Abstract: The temperature memory effect (TME) in differential scanning calorimeter test of a thermoplastic polyurethane is investigated in two ways: one is termedTME1, in which the material is cooled down for full crystallization during thermal cycling; while the other is termed TME2, in which the material is cooled, but before any crystallization occurs. In the case of single heating stop tem…
Powdery mildew, caused by Erysiphe pisi D.C., is a major constraint to pea production worldwide. The pea cultivar Xucai 1 has shown high resistance to E. pisi under greenhouse and field conditions. The objectives of this study were to identify and characterize genes conferring resistance to powdery mildew in Xucai 1. Three crosses, Qizhen 76 × Xucai 1, Bawan 6 × Xucai 1, and Xucai 1 × Bawan…
Abstract. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties of silver electrodes and periodical silver nanowire arrays were studied and compared. The silver electrode was fabricated by applying oxidization– reduction cycle (ORC) voltage on a high purity (99.999%) silver sheet in 0.2 M KCl solution and the periodical nanowire arrays were fabricated by assembling silver nanowire into the …
In this study, we investigated the role and molecular mechanism of p43 and YS-1 (recombinant human p43 protein) in Dll4-Notch1 signaling pathway. Active, small interfering RNA and recombinant plasmid targeting of p43 protein were used to infect human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Three-dimensional sprouting model, endothelial cell migration assay, and sprouting and tube formation a…
