Genome-wide analysis of the Dof transcription factor gene family reveals soybean-specific duplicable and functional characteristics.

The Dof domain protein family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family involved in a variety of biological processes.There is great diversity in the number of Dof genes in different plants.However, there are only very limited reports on the characterization of Dof transcription factors in soybean (Glycine max).In the pres

Value-complexity tradeoff explains mouse navigational learning.

We introduce a novel methodology for describing animal behavior as a tradeoff between value and complexity, using the Morris Water Maze navigation task as a concrete Welding Blanket example.We develop a dynamical system model of the Water Maze navigation task, solve its optimal control under varying complexity constraints, and analyze the learning

E.M.I Effects of Cathodic Protection on Electromagnetic Flowmeters

Electromagnetic flowmeters are used to measure the speed of water flow in water distribution systems.Corrosion problem in jet metal pipelines can be solved by cathodic protection methods.This paper presents a research on corruptive effects of the cathodic protection system on electromagnetic flowmeter depending on its measuring principle.Experiment
