    Description: This work focuses on the preparation of biochar and the study of the adsorption properties of lead ions on it in water. CS (carbon wheat straw) was obtained by carbonizing 60 min at 300°C. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of initial pH value, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentration and temperature on the adsorption properties. Pseudo first order and pseudo second order models were used to study the kinetics of the process, and results showed adsorption of Pb 2+ by CS followed pseudo second order kinetic model. The Langmuir isotherm model provided the best correlation for Pb 2+ adsorption, indicating that the adsorption was chemical monolayer adsorption. The adsorption capacity q m was increased with increasing temperature, reached 149.701mg/g for CS and 44.663 mg/g for NS (natural straw), at 35°C, respectively, showing the adsorption was exothermic. It was concluded that the adsorption capacity of CS is 3.3 times of ...

    Description: : Structural variations (SVs) are large genomic rearrangements that vary significantly in size, making them challenging to detect with the relatively short reads from next-generation sequencing (NGS). Different SV detection methods have been developed; however, each is limited to specific kinds of SVs with varying accuracy and resolution. Previous works have attempted to combine different methods, but they still suffer from poor accuracy particularly for insertions. We propose MetaSV, an integrated SV caller which leverages multiple orthogonal SV signals for high accuracy and resolution. MetaSV proceeds by merging SVs from multiple tools for all types of SVs. It also analyzes soft-clipped reads from alignment to detect insertions accurately since existing tools underestimate insertion SVs. Local assembly in combination with dynamic programming is used to improve breakpoint resolution. Paired-end and coverage information is used to predict SV genotypes. Using simulation and experimental data, we demonstrate the effectiveness of MetaSV across various SV types and sizes.

    Description: In mobile environments, data stored in nodes are subject to side-channel attacks such as power analysis, emitted signal, detected radiation, etc. In this work, we propose a leakage-resilient inner-product encryption that the decryption will succeed if and only if the decryption attribute vector (generate the token) meets the orthogonal encryption attribute vector (obfuscated encryption policy), that is, the match holds that the inner product of two vectors is zero. Propose scheme supports the security of attribute-hiding and leakage-resilient in the standard model. The adversary cannot only issue any token reveal query on non-match vector, but also can request at most $\ell $ -bit information on the token-leakage query even if the queried vector matches the challenge vector. We prove the security by the technique of dual system encryption in the orthogonal subgroups, to be strongly leakage-resilient and adaptively attribute-hiding. We also deploy our scheme as a building block to devise a secure two-party point/polynomial evaluation protocol in mobility environments, in which two parties cooperate to evaluate a polynomial in the sense that their sensitive inputs of both point and polynomial are fully preserved. Finally, we assess the performance of leakage resilience including the leakage bound and the leakage fraction (LF). Analysis shows that the leakage bound is approximate $(n-1)\log {\pi _2}$ and the LF is about ${1}/{2(1+\omega _1+\omega _3)}$ , where $n$ is the length of vector, $\pi _2$ is the order of subgroup $\mathbb {G}_{\pi _2}$ and $\omega _1,\omega _3$ are the constants. We can obtain optimized LF $1/2-o(1)$ by varying the sizes of subgroups.

    Description: : Over the past years growing knowledge about biological processes and pathways revealed complex interaction networks involving many genes. In order to understand these networks, analysis of differential expression has continuously moved from single genes towards the study of gene sets. Various approaches for the assessment of gene sets have been developed in the context of gene set analysis (GSA). These approaches are bridging the gap between raw measurements and semantically meaningful terms. We present a novel approach for assessing uncertainty in the definition of gene sets. This is an essential step when new gene sets are constructed from domain knowledge or given gene sets are suspected to be affected by uncertainty. Quantification of uncertainty is implemented in the R-package GiANT. We also included widely used GSA methods, embedded in a generic framework that can readily be extended by custom methods. The package provides an easy to use front end and allows for fast parallelization. Availability and implementation: The package GiANT is available on CRAN.

