The article describes a system for real-time interpolated animation that addresses some of these problems. Through creating parameterized motions-which the authors call verbs by adverbs-a single authored verb produces continuous range subtle variations given motion at rates. As result, simulated figures alter their actions based on momentary mood or in response to changes goals environmental stimuli. For example, they demonstrate walk can show emotions such as happiness and sadness, due...

The effect of seed meals derived from Brassica juncea, B. napus, or Sinapis alba on suppression soilborne pathogens inciting replant disease apple was evaluated in greenhouse trials. Regardless plant source, meal amendment significantly improved growth all orchard soils; however, relative differences pathogen were observed. All suppressed root infection by native Rhizoctonia spp. and an introduced isolate solani AG-5, though juncea often generated a lower level control to other types. When...

Specifying the motion of an animated linked figure such that it achieves given tasks (e.g., throwing a ball into basket) and performs in realistic fashion gracefully, following physical laws as gravity) has been elusive goal for computer animators. The spacetime constraints paradigm shown to be valuable approach this problem, but suffers from computational complexity growth creatures those one would like animate. is be, part, due choice finite basis with which represent trajectories...

Theoretical and numerical aspects of the implementation a DYNAmic MOtion system, dubbed DYNAMO, for dynamic simulation linked figures is presented. The system introduces three means achieving, control resulting motion which have not been present in previous systems computer animation. (1) Kinematic constraints permit traditional keyframe animation to be embedded within analysis. Joint limit are also handled correctly through kinematic constraints. (2) Behavior functions relate momentary...

Theoretical and numerical aspects of the implementation a DYNAmic MOtion system, dubbed DYNAMO, for dynamic simulation linked figures is presented. The system introduces three means achieving, control resulting motion which have not been present in previous systems computer animation.

Environmental bacteria are exposed to a myriad of biotic interactions that influence their function and survival. The grazing activity protozoan predators significantly impacts the dynamics, diversification, evolution bacterial communities in soil ecosystems. To evade predation, employ various defense strategies. Soil-dwelling Pseudomonas fluorescens strains SS101 SBW25 produce cyclic lipopeptide surfactants (CLPs) massetolide viscosin, respectively, quorum-sensing-independent manner. In...

Nostocsp. strain ATCC 29133 (PCC 73102; Nostoc29133) is a symbiotically-competent, facultatively heterotrophic, diazotrophic cyanobacterium with the capacity to differentiate specialized cells such as heterocysts, akinetes and hormogonial filaments. We have optimized several methods for physiological molecular genetic analysis of Nostoc29133. By use Tn5derivative, Tn5-1063 (KmrBmrSmr), delivered by conjugation from Escherichia coli, antibiotic-resistant mutants Nostoc29133 were generated at...

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Nitrogen (RNS) have been proposed as universal signaling molecules in plant stress responses. There are a growing number of studies suggesting that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) or Sulfur (RSS) also involved abiotic well biotic However, it is still matter debate to how plants utilize those RSS their cascades. Here, we demonstrate d-cysteine novel candidate for bridging our gap understanding. In the genus tiny water-floating fern Azolla, rapid root abscission occurs...

Transposon-generated mutant strain UCD 328 of Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 has a phenotype an increased sensitivity to hormogonium-inducing factor exuded by symbiotic plant partner, Anthoceros punctatus, and initial hormogonium-dependent infection the plant. Sequence analysis showed that transposition site in lies within 1,251-bp open reading frame (ORF), designated hrmA, displays no significant similarity known database sequences. A second, 837-bp ORF (hrmU) ends 2 bp 5′ from start hrmA...

Endolithic microbial communities survive nutrient and energy deficient conditions while contributing to the weathering of their mineral substrate. This study examined composition fully serpentinized weathered rock from 0.1 6.5 m depth at a site within Khalilovsky massif, Orenburg Region, Southern Ural Mountains, Russia. The includes major content serpentinite family (mostly consisting lizardite chrysotile), magnesium hydrocarbonates (hydromagnesite with lesser amounts hydrotalcite...

Strain UCD 311 is a transposon-induced mutant of Nostoc sp. strain ATC C 29133 that unable to fix nitrogen in air but does so under anoxic conditions and able establish functional symbiotic association with the hornwort Anthoceros punctatus. These properties are consistent previous observations protection against oxygen inactivation nitrogenase physiologically provided within A. punctatus tissue. Upon deprivation combined nitrogen, clearly differentiates heterocysts contains typical...

Mass cadmium (Cd) poisoning is a serious health problem in many parts of the world. We propose that dietary intervention can be practical solution to this problem. This study aimed identify effective products from traditional Chinese herbs detoxify Cd. Five candidate herbal foods with detoxifying potential were selected and subjected mouse toxicological tests. The chemical composition dose-response effects licorice on hepatocytes determined. Licorice was for further tests examine its growth,...

Hans Selye’s stress concept, first introduced in the 1930s, has undergone substantial evolution, extending beyond biology and medicine to influence diverse academic dis-ciplines. Initially, General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) described nonspecific physiological responses stressors exclusively mammals, without addressing other biological systems. Consequently, concept of developed independently bi-ology medicine, shaped by distinct contexts. This review provides a historical overview research,...

ABSTRACT Previously, the zoosporicidal activity and control of Pythium root rot flower bulbs by Pseudomonas fluorescens SS101 was attributed, in part, to production cyclic lipopeptide surfactant massetolide A. The capacity strain its surfactant-deficient massA mutant 10.24 suppress populations infection complex spp. communities resident orchard soils assessed on apple wheat seedlings rootstocks. Both strains initially became established soil persisted rhizosphere at similar population...
