Teff Yield and Nutrient Uptake Partitioning During Prolonged Waterlogging: A Preliminary Greenhouse Study.

There is a lack of studies examining the effects of prolonged waterlogging on both yield and nutrient uptake partitioning in teff. A greenhouse study was conducted to assess the impact of different durations of waterlogging on teff's growth, yield, nutrient uptake and partitioning among grain, straw, and root components. Teff plants were subjected to five waterlogging durations as days after transplanting (DAT) ranging from upland to waterlogging to the entire growing period (WHOLE).

Impact of Photoactivated Curcumin on Proliferation of Experimentally Induced Periodontitis and Diabetic Gingival Fibroblast Cell Line.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of photoactivated curcumin on proliferation of experimentally induced periodontitis and diabetic gingival fibroblast in laboratory settings.

Materials And Methods: Gingival fibroblast (GF) cells were divided into healthy GF (HGF), diabetic GF (DGF), and periodontitis-associated diabetic GF (P-DGF) cells that were treated with a solution of curcumin that was prepared and diluted in autoclave distilled water to obtain a concentration used (1 mg/ml). Gingival fibroblasts with curcumin and without curcumin were seeded in a 96-well plate that was treated with a light-emitting diode curing light with a wavelength of 445 nm using a transparent diffuser tip.

Surfactant-induced hole concentration enhancement for highly efficient perovskite light-emitting diodes.

It is widely acknowledged that constructing small injection barriers for balanced electron and hole injections is essential for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, in highly efficient LEDs based on metal halide perovskites, a seemingly large hole injection barrier is usually observed. Here we rationalize this high efficiency through a surfactant-induced effect where the hole concentration at the perovskite surface is enhanced to enable sufficient bimolecular recombination pathways with injected electrons.

Modulation of occludin, NF-κB, p-STAT3, and Th17 response by DJ-X-025 decreases inflammation and ameliorates experimental colitis.

Scope: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves a range of immune-mediated disorders marked by systemic and local intestinal inflammation. We synthesized a novel compound DJ-X-025 and uncovered its anti-inflammatory properties using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages in vitro and a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced model of colitis.

Towards site-specific nutrient management strategies: An open database in Senegal.

Building open databases is critical to creating effective, locally-informed decision support systems in agriculture. In West Africa, particularly in Senegal, the open agricultural data movement is growing but still requires further investment. This review aimed to create an open database by integrating existing data on yield response to nutrient applications for major field crops.
