Mechanisms, Machinery, and Dynamics of Chromosome Segregation in .

(maize) is both an agronomically important crop and a powerful genetic model system with an extensive molecular toolkit and genomic resources. With these tools, maize is an optimal system for cytogenetic study, particularly in the investigation of chromosome segregation. Here, we review the advances made in maize chromosome segregation, specifically in the regulation and dynamic assembly of the mitotic and meiotic spindle, the inheritance and mechanisms of the abnormal chromosome variant Ab10, the regulation of chromosome-spindle interactions via the spindle assembly checkpoint, and the function of kinetochore proteins that bridge chromosomes and spindles.

Machine Learning Prediction of Nitric Acid Extraction Behavior in PUREX Process.

Plutonium uranium reduction extraction (PUREX) is a liquid-liquid extraction process used to recover plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) from irradiated uranium fuel for various nuclear-related applications. Despite extensive efforts, quantitative prediction of liquid-liquid extraction parameters, i.e.

Performance evaluation of a bi-directional synchronous H6 inverter for AC/DC system interaction with SiC and Si-Based at different switching frequencies.

The bidirectional inverter connected to the grid is a crucial component of DC distribution systems, however its operation can have an impact on the systems' overall efficiency. The usual load profile of such systems in residential buildings is quite dynamic, with multiple periods of light load, especially when compared to high-demand sectors. This study examines and contrasts the impact of SiC and Si power MOSFETs on the best configuration of a 5 kW bidirectional H6 inverter specifically designed for residential use applications.

Learning on a Limb: An outreach module to engage high school students in orthopaedics.

Orthopaedic researchers need new strategies for engaging underrepresented minority (URM) students. Our field has demonstrated noticeable gaps in racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, which inhibit our ability to innovate and combat the severe socioeconomic burden of musculoskeletal disorders. Towards this goal, we designed, implemented, and evaluated Learning on a Limb (LoaL), an orthopaedic research outreach module to teach URM high school students about orthopaedic research.
