摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods for transfecting plants and for expressing RNA or polypeptide molecules in plants. In particular, plants having reduced POLQ expression and/or activity are transfected in order to reduce random integration events. The disclosure further provides transfected plants and plant progeny produced by the methods disclosed herein.
摘要:
A method of monitoring a user's neuronal activity (10) includes recording a user's behavioural output with a portable electronic device, such as a mobile cellphone. The user's behavioural output (14) is compared (18) with predefined behavioural outputs associated with known event-related neuronal activations (20). The user's event-related neuronal activation (22) is determined based upon the comparison so as to provide an indication of the user's neuronal activity.
摘要:
The disclosure concerns snake-derived peptides and the useful application of such peptides to inhibit bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections. The disclosed peptides are also useful for the treatment of an inflammatory condition or cancers.

This disclosure relates to the field of secondary metabolite production in plants. More specifically, the disclosure relates to chimeric genes and their use in the regulation of biosynthesis and/or production of secondary metabolites in plants and plant-derived cell cultures.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a process to prepare metal nanoparticles or metal oxide nanoparticles by applying a cathodic potential as an alternating current (ac) voltage to a solid starting metal object which solid metal object is in contact with a liquid electrolyte comprising a stabilising cation. The invention is also directed to the use of the nanoparticles as a catalyst.

摘要:
The present invention relates to phaseguide patterns for use in fluid systems such as channels, chambers, and flow through cells. In order to effectively control filling and/or emptying of fluidic chambers and channels, techniques for a controlled overflowing of phaseguides are proposed. In addition, techniques of confined liquid patterning in a larger fluidic structure, including approaches for patterning overflow structures and the specific shape of phaseguides, are provided. The invention also proposes techniques to effectively rotate the advancement of a liquid/air meniscus over a certain angle. In particular, a phaseguide pattern for guiding a flow of a liquid contained within a compartment is provided, wherein an overflow of the phaseguide by a moving liquid phase is controlled by a local change in capillary force along the phaseguide, wherein said overflow by the liquid over the phaseguide is provoked at the position of the local change in capillary force.
