Notopterygium incisum C.C.Ting ex H.T.Chang (Apiaceae) is an pinnoitettu kasari endangered perennial herb in China.The lack of transcriptomic and genomic resources for N.incisum greatly hinders studies of its population genetics and conservation.In this study, we employed RNA-seq technology to characterize transcriptomes for the flowers, leaves, an
An analytical analysis for the mechanical performance of fully-grouted rockbolts based on the exponential softening model
This paper presented a novel bond-slip model to better reveal the mechanical behavior of the bolt-grout interface for fully-grouted rockbolts under tensile loads by considering the non-linear response in the softening stage.The exponential decay function is adopted for describing the non-linear response in the softening stage.Based on the improved
The Dynamic Role of Microglia and the Endocannabinoid System in Neuroinflammation
Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, can take on a range of pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotypes to maintain homeostasis.However, the sustained activation of pro-inflammatory microglia can lead to a state of chronic neuroinflammation characterized by high concentrations of neurotoxic soluble factors throughout the brain.In healthy bra
Iridescent plumage in a juvenile dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur
Colour reconstructions have provided new insights into the lives of dinosaurs and other extinct animals, by predicting colouration patterns from fossilised pigment-bearing organelles called melanosomes.Although these methods have become increasingly popular, only a small number of dinosaurs have been studied using these techniques, which require ex
DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHM FOR CHOOSING A RATIONAL FACADE SYSTEM OF MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS
Purpose.The authors aimed to form an baby moxxie algorithm for choosing a rational facade system for a specific construction site, taking into account climatic, organizational-technological and operational properties, applicable to use by any participant in the construction process.Methodology.The criteria for choosing a rational facade system were