    Description: The organization of the genome within the mammalian nucleus is nonrandom, with physiologic processes often concentrated in specific three-dimensional domains. This organization may be functionally related to gene regulation and, as such, may play a role in normal development and human disease processes. However, the mechanisms that participate in nuclear organization are poorly understood. Here, we present data characterizing localization of the imprinted Kcnq1 alleles. We show that nucleolar association of the paternal allele (1) is stimulated during the differentiation of trophoblast stem cells, (ii) is dependent upon the Kcnq1ot1 noncoding RNA, (3) does not require polycomb repressive complex 2, and (4) is not sufficient to preclude transcription of imprinted genes. Although nucleolar positioning has been proposed as a mechanism to related to gene silencing, we find that silencing and perinucleolar localization through the Kcnq1ot1 noncoding RNA are separable events.

    Description: The expression of key traits like parental provisioning and offspring begging is confounded by the parent–offspring conflict in species with parental care, with offspring seeking greater parental investment than parents are willing to provide. Given the reciprocal interplay of these traits, selection has likely favored specific parent–offspring trait combinations, and it has been a longstanding question which party benefits most from this linkage. This will become apparent in a mismatch situation, which we here experimentally created by reciprocally cross-fostering blue tit broods. We hypothesized that offspring fledgling mass and their excreted corticosterone metabolite (CM) levels (reflecting stress) should vary with the rate of (foster) parental care (if provisioning is under full parental control), with offspring begging (if offspring is fully in control), or an interaction of both traits reflecting stable end points along a power continuum. We found a significant interaction effect, that is, highly demanding broods reached lowest fledgling mass when raised by low providing parents (due to partly unrewarded costly begging) but highest fledgling mass when raised by high providers. This pattern, however, was not reflected in offspring CM levels. Parental provisioning of the foster parents affected CM levels again in interaction with the offspring’s begging level, but this pattern may rather reflect intensity and frequency of sibling competition. Taken together, our results suggest that an adjustment of the offspring’s phenotype to the post-hatching social environment is primarily beneficial for highly demanding offspring and that parents have the upper hand (but probably not full control) over provisioning.

    Description: Attribution of the causes of atmospheric trace gas and aerosol variability often requires the use of high resolution time series of anthropogenic and natural emissions inventories. Here we developed an approach for representing synoptic- and diurnal-scale temporal variability in fire emissions for the Global Fire Emissions Database version 3 (GFED3). We disaggregated monthly GFED3 emissions during 2003–2009 to a daily time step using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived measurements of active fires from Terra and Aqua satellites. In parallel, mean diurnal cycles were constructed from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Wildfire Automated Biomass Burning Algorithm (WF_ABBA) active fire observations. Daily variability in fires varied considerably across different biomes, with short but intense periods of daily emissions in boreal ecosystems and lower intensity (but more continuous) periods of burning in savannas. These patterns were consistent with earlier field and modeling work characterizing fire behavior dynamics in different ecosystems. On diurnal timescales, our analysis of the GOES WF_ABBA active fires indicated that fires in savannas, grasslands, and croplands occurred earlier in the day as compared to fires in nearby forests. Comparison with Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) and Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) column CO observations provided evidence that including daily variability in emissions moderately improved atmospheric model simulations, particularly during the fire season and near regions with high levels of biomass burning. The high temporal resolution estimates of fire emissions developed here may ultimately reduce uncertainties related to fire contributions to atmospheric trace gases and aerosols. Important future directions include reconciling top-down and bottom up estimates of fire radiative power and integrating burned area and active fire time series from multiple satellite sensors to improve daily emissions estimates.

    Description: As with other retinal cell types, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) arise from multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), and their formation is regulated by a hierarchical gene-regulatory network (GRN). Within this GRN, three transcription factors—atonal homolog 7 (Atoh7), POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 2 (Pou4f2), and insulin gene enhancer protein...
