Article Synopsis
  • Adlay, also known as Job's tears, is a significant cereal and medicinal plant in Asia, but genomic resources for its study are limited.
  • Researchers created a draft genome for the soft-shelled adlay variety, Johyun, using advanced sequencing methods, which revealed a genome size of 1.28 Gb and identified a large number of protein-coding genes.
  • The study highlights key genes related to seed production and medicinal properties of adlay, contributing valuable information for future breeding and pharmacological research.

Sleep is an evolutionarily conserved physiological process implicated in the consolidation of learning and memory (L/M). Here, we report that sleep deprivation (SD)-induced cognitive deficits in zebrafish are mediated through reduction in O-GlcNAcylation of brain. Microarray-based gene expression profiling of zebrafish brain demonstrated significant changes in genes involved in metabolism by SD or fear conditioning (FC), compared to the control group.

Objective: This study examined the effects of display curvature, presbyopia, and task duration on visual fatigue, task performance, and user satisfaction.

Background: Although curved displays have been applied to diverse display products, and some studies reported their benefits, it is still unknown whether the effects of display curvature are presbyopia-specific.

Method: Each of 64 individuals (eight nonpresbyopes and eight presbyopes per display curvature) performed four 15-min proofreading tasks at one display curvature radius setting (600R, 1140R, 4000R, and flat; mm).

The need for sustainable development has been widely recognized and sustainable development has become a hot topic of various disciplines even though the role of ergonomics in it is seldom reported or considered. This study conducts a systematic survey of research publications in the fields of ergonomics and sustainable development over the past two decades (1992-2011), in order to identify their research trends and convergent areas where ergonomics can play an important role in sustainable development. The results show that 'methods and techniques', 'human characteristics', 'work design and organization', 'health and safety' and 'workplace and equipment design' are the top five frequently researched areas in ergonomics.
