Pulmonary exposure to cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) can occur either at the workplace, or due to their release in the environment.Inhaled CeO2 NPs are known to cross the alveolar−capillary barrier and reach various parts of the body, including the vasculature.The anticancer drug cisplatin (CP) causes vascular damage.However, the effec
Near Crack Line Elastic-Plastic Field for Mode I Cracks under Plane Stress Condition in Rectangular Coordinates
By using the crack line analysis method, this paper carries out an elastic-plastic analysis for mode I cracks under plane stress condition in an elastic Other Batteries perfectly plastic solid and obtains the general form of matching equations of the elastic stress field and the plastic stress field near the crack line in rectangular coordinate for
Genome-wide analysis of the Dof transcription factor gene family reveals soybean-specific duplicable and functional characteristics.
The Dof domain protein family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family involved in holder a variety of biological processes.There is great diversity in the number of Dof genes in different plants.However, there are only very limited reports on the characterization of Dof transcription factors in soybean (Glycine max).In t

Fine Mapping of qWCR4, a Rice Chalkiness QTL Affecting Yield and Quality
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) chalkiness greatly reduces the rice quality and the commercial value.In this study, qWCR4, a previously reported quantitative trait locus (QTL) of Control white-core rate (WCR), was confirmed by a BC5F2 segregation population and further fine mapped to a 35.26 kb region.In the qWCR4 region, LOC_Os04g50060 and LOC_Os04g50070 s
