A comprehensive knowledge of proteomic states is essential for understanding biological systems. Using mass spectrometry, we mapped an atlas developing maize seed proteotypes comprising 14,165 proteins and 18,405 phosphopeptides (from 4,511 proteins), quantified across eight tissues. We found that many the most abundant are not associated with detectable levels their mRNAs, provide evidence three potential explanations: transport between tissues; diurnal, out-of-phase accumulation mRNAs...

Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. The highest rates of treatment failure occur specific genetic subsets ALL, including hypodiploid B-cell ALL (B-ALL), for which effective alternative therapies to current intensive chemotherapy treatments have yet be developed. Here, we integrated biochemical and genomic profiling with functional drug assays select agents therapeutic potential against B-ALL. ABT-199, a selective Bcl-2 inhibitor, was reducing...

Hemagglutinins (HA's) from duck, swine, and human influenza viruses have previously been shown to prefer avian glycan receptor analogues with distinct topological profiles, pentasaccharides LSTa (α-2,3 linkage) LSTc (α-2,6 linkage), in comparative molecular dynamics studies. On the basis of detailed analyses dynamic motions binding domains (RBDs) interaction energy profiles individual residues, we identified ∼30 residue positions RBD that present analogues. Glycan constrained conformational...

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems are experiencing a period of rapid growth as potential for industrial and commercial applications arising. Conventional UAV technologies focus on outdoor large area navigation, utilising global positioning system, which has proven to be less effective in enclosed environments. The authors aim develop an indoor navigation specifically require custom sensing aid pilot navigation. A array, featuring ultrasonic transceivers, was developed localise drone...

Background: Blood volume assessment is a valuable clinical metric, which can diagnostically be used to assess tissue health, monitor patient rehabilitation, and track the progression of wound healing. Currently there exists several methods flow (MRI, US), but are either limited in cost or portability, may require injection contrast agents. Magnetohydrodynamic voltages (VMHD) induced through blood interactions with an external magnetic field, have been successfully measured using modified ECG...

Higher risk patient populations require continuous physiological monitoring and, in some cases, connected life-support systems, during magnetic resonance imaging examinations. While recently there has been a shift toward wireless technology, of the devices are still to outside using cabling that could interfere with imaging’s radio frequency scanning, resulting excessive heating. We developed passive method for suppression on may assist making these compatible. A barrel-shaped strongly...

"Sustainable futures: propelling innovative ecosystems" was the theme intended for Ninth Annual National Academy of Inventors Meeting. With meeting cancelled, content conference is being distributed online and in print format. Indeed, rather than shifting conference's theme, COVID-19 pandemic has required us to examine ecosystems a new context that likely would not have been fully explored otherwise. Makerspaces, an important part innovation ecosystem, rose alongside maker movement as...

Blood flow in a clinical metric with variety of uses, namely, the diagnosing and longitudinal monitoring patients or at risk cardiovascular disease. Currently, blood is able to be quantified through techniques including Doppler ultrasound (DUS), computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The majority these methods require an expensive, immobile device (MRI CT) skilled technician operate (DUS, MRI, CT), thus are accessible very few need technology.One diseases mainly...

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly utilized for patient monitoring during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) despite known magnetohydrodynamic voltage (VMHD) overlays, which often eclipse the true sinus rhythm and render signal to be non-diagnostic. This can complicate MRI gating at-risk monitoring, causing alternative low-fidelity signals become preferred. We aimed develop a method of isolating from VMHD in order enable use high-fidelity ECGs procedures. Twelve-lead were acquired two...

Patients are often made weightbearing as tolerated (WBAT) in a controlled ankle motion (CAM) boot for the management of various foot and conditions. The CAM causes leg length discrepancy (LLD) between booted (longer) contralateral (shorter) lower extremities. This can potentially cause balance problems, undue strain on joints, discomfort patients. We hypothesized that length-evening orthotic placed plantar aspect shoe improves among patients who WBAT boot.Patients were randomized to either...
