Recently, there has been a growing interest in utilizing surface texture to enhance the tribological properties of sliding components.Particularly noteworthy is the application of tool vibration at ultrasonic frequencies for efficiently generating surface textures.This study focuses on generating surface texture on the end surface of a stainless st
Characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana Coq9 in the CoQ Biosynthetic Pathway
Coenzyme Q, also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble isoprene quinone that serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes across all domains of life.However, the biosynthetic pathway for this important molecule Accessories in plants has been examined in only a limited number of studies.In yeast and mammals, Coq9, an isoprenoid-lipid-binding protein, i
Interhemispheric auditory connectivity requires normal access to sound in both ears during development
Figurines Despite early bilateral cochlear implantation, children with congenital deafness do not develop accurate spatial hearing; we thus asked whether auditory brain networks are disrupted in these children.EEG responses were evoked unilaterally and bilaterally in 13 children with normal hearing and 16 children receiving bilateral cochlear impla
Climate change reshapes plant trait spectrum to explain biomass dynamics in an old-growth subtropical forest
Climate change leads to novel species interactions and continues to reshuffle ecological communities, which significantly declines carbon accumulation rates in mature forests.Still, little is known about the potential influence of multiple global change factors on long-term biomass dynamics and functional trait combinations.We used temporal demogra
