Unbalance between working memory task-activation and task-deactivation networks in epilepsy: Simultaneous EEG-fMRI study.

Working memory (WM) is a cognitive function involving emergent properties of theta oscillations and large-scale network interactions. The synchronization of WM task-related networks in the brain enhanced WM performance. However, how these networks regulate WM processing is not well known, and the alteration of the interaction among these networks may play an important role in patients with cognitive dysfunction.

Genome-Wide Characterization and Function Analysis of Genes' Response to Saline Stress in L.

Early responsive dehydration (ERD) genes can be rapidly induced by dehydration. ERD15 genes have been confirmed to regulate various stress responses in plants. However, the maize ERD15 members have not been characterized.

Hyperspectral detection of fresh corn peeling damage using germinating sparse classification method.

Peeling damage reduces the quality of fresh corn ear and affects the purchasing decisions of consumers. Hyperspectral imaging technique has great potential to be used for detection of peeling-damaged fresh corn. However, conventional non-machine-learning methods are limited by unsatisfactory detection accuracy, and machine-learning methods rely heavily on training samples.

Comprehensive Identification and Functional Analysis of Stress-Associated Protein (SAP) Genes in Osmotic Stress in Maize.

Stress-associated proteins (SAPs) are a kind of zinc finger protein with an A20/AN1 domain and contribute to plants' adaption to various abiotic and biological stimuli. However, little is known about the genes in maize ( L.).

Measurement and Analysis of Root Anchorage Effect on Stalk Forces in Lodged Corn Harvesting.

The effect of root anchorage on corn stalk is the main cause of difficulties in stalk lifting and ear picking of lodged corn. To quantify the forces on the stalks caused by root anchorage in corn harvesting, a root force measurement system was designed and applied in this study. The bending moment and torsional moment on the upright and lodged corn stalks were measured in corn harvesting with the designed system and the results were compared with the manually measured failure boundaries.

Genome-wide investigation of the MADS gene family and dehulling genes in tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum).

Genome-wide identification, expression analysis and potential functional characterization of previously uncharacterized MADS family of tartary buckwheat, emphasized the importance of this gene family in plant growth and development. The MADS transcription factor is a key regulatory factor in the development of most plants. The MADS gene in plants controls all aspects of tissue and organ growth and reproduction and can be used to regulate plant seed cracking.
