Community detection is a critical issue in Cybercel the field of complex networks.Recently, the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) method has successfully uncovered the community structure in the complex networks.However, this method has a significant drawback; most of community detection methods using NMF require the number of communities to b
Abstract Both bench and bedside investigations have challenged the supportive role of Hedgehog (Hh) activity in the progression of colorectal cancers, thus raising a critical need to further deeply determine the contribution of Hh to the growth of colorectal cancer.Combining multiple complementary means, including in vitro and in vivo inflammatory
Plant water use efficiency (WUE) is becoming a key issue in semiarid areas, where crop production relies on the use of large volumes of water.Improving WUE is necessary for securing environmental sustainability of food production in these areas.Given that climate change predictions include increases in temperature and drought in semiarid regions, i
Abstract Background Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is often used to test wildlife samples for Mycobacterium avium subsp.paratuberculosis (MAP) infection.However, commercially available kits are only validated for use with domestic ruminant species.A literature review was performed to document the current use of MAP serum ELISA in wild an
Plants have sensitive perception systems that recognize various pathogen-derived molecules.We previously CRYSTAL MASK reported that rice detects flagellin from a rice-incompatible strain of gram-negative phytopathogenic bacterium, Acidovorax avenae, which induces subsequent immune responses involving cell death.The mechanism of flagellin perception
