Abstract Gibberellic acid controlled the key developmental processes of the life cycle of landing plants, and regulated the growth and development of plants. In this study, a novel gibberellin receptor gene EuGID1 was obtained from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver. The cDNA of EuGID1 was 1556 bp, and the open reading frame was 1029 bp, which encoded 343 amino acids. EuGID1 had the homology sequence with the hormone-sensitive lipase family. Amino acid sequence alignment confirmed EuGID1 protein had the highest homology with the GID1 protein of Manihot esculenta. EuGID1 was located in the nucleus and cell membrane and had expression in four plant organs. Overexpression… More >

Abstract Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are not suitable for rough terrains that are difficult or impossible to access by humans. Smart dust is a technology that works with the combination of many tiny sensors which is highly useful for obtaining remote sensing information from rough terrains. The tiny sensors are sprinkled in large numbers on rough terrains using airborne distribution through drones or aircraft without manually setting their locations. Although it is clear that a number of remote sensing applications can benefit from this technology, but the small size of smart dust fundamentally restricts the integration of advanced hardware on… More >

Abstract IEEE802.11, known as WiFi has proliferated in the last decade. It can be found in smartphones, laptops, smart TVs and surveillance cameras. This popularity has revealed many issues in health, data privacy and security. In this work, a WiFi measurement study has been conducted in Amman, the capital city of Jordan. An Android App has been written to harvest WiFi information of the transmitted frames of any surrounding Access points (APs). More than 240,000 APs information has been harvested in this work. The harvested data have been analyzed to find statistics of WiFi devices in this city. Moreover, three power… More >

Abstract Brain tumors are considered as most fatal cancers. To reduce the risk of death, early identification of the disease is required. One of the best available methods to evaluate brain tumors is Magnetic resonance Images (MRI). Brain tumor detection and segmentation are tough as brain tumors may vary in size, shape, and location. That makes manual detection of brain tumors by exploring MRI a tedious job for radiologists and doctors’. So an automated brain tumor detection and segmentation is required. This work suggests a Region-based Convolution Neural Network (RCNN) approach for automated brain tumor identification and segmentation using MR images,… More >

Abstract In underground operation, primary consideration is safety. In recent decades, for minimizing accident and for preventing major economic losses and casualties, wireless sensors are used by various large mineral countries through early warning. The Improved DV-Hop Localization Algorithm (IDVHLA) is used in existing works for doing this. However, accurate anchor node detection is impossible in existing works with the malicious nodes presence, where there won't be any accurate sharing of anchor node's location information. In case of emergency situation, faster communication is a highly complex one. A technique called Modified Distance Vector Hop based Multipath Routing Protocol (MDVHMRP) is introduced… More >

Abstract Wireless sensor networks comprise a set of autonomous sensor nodes, commonly used for data gathering and tracking applications. Node localization and intrusion detection are considered as the major design issue in WSN. Therefore, this paper presents a new multi-objective manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) based node localization with intrusion detection (MOMRFO-NLID) technique for WSN. The goal of the MOMRFO-NLID technique is to optimally localize the unknown nodes and determine the existence of intrusions in the network. The MOMRFO-NLID technique encompasses two major stages namely MRFO based localization of nodes and optimal Siamese Neural Network (OSNN) based intrusion detection. The OSNN… More >

Abstract In existing methods for segmented images, either edge point extraction or preservation of edges, compromising contrast images is so sensitive to noise. The Degeneration Threshold Image Detection (DTID) framework has been proposed to improve the contrast of edge filtered images. Initially, DTID uses a Rapid Bilateral Filtering process for filtering edges of contrast images. This filter decomposes input images into base layers in the DTID framework. With minimal filtering time, Rapid Bilateral Filtering handles high dynamic contrast images for smoothening edge preservation. In the DTID framework, Rapid Bilateral Filtering with Shift-Invariant Base Pass Domain Filter is insensitive to noise. This… More >

Abstract Major fields such as military applications, medical fields, weather forecasting, and environmental applications use wireless sensor networks for major computing processes. Sensors play a vital role in emerging technologies of the 20th century. Localization of sensors in needed locations is a very serious problem. The environment is home to every living being in the world. The growth of industries after the industrial revolution increased pollution across the environment. Owing to recent uncontrolled growth and development, sensors to measure pollution levels across industries and surroundings are needed. An interesting and challenging task is choosing the place to fit the sensors. Many… More >

Abstract The effectiveness of mobile robot aided for architectural construction depends strongly on its accurate localization ability. Localization of mobile robot is increasingly important for the printing of buildings in the construction scene. Although many available studies on the localization have been conducted, only a few studies have addressed the more challenging problem of localization for mobile robot in large-scale ongoing and featureless scenes. To realize the accurate localization of mobile robot in designated stations, we build an artificial landmark map and propose a novel nonlinear optimization algorithm based on graphs to reduce the uncertainty of the whole map. Then, the… More >

Abstract CDK5 belongs to the cyclin-dependent kinase family. CDK5 is multifunctional and plays an important role in neural differentiation. However, the role of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation remains unclear. The present study investigated functions and molecular mechanism of CDK5 in osteoblastic differentiation. It was found that, CDK5 inhibition promoted the expression of Runx2, ALP, OCN and OPN of MSCs and the mineralization of MC-3T3E1 cells and MSCs. CDK5 inhibition enhanced the development of F-actin, nuclear localization of β-catenin and YAP, as well as the expression of RMRP RNA. When F-actin was suppressed by Blebbistatin, the nuclear localization of YAP and β-catenin,… More >
