Recycling of waste concrete has become an important issue worldwide due to the continued
increase of construction wastes. Also, the growing global construction activities urge to find …

The combination of biodegradable metals and additive manufacturing (AM) leads to a
revolutionary change of metal implants in many aspects including materials, design, manufacturing…

MCScan is an algorithm able to scan multiple genomes or subgenomes in order to identify
putative homologous chromosomal regions, and align these regions using genes as anchors. …

We report the annotation and analysis of the draft genome sequence of Brassica rapa accession
Chiifu-401-42, a Chinese cabbage. We modeled 41,174 protein coding genes in the B. …

Graphene can be viewed as an individual atomic plane extracted from graphite, as unrolled
single-walled carbon nanotube or as an extended flat fullerene molecule. In this paper, a …

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) was formed ~7500 years ago by hybridization between B.
rapa and B. oleracea, followed by chromosome doubling, a process known as allopolyploidy…

Although several plant microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a role in plant
development, no phenotype has yet been associated with a reduction or loss of expression of any …

Polyploidy often confers emergent properties, such as the higher fibre productivity and quality
of tetraploid cottons than diploid cottons bred for the same environments 1 . Here we show …

Polyploidization has provided much genetic variation for plant adaptive evolution, but the
mechanisms by which the molecular evolution of polyploid genomes establishes genetic …

Near‐infrared (NIR)‐to‐visible up‐conversion fluorescent nanoparticles have potential to be
used for photodynamic therapy (PDT) in deep tissue because NIR light can penetrate thick …
