Recently developed DNA assembly methods have enabled the rapid and simultaneous assembly of multiple parts to create complex synthetic gene circuits. A number of groups have proposed the use of computationally designed orthogonal spacer sequences to guide the ordered assembly of parts using overlap-directed or homologous recombination-based methods. This approach is particularly useful for assembling multiple parts with repetitive elements. Orthogonal spacer sequences (sometimes called UNSs-unique nucleotide sequences) also have a number of other potential uses including in the design of synthetic promoters regulated by novel regulatory elements.

The characterization of phenotypes in cells or organisms from microscopy data largely depends on differences in the spatial distribution of image intensity. Multiple methods exist for quantifying the intensity distribution - or image texture - across objects in natural images. However, many of these texture extraction methods do not directly adapt to 3D microscopy data.

Plant parts such as roots, bark, leaves, flowers, and fruits that hold ethnopharmacological significance are naturally prone to microbial contamination, influenced by environmental factors like moisture and humidity. This study focuses on assessing the microbial load in the raw material of Tribulus terrestris (TT). The primary bacterium isolated from the pulverized raw material was identified as Bacillus haynesii through 16S rRNA sequencing.

Objectives: This research describes four aspects of the development of the Sense of Safety Theoretical Framework for whole person care: exploring the meaning of the phrase "sense of safety"-the whole person ; the range of human experience that impacts sense of safety-whole person ; the dynamics that build sense of safety-the healing ; and the personal and cross-disciplinary trauma-informed practitioner that facilitate sense of safety.

Methods: This qualitative participatory study was conducted in two phases. Researchers iteratively explored the concept of sense of safety using focus groups and semi-structured interviews.

Background: With an aging global population, establishing integrated systems for long-term care is challenging in several countries. Adequate and quality service for older adults in nursing homes can improve their quality of life. The career self-reliance of nurses working in nursing homes may affect the quality of life of older adults; this suggests a need for educational support for career self-reliance behavior.

Mueller matrix polarization measurement technique, as a non-invasive and label-free, provides comprehensive optical information on polarization-related and structural characteristics of the measured target. It has been widely applied in biomedical, agricultural, and industrial fields. However, the traditional time-division modulation Mueller matrix measurement method requires multiple measurements, which suffers from long measurement time and susceptibility to cumulative errors from moving parts.
