With the booming development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and communication technologies such as 5G, our future world is envisioned as an interconnected entity where billions of devices will provide uninterrupted service to our daily lives and the industry.Meanwhile, these devices will generate massive amounts of valuable data at the network edge, c
In this article, we consider the problem of using multiple robots (searchers) to capture intruders in an environment.Assume that a robot can access the position of an intruder in real time, that is, an intruder is visible by a robot.We simplify the environment so that robots and worst-case intruders move along a weighted graph, which is a topologic
Awns, important domestication and agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.), are conferred by polygenes and the environment.Near isogenic line (NIL) pairs BM33 and BM38 were constructed from crosses between awnless japonica cv Nipponbare as recurrent parent, and lines SLG or Funingxiaohongmang (awned japonica accessions), respectively, as Kits don
Activity-guided separation of antioxidant response element (ARE)-inducing constituents from the rhizomes of Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba was performed by the combination of centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) and an ARE luciferase reporter assay.From 3 g of the active n-hexane fraction, one polyacetylene, (6E,12E)-tetradeca-6,12-dien-8,10-diyne
Serrated adenomas form a distinct subtype of colorectal pre-malignant lesions that may progress to malignancy along a different molecular pathway than the conventional adenoma-carcinoma pathway.Previous studies have hypothesised that BRAF mutation and promoter hypermethylation plays a role, but the evidence for this is not robust.We aimed to carry
