Abstract Background Antirrhinum (snapdragon) species are models for genetic and evolutionary research but recalcitrant to genetic transformation, limiting use of transgenic methods for functional genomics.Transient gene expression from viral vectors and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) offer transformation-free alternatives.Here we investigate t
The role of glucocorticoids on adipose conversion has been studied using confluent Ob1771 mouse preadipose cells maintained in a serum-free culture medium able to support the emergence of early but not that of late markers of differentiation.Under these culture conditions, glucocorticoids play, at physiological concentrations, a permissive role for
This paper presents a data-driven virtual inertia control method for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine Western Breastplates to provide inertia support in the presence of frequency events.The Markov parameters of the system are first obtained by monitoring the grid frequency and system operation state.Then, a data-driven state
The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the efficacy of in-home telerehabilitation for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).Three community-living elders with COPD were recruited in a rehabilitation outpatient group and by direct referrals from pneumologists with outpatients who have COPD.A pre/post-test design Long S
