The Coupled Reactance-Less Memristor Based Relaxation Oscillators for Binary Oscillator Networks.

This paper discusses the application of coupled reactance-less memristor-based oscillators (MBO) with binary output signals in oscillatory networks. A class of binary-coupled memristor oscillators provides simple integration with standard CMOS logic elements. Combining MBOs with binary logic elements ensures the operation of complex information processing algorithms.

Coupling of Cell Division and Differentiation in Cultured Cells with Interaction of Ethylene and ABA Signaling Pathways.

Recent studies indicate direct links between molecular cell cycle and cell differentiation machineries. Ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) are known to affect cell division and differentiation, but the mechanisms of such effects are poorly understood. As ethylene and ABA signaling routes may interact, we examined their involvement in cell division and differentiation in cell tissue cultures derived from several plants: wild type (Col-0), and ethylene-insensitive mutants and .

[The application of the 'Biometriclal Dactylography 17.0' program complex for the digital interpretation of the finger dermatoglyphic features].

The objective of the present study was the development of the computer software for the scale-free interpretation of the finger dermatoglyphic features needed for the objective comprehensive evaluation of their principal characteristics in the digital terms. We have elaborated the program complex making it possible to address the following problems: thr formulation of the database of electronic copies of the finger print and toe print images in the family groups, the display of the finger print and toe print images on the screen, marking the points and lines for automated readout of digital angular and metric information or automated calculation of relative values, the formulation of the database of digital information about the papillary patterns on the fingers and toes in the family triplets (farther + mother + child) and its import into an Excel file.

[The choice of the finger dermatoglyphic patterns for the dermatoglyphic studies depending on the functional activity of the hands].

The objective of the present study was to choose the finger dermatoglyphic patterns most closely related to the functional right- and left-handedness. The dependence of significance of the said patterns on the functional right- and left-handedness was estimated based on the results of the determination of the absolute number of various types and subtypes of finger dermatoglyphics on the right and left hands as well as their percentage ratio. The results obtained in the study were used to develop the classification of the finger dermatoglyphic patterns based on the analysis of the complicated influence of the functional right- and left-handedness on the prevalence of one or another pattern on the right or left hand.

Nitric Oxide Has a Concentration-Dependent Effect on the Cell Cycle Acting EIN2 in Cultured Cells.

Ethylene is known to influence the cell cycle (CC) via poorly characterized roles whilst nitric oxide (NO) has well-established roles in the animal CC but analogous role(s) have not been reported for plants. As NO and ethylene signaling events often interact we examined their role in CC in cultured cells derived from wild-type (Col-0) plants and from ethylene-insensitive mutant plants. Both NO and ethylene were produced mainly during the first 5 days of the sub-cultivation period corresponding to the period of active cell division.
