A Highly Efficient -Mediated Hairy Root Transformation Method of and the Generation of Transgenic Plants.

is a promising woody oilseed species because of its high oil yield. However, its use is greatly limited due to the lack of varieties with good qualities; additionally, gene function has been less studied in this plant because an efficient transformation method has not been established yet. In this study, we established a rapid and efficient hairy root transformation method by infecting the whole seedling, the rootless seedling, and the leaf petiole with using different infection methods.

Construction of Monolayer TiCT MXene on Nickel Foam under High Electrostatic Fields for High-Performance Supercapacitors.

TiCT MXene, as a common two-dimensional material, has a wide range of applications in electrochemical energy storage. However, the surface forces of few-layer or monolayer TiCT MXene lead to easy agglomeration, which hinders the demonstration of its performance due to the characteristics of layered materials. Herein, we report a facile method for preparing monolayer TiCT MXene on nickel foam to achieve a self-supporting structure for supercapacitor electrodes under high electrostatic fields.

The impact of facial attractiveness and alleged personality traits on fairness decisions in the ultimatum game: Evidence from ERPs.

In the mind of the beholder the personality and facial attractiveness of others are interrelated. However, how these specific properties are processed in the neurocognitive system and interact with each other while economic decisions are made is not well understood. Here, we combined the ultimatum game with EEG technology, to investigate how alleged personality traits and the perceived facial attractiveness of proposers of fair and unfair offers influence their acceptance by the responders.

Pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients with endometrial hyperplasia with or without atypia undergoing fertilization: the early-follicular long protocol is superior to midluteal long protocol.

Background: Although fertilization (IVF) in infertile patients with endometrial hyperplasia is common after drug treatment, the pregnancy outcomes are often unsatisfactory. Till date, no studies have reported the outcome of patients with endometrial hyperplasia treated using early-follicular long (EL) protocol and midluteal long (ML) protocol.

Objective: To evaluate the pregnancy outcomes and disease prognosis of patients with endometrial hyperplasia with or without atypia undergoing IVF treatment with EL protocol or ML protocol.

DUSP2 affects bladder cancer prognosis by down-regulating MEK/ERK and P38 MAPK signaling pathways through PTPN7.

Background: As one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, bladder cancer (BCa) ranks 12th in incidence rate. Dual Specific Phosphatase 2 (DUSP2) is a member of the bispecific protein phosphatase subfamily. DUSP2 is closely related to the prognosis of cancer, but the role of DUSP2 in bladder cancer is still unclear.

Prediction and Global Sensitivity Analysis of Long-Term Deflections in Reinforced Concrete Flexural Structures Using Surrogate Models.

Reinforced concrete (RC) is the result of a combination of steel reinforcing rods (which have high tensile) and concrete (which has high compressive strength). Additionally, the prediction of long-term deformations of RC flexural structures and the magnitude of the influence of the relevant material and geometric parameters are important for evaluating their serviceability and safety throughout their life cycles. Empirical methods for predicting the long-term deformation of RC structures are limited due to the difficulty of considering all the influencing factors.

Secrecy Capacity Enhancement in Active IRS-Assisted UAV Communication System.

As a new technology for reconstructing communication environments, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) can be applied to UAV communication systems. However, some challenges exist in IRS-assisted UAV communication system design, such as physical layer security issues, IRS design, and power consumption issues owing to the limitation of the hardware. Therefore, a secrecy capacity optimization scheme for an active IRS-assisted unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication system is proposed to solve multi-user security issues.
