The synonyms of biological species names are shown to be an important component in comprehensive searches of electronic scientific literature databases but they are not well leveraged within the major literature databases examined.For accepted or valid species names in the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) which have synonyms in the AE
ZmCom1 Is Required for Both Mitotic and Meiotic Recombination in Maize
CtIP/Ctp1/Sae2/Com1, a highly conserved protein from yeast to higher eukaryotes, is required for DNA double-strand break repair through homologous recombination (HR).In this study, we identified and characterized the COM1 homolog in maize.The ZmCom1 gene is abundantly expressed in reproductive tissues at meiosis stages.In ZmCom1-deficient plants, m

High-speed penetration. Discrete-element simulation and experiments
The paper presents the results of numerical simulation and experimental data on the high-speed penetration of the impactor into the obstacle.In the calculations, a discrete-element model has been used, based on the representation of the impactor and the target by a set of close packed interconnected particles.This class of models finds an increasin
