Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is increasingly being used as a reverse genetics tool to study functions of specific plant genes.It is especially useful for plants, such as soybean, that are recalcitrant to transformation.Previously, Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) was shown to be an effective VIGS vector for soybean.However, the reported BPMV vec
Sensory Cortical Plasticity Participates in the Epigenetic Regulation of Robust Memory Formation
Neuroplasticity remodels sensory cortex across the lifespan.A function of adult sensory cortical plasticity may be capturing available information during perception for memory formation.The degree of experience-dependent remodeling in sensory cortex appears to determine memory strength and specificity for important sensory signals.A key open questi
CT Segmentation of Dinosaur Fossils by Deep Learning
Recently, deep learning has reached significant advancements in various image-related tasks, particularly in medical sciences.Deep neural networks have been used to facilitate diagnosing medical images generated from various observation techniques including CT (computed tomography) scans.As a non-destructive 3D imaging technique, CT Oil Squirters s
Rotating-Magnetic-Field-Assisted Electrodeposition of Copper for Ambulance Medical Equipment
This study examines the influence of the application of a AirPods Case rotating magnetic field in the electrodeposition of copper (Cu).During the electrodeposition, five constant magnets were rotated (500 and 800 rpm) towards the bottom of the sample.To investigate deposition rate, surface morphology, phase, structure, corrosion resistance, and har
Complete and Partial Lesions of the Pyramidal Tract in the Rat Affect Qualitative Measures of Skilled Movements: Impairment in Fixations as a Model for Clumsy Behavior
Little is known about prenatal and perinatal brain injury resulting in subsequent clumsy behavior in Console set children.One candidate motor system is the pyramidal tract.The tract traverses the entire central nervous system and, through direct and indirect connections to the brainstem and spinal cord sensory and motor nuclei, is involved in the l
