ABSTRACT Ethylene markedly induces an increase in the mRNA level of 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate (ACC) oxidase, the final step of its biosynthetic pathway, in mung bean roots. To investigate the second messengers that possibly participate in ethylene signalling various pharmacological reagents known to affect the cytosolic calcium level and phosphoinositide (PI) metabolism were applied to mung bean roots, and then the induction pattern of ACC oxidase ( VR‐ACO1 ) by ethylene was monitored as

The Young's modulus and fracture strength of Si(1-x)Ge(x) nanowires (NWs) as a function of Ge concentration were measured from tensile stress measurements. The Young's modulus of the NWs decreased linearly with increasing Ge content. No evidence was found for a linear relationship between the fracture strength of the NWs and Ge content, which is closely related to the quantity of interstitial Ge atoms contained in the wire. However, by removing some of the interstitial Ge atoms through rapid the

The present work indicates that phosphorylation of a 50 kDa soluble protein is involved in the gravitropic response in graviresponsive pulvini of oat (Avena sativa) stems. This 50 kDa protein shows a differential pattern of phosphorylation between lower and upper halves of pulvini both in vivo and in vitro. The differential phosphorylation of this protein is detected only when stem segments are gravistimulated for short and long time periods. The differential phosphorylation of the 50 kDa protei

AIM: Central obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus have been related individually to cognitive dysfunction. We aimed to study the interactive effects of these co-occurring risk factors on cognitive decline, which remain unclear in older patients with diabetes. METHODS: We assessed metabolic profiles and neuropsychological functions in 60 older out-patients with Type 2 diabetes to examine the associations of central obesity with cognitive functions, while controlling for other confounding f

The preferred oriented texture Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) thin film was prepared on SiO2∕Si(001) and TiN(60nm)∕Si(001) substrates. With the modulated layers of each constituent materials, the stoichiometry of thin film was controlled. Through cross section transmission electron microscope analysis and the x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement at different temperatures, the evolutions of as-grown multilayer from amorphous to textured crystalline state were studied. Highly preferred orientation to ⟨00l⟩ direct

The objective of this study was to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting the tensile strength of friction stir welding (FSW) joints between dissimilar materials, with a particular focus on aluminum and copper, using cryogenic processes. The research addresses the challenges posed by differences in material properties and the complex nature of FSW, where traditional experimental methods are time-consuming and costly. FSW experiments were conducted under a variety of cond

Thermal runaway (TR) in lithium-ion batteries presents a significant safety hazard for electric vehicles (EVs), often resulting in fire or explosion. Mitigating TR requires thermal-protection strategies capable of delaying or suppressing heat propagation within battery pack cases (BPCs). This study proposes a flame-retardant BPC design and evaluates its effectiveness through a combined approach using CFD-based thermal analysis and multiscale experimental validation. In the CFD model, a heat-sour

Friction stir welding is a solid-state welding technique that softens and joins materials using frictional heat generated at the interface between the rotating tool and the workpiece. This frictional heat is influenced by various parameters, such as tool geometry, rotational speed, transverse speed, and plunge depth. To optimize weld quality, it is essential to study the relationship between frictional heat and welding process parameters. Conventional methods, such as measuring the workpiece tem

The structural safety of lithium-ion battery systems in electric vehicles (EVs) has become increasingly important with growing concerns over battery-related accidents. In particular, external impacts on the battery pack case (BPC) can cause cell deformation or short-circuiting, potentially leading to thermal runaway. In this study, the mechanical integrity of a commercial BPC was evaluated using both drop-weight impact tests and finite element method (FEM) simulations. A 10 kg hemispherical or c

Friction stir welding (FSW), a solid-state welding process, is widely used in industries such as automotive and aerospace. Weld quality in FSW is primarily influenced by the frictional heat generated during the process. To more accurately capture this heat, this study measured the temperature of the rotating welding tool. Since the tool rotates during welding, a wireless measurement device was developed for real-time data acquisition. Al6061-T6 was used as the base material, and key features ext
