We are presenting our recent research results about the Ni-NiO nanoparticles on poly-(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)-modified graphene sheet (Ni-NiO/PDDA-G) nanocomposites prepared by hydrothermal method at 90°C for 24 h. The PDDA-modified sheets measured transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and selected area diffraction (SAED) pattern exploring structural evidence to apply in electrochemical catalysts. size of is around 5 nm based TEM...
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was blended with polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) at various ratios and made into membranes. The hemocompatibility of the resulting membranes evaluated based on human plasma proteins adsorption, platelet adhesion, thrombus formation, blood coagulation time. PAN/PVDF blends exhibited partial miscibility according to inward shifting their two glass transition temperatures. microstructures blend examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) indicated that roughness...
In this research, graphene nanosheets were functionalized with cationic poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) and citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) bio-detection application. AuNPs synthesized by the traditional citrate thermal reduction method then adsorbed onto graphene-PDDA nanohybrid sheets electrostatic interaction. The nanohybrids subject to characterization including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy...
Abstract Introduction The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased dramatically in recent decades, and there are increasing indications that dementia is related to T2D. Previous attempts analyze such relationships principally relied on traditional multiple linear regression (MLR). However, recently developed machine learning methods (Mach-L) outperform MLR capturing non-linear relationships. present study applied four different Mach-L the between risk factors cognitive function...
Multi-copy gene systems that evolve within, as well between, individuals are common. They include viruses, mitochondrial DNAs, multi-gene families etc. The paradox is neutral evolution in two stages should be far slower than single-copy but the opposite often true, thus leading to suggestion of natural selection. We now apply new Generalized Haldane (GH) model quantify genetic drift mammalian ribosomal RNA genes (or rDNAs). On average, rDNAs have C ∼ 150 - 300 copies. A mutation rDNA take 4...
Population genetic models, such as the Wright-Fisher (WF) model, track relative gene frequencies. The absolute copy number, or population size ( N ), is supplied externally for tracking drift. JBS Haldane (1927) proposed an alternative model based on branching process, whereby each transmitted to K descendants with mean and variance of E ) V ). In this governs , while )/ Nevertheless, process allows drift unboundedly, a Generalized (GH) that regulates more tightly proposed. GH can account...
The steroid hormone ecdysone and its receptor (EcR) play critical roles in orchestrating developmental transitions arthropods. However, the mechanism by which EcR integrates nutritional cues to correctly activate transcription remains poorly understood. Here, we show that EcR-dependent transcription, thus, timing Drosophila, is regulated CDK8 regulatory partner Cyclin C (CycC), level of affected nutrient availability. We observed cdk8 cycC mutants resemble EcR-target genes are systematically...
Carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) is a reliable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different machine learning methods and traditional multiple logistic regression predicting c-IMT using baseline features establish most significant factors T2D cohort. We followed up with 924 patients four years, 75% participants used model development. Machine methods, including classification tree, random...
Abstract Callus induction is a dedifferentiation process that accompanies cell fate transition, and epigenetic regulation plays crucial role in the process. N 6 ‐methyladenosine (m6A) methylation an important mechanism post‐transcriptional functions reprogramming. However, function of m6A during callus still unknown. Here, we performed transcriptome‐wide m6A‐seq on immature maize embryos after culturing for 2, 4, or 8 days with without auxin analogue 2,4‐D. A total 26,794 unique peaks were...
The urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) is a warning for the deterioration of renal function in type 2 diabetes (T2D). early detection ACR has become an important issue. Multiple linear regression (MLR) traditionally been used to explore relationships between risk factors and endpoints. Recently, machine learning (ML) methods have widely applied medicine. In present study, four ML were predict uACR T2D cohort. We hypothesized that (1) outperforms traditional MLR (2) different ranks...
Five novel yeast species belonging to the Kodamaea clade are proposed in this paper based on nine strains isolated from mushrooms and soil Taiwan between 2007 2008. These were found represent five their D1/D2 domain sequences of large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene physiological characteristics. Sequence analysis LSU revealed that phylogenetically related Candida sp. clustered into phylogenetic tree. All reproduced asexually, no ascospores could be found. Therefore, scientific names alishanica...
Abstract Background To investigate the effectiveness and safety of 3 mg drospirenone 20 μg ethinyl estradiol tablet (3 DRSP/20 EE) in treatment polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods This single center, prospective observational study was conducted 140 patients with PCOS. They were prescribed EE a 24/4/ regimen for months. Patients instructed to take oral DRSP/EE tablets (once daily) on 2nd day menstruation, 28 consecutive days 1 cycle. After months treatment, anthropometric assessments...
