A Role of the FUZZY ONIONS LIKE Gene in Regulating Cell Death and Defense in Arabidopsis
(Nature, 2016-11-29)Programmed cell death (PCD) is critical for development and responses to environmental stimuli in many organisms. FUZZY ONIONS (FZO) proteins in yeast, flies, and mammals are known to affect mitochondrial fusion and function. ... -
Transcriptome analyses reveal SR45 to be a neutral splicing regulator and a suppressor of innate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana
(BMC, 2017-10-11)Background Regulation of pre-mRNA splicing diversifies protein products and affects many biological processes. Arabidopsis thaliana Serine/Arginine-rich 45 (SR45), regulates pre-mRNA splicing by interacting with other ... -
Signalling requirements for Erwinia amylovora-induced disease resistance, callose deposition and cell growth in the non-host Arabidopsis thaliana
(Wiley, 2017-07-29)Erwinia amylovora is the causal agent of the fire blight disease in some plants of the Rosaceae family. The non-host plant Arabidopsis serves as a powerful system for the dissection of mechanisms of resistance to E. ... -
Coronatine is more potent than jasmonates in regulating Arabidopsis circadian clock
(Nature, 2020-07-30)Recent studies establish a crucial role of the circadian clock in regulating plant defense against pathogens. Whether pathogens modulate host circadian clock as a potential strategy to suppress host innate immunity is not ... -

Rectangular Confidence Regions and Prediction Regions in Multivariate Calibration
(Springer, 2022-03-28)The multivariate calibration problem deals with inference concerning an unknown value of a covariate vector based on an observation on a response vector. Two distinct scenarios are considered in the multivariate calibration ... -
Efficient chito-oligosaccharide utilization requires two TonB-dependent transporters and one hexosaminidase in Cellvibrio japonicus
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)Chitin utilization by microbes plays a significant role in biosphere carbon and nitrogen cycling, and studying the microbial approaches used to degrade chitin will facilitate our understanding of bacterial strategies to ... -
Assessing performance of quantum annealing with non-linear driving
(2022-03-31)Current generation quantum annealers have already proven to be successful problem-solvers. Yet, quantum annealing is still very much in its infancy, with suboptimal applicability. For instance, to date it is still an open ... -
Kibble-Zurek scaling from linear response theory
(2022-03-23)While quantum phase transitions share many characteristics with thermodynamic phase transitions, they are also markedly different as they occur at zero temperature. Hence, it is not immediately clear whether tools and ... -
Global dust optical depth climatology derived from CALIOP and MODIS aerosol retrievals on decadal timescales: regional and interannual variability
(EGU, 2021-09-09)We derived two observation-based global monthly mean dust aerosol optical depth (DAOD) climatological datasets from 2007 to 2019 with a 2° (latitude) × 5° (longitude) spatial resolution, one based on Cloud-Aerosol Lidar ... -
Efficient and Flexible Aggregation and Distribution of MODIS Atmospheric Products Based on Climate Analytics as a Service Framework
(MDPI, 2021-09-06)MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument onboard NASA’s Terra (launched in 1999) and Aqua (launched in 2002) satellite missions as part of the more extensive Earth Observation System (EOS). ... -
A Modified Minibatch Sampling Method for Parameter Estimation in Hidden Markov Models using Stochastic Variational Bayes
(Wiley, 2021-12-14)Parameter estimation using stochastic variatonal Bayes (SVB) under a mean field assumption can be carried out by sampling a single data point at each iteration of the optimization algorithm. However, when latent variables ... -
Using Deep Learning to Enhance Compton Camera Based Prompt Gamma Image Reconstruction Data for Proton Radiotherapy
(Wiley, 2021-12-14)Proton beam radiotherapy is a cancer treatment method that uses proton beams to irradiate cancerous tissue while simultaneously sparing doses to healthy tissue. In order to optimize radiational doses to the tumor and ensure ... -
Deep Learning Based Classification Methods of Compton Camera Based Prompt Gamma Imaging for Proton Radiotherapy
(2021)Proton beam radiotherapy is a method of cancer treatment that uses proton beams to irradi ate cancerous tissue, while simultaneously sparing doses to healthy tissue. In order to optimize radiation doses to the tumor and ... -
A Study of The Clinical Viability of A Prototype Compton Camera for Prompt Gamma Imaging Based Proton Beam Range Verification
(AAPM, 2021-06-25)We present Compton camera (CC) based PG imaging for proton range verification at clinical dose rates. PG emission from a tissue-equivalent phantom during irradiation with clinical proton beams was measured with a prototype ... -
Stochastic Galerkin finite element method for nonlinear elasticity and application to reinforced concrete members
(2022-03-21)We develop a stochastic Galerkin finite element method for nonlinear elasticity and apply it to reinforced concrete members with random material properties. The strategy is based on the modified Newton-Raphson method, which ... -
Comparing global and local maps of the Caribbean pine forests of Andros, home of the critically endangered Bahama Oriole
(Springer, 2021-11-17)Forest loss is occurring at alarming rates across the globe. The pine rockland forests of Andros, The Bahamas, likely represent some of the largest stands of Bahamian subspecies of Caribbean pine in the world. Given the ... -
Simultaneous view of the FRB~180301 with FAST and NICER during a bursting phase
(2022-03-14)FRB180301 is one of the most actively repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) which has shown polarization angle changes in its radio burst emission, an indication for their likely origin in the magnetosphere of a highly-magnetized ... -
Limits on the hard X-ray emission from the periodic fast radio burst FRB 180916.J0158+65
(2022-03-16)FRB 180916.J0158+65 is one of the nearest, periodically repeating, and actively bursting fast radio burst (FRB) which has been localized to the outskirts of a spiral galaxy. In this work we study the FRB with the hard X-ray ... -
A radio, optical, UV and X-ray view of the enigmatic changing look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654 from its pre- to post-flare states
(2022-03-16)The nearby type-II AGN 1ES1927+654 went through a violent changing-look (CL) event beginning December 2017 during which the optical and UV fluxes increased by four magnitudes over a few months, and broad emission lines ...
