Characterization of AQP gene expressions in Brassica napus during seed germination and in response to abiotic stresses

Water transport across the cell membranes is regulated largely by a family of proteins known as aquaporins (AQPs).Plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) is an important subfamily of plant AQPs 5 Ball Roller localized on the plasma membrane.To investigate the molecular mechanism of water regulation in seed germination, seven genes encoding PIP were

Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among residents of Northern California jails

Carceral facilities are high-risk settings for COVID-19 transmission.Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among incarcerated individuals are poorly understood, especially among jail residents.Here, we conducted a retrospective review of electronic health record (EHR) data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in custody and additi

Immersion freezing by natural dust based on a soccer ball model with the Community Atmospheric Model version 5: climate effects

We introduce a simplified version of the soccer ball model (SBM) developed by Niedermeier et al (2014 Geophys.Res.Lett.http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 41 http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/2013GL058684 ) into the Community Atmospheric Model version 5 (CAM5).It is the first time that SBM is used in an atmospheric model to parameterize the heterogeneou
