The insertion of an ancestral gene in Nicotiana tabacum plants reduces free radicals during saline irrigation by Claudia Marissa Calderón Torres, Victoria Abril Mancilla Galván, Miguel Murguía Romero

“…The expression of the DhARO4 gene was verified with a salt shock of 100 mM of NaCl for 24 hours in the transgenic and wild type plants in the tap water irrigation group. The DhARO4 gene transcript increased (P < 0.05) in the transgenic plant; meanwhile, the average concentration of chlorophyll a increased (P < 0.05), and the average production of reactive oxygen species decreased (P < 0.05).…”

Research on estimating effective order of radio channel in OFDM systems by LI Guo-song, ZHOU Zheng-ou

“…In wireless communication system based on OFDM,the character of LS algorithm’s result in time-domain was paid much attention to.At the same time,the character of Channel Impulse Response（CIR）in time-domain was taken into account.It was proposed to detect energy of CIR’s tap of LS algorithm’s result in time-domain and search the effective order of radio channel conversely.By theoretical analyses and computer simulation,it is indicated that this method shows good performance in estimating effective order of radio channel.…”

Use of Silica Fume and GGBS to Improve Frost Resistance of ECC with High-Volume Fly Ash by Yushi Liu, Xiaoming Zhou, Chengbo Lv, Yingzi Yang, Tianan Liu

“…Four ECC mixtures, ECC (50% FA), ECC (70% FA), ECC (30% FA + 40% SL), and ECC (65% FA + 5% SF), are evaluated by freezing-thawing cycles up to 200 cycles in tap water and sodium chloride solution. The result shows the relative dynamic elastic modulus and mass loss of ECC in sodium chloride solution by freeze-thaw cycles are larger than those in tap water by freeze-thaw cycles. …”
