Abstract With the proliferation of mobile computing technology, learning (m‐learning) will play a vital role in rapidly growing electronic market. M‐learning is delivery to students anytime and anywhere through use wireless Internet devices. However, acceptance m‐learning by individuals critical successful implementation systems. Thus, there need research factors that affect user intention m‐learning. Based on unified theory technology (UTAUT), which integrates elements across eight models...

Ligand-dependent control of gene expression is essential for functional analysis, target validation, protein production, and metabolic engineering. However, the tools currently available are difficult to transfer between species exhibit limited mechanistic diversity. Here we demonstrate how modular architecture purine riboswitches can be exploited develop orthogonal chimeric switches that transferable across diverse bacterial species, modulating either transcription or translation, provide...

Bee pollen is a nutrient-rich food that meets the nutritional requirements of honey bees and supports human health. This study aimed to provide nutritive composition data for 11 popular bee samples (Brassica napus (Bn), Bidens pilosa var. radiata (Bp), Camellia sinensis (Cs), Fraxinus griffithii (Fg), Prunus mume (Pm), Rhus chinensis roxburghii (Rc), Bombax ceiba (Bc), Hylocereus costaricensis (Hc), Liquidambar formosana (Lf), Nelumbo nucifera (Nn), Zea mays (Zm)) in Taiwan global database....

Abstract Background Incomplete data are of particular important influence in mental measurement questionnaires. Most experts, however, mostly focus on clinical trials and cohort studies generally pay less attention to this deficiency. We aim is compare the accuracy four common methods for handling items missing from different psychology questionnaires according non-response rates. Method All were drawn previous including self-acceptance scale (SAQ), activities daily living (ADL) self-esteem...

Re-engineered riboswitches that no longer respond to cellular metabolites, but instead can be controlled by synthetic molecules, are potentially useful gene regulatory tools for use in biology and biotechnology fields. Previously, extensive genetic selection screening approaches were employed re-engineer a natural adenine riboswitch create orthogonal ON-switches, enabling translational control of target expression response ligands. Here, we describe how rational targeted approach was used...

Abstract This study explores the potential of adult worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) as a sustainable protein source for new fermented sauce using Aspergillus oryzae. Diverging from traditional plant-based condiments, it highlights rich content bees. Through proximate and amino acid analysis, evaluates nutritional impact fermentation, finding levels at 6.88% total nitrogen 1.04%, exceeding standards set by Thai FDA FAO/WHO Codex soy sauce. The fermentation process notably increased...

Aureobasidium melanogenum has been used as an animal feed additive for improving thehealth of pets, however, it not yet applied in honey bees. Here, a fungal strain CK-CsC isolated from bee bread pollen, was identified A. melanogenum. Following characterizing fermentation broth, the 4-days broth (SYM medium or pollen) to newly emerged adult bees cages under laboratory-controlled conditions analysis survival, gene expression nutrient and antibacterial peptide, gut microbiota It found that...

Both the theoretical model and empirical analysis methods are examined for valuing patents from real options perspective. This study not only sets up a approach evaluating patent to conform main sensitivity of activities, but also establishes an method about by panel data. Cross-sectional time-series data 101 Taiwanese electronic firms between 1993 2002 employed fixed effects in model. concludes consist results analysis. That is, value increases with increasing underlying asset, time...

The lipopeptides ramoplanin from Actinoplanes sp. ATCC 33076 and enduracidin produced by Streptomyces fungicidicus are effective antibiotics against a number of drug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. While these two share similar cyclic peptide structure, comprising 17 amino acids with an N-terminal fatty acid side chain, has di-mannose moiety that lacks. mannosyl substituents enhance aqueous solubility, which was important in the development as potential treatment for Clostridium difficile...

Abstract An isolated bacterium TBE-8, was identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides according to the sequences of 16S rDNA and 16S–23S intergenic spacer region. The probiotic properties L. TBE-8 strain were characterized revealed that could utilize various carbohydrates, exhibited high tolerance sucrose’s osmotic pressure acidic conditions, mitigate impact bee pathogen Paenibacillus larvae . In addition, we found broth increased expression nutrition-related genes major royal jelly protein 1...

The maturity of honey has a great impact on its quality and contents. Additionally, stingless bee contains high moisture, which allows microorganisms to survive ferment, contributing honey's variable flavor physicochemical properties. Therefore, there is need for better control the process, especially harvest time honey.We gathered from nest bees Heterotrigona itama Tetrigona binghami over different periods, i.e. 15, 30, 45 days. results show considerably affects properties, antioxidant...

Microsporidiosis, which is caused by the pathogen

This study investigates the impact of bee pollen nutrition on royal jelly production honey bees (Apis mellifera). Results demonstrate that diet significantly impacts hypopharyngeal gland (HPG) development and expression genes associated with biosynthesis. Bees fed Brassica napus exhibited superior HPG development, increased mrjp1 (encoding a key protein). While cyp450 6AS8 gene enzyme in 10-HDA biosynthesis) was by consumption, no distinct patterns were observed among different types tested....

Numerous previous studies have demonstrated that research and development (R&D) investments can be evaluated by a real growth options approach. However, few constructed evaluating models which consider the important R&D characteristics, including uncertainty regarding project value, investment cost, jump diffusion processes. The contribution of this study is not only to derive model for conform these key characteristics activities but also build option pricing method more general...

The authors analyze the impact of equity-based compensation on managerial risk-taking behavior in Chinese listed firms from January 2006 to July 2011. They find that greater incentives lead executives invest more research and development (R&D) projects less capital expenditures. Greater incentive increases firm focus. Managerial have positive effects firms' leverage. Overall, increasing sensitivity chief executive officers' portfolio value stock return volatility helps incentivize work...

ABSTRACT The p143 gene from Autographa californica multinucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus ( Ac MNPV) has been found to increase the expression of luciferase, which is driven by polyhedrin promoter, in a plasmid with virus coinfection. Further study indicated that this due presence replication origin ori ) coding region gene. Transient DNA assays showed specific fragment sequence, -3, underwent virus-dependent Spodoptera frugiperda IPLB-Sf-21 (Sf-21) cells. Deletion analysis -3 subfragment...

Bee pollen has been traditionally used for health promotion. However, the chemical constituents and pharmaceutical effects of bee strongly depend on their sources. This study determined compositions evaluated antioxidant anticancer activity six samples from Taiwan. The Cs sample contained highest amounts carotenoid (417.67 mg/g DW) anthocyanin (10.96 μmol/g while Nn showed content chlorophyll (Chl) a (23.39 Chl b (39.17 DW). flavonoid (11.69 mg QE/g phenolic (42.91 GAE/g were found in Bp Pm...
