1) The document examines the spatial and temporal expression of a citrate permease gene (PvMATE) and aluminum-induced citrate exudation in common bean roots.
2) Results show that PvMATE is strongly expressed at the root tip, correlating with high citrate exudation in this region. Citrate exudation also remains substantial in the elongation zone.
3) Aluminum treatment induces expression of the STOP1 transcription factor before enhanced expression of PvMATE, indicating STOP1 regulates PvMATE. Citrate exudation follows a cascade of events involving Al signal reception, STOP1 activation, and PvMATE expression to maintain root growth under aluminum
The document outlines a pilot launch plan for Actos that involves direct-to-consumer television advertising, direct mail, and internet marketing. Prospects will receive fulfillment kits containing either a $5 rebate offer or book, with some receiving a promotional cell phone code. Respondents will be divided into test and control groups for analysis. The goal is to distribute over 250,000 fulfillment kits and letters to drive prescription fulfillment. Program codes will track performance across various response channels and target audiences.
The document discusses residential electricity rates in California that have become unsustainable without reform. A chart shows that tier 5 residential rates have increased from $13.20 per kWh in 1990 to over $54.00 per kWh currently, far exceeding the $30 cost of providing the service. The CPUC initiated reforms in 2007 to address the rate revolt occurring in the Central Valley, but current rates are still not affordable for many residents.
This document provides a plan for the HURA SITE development project. It includes a longitudinal section showing elevation changes across the site, with the school at the highest point. The site plan divides the area into six zones - A for parking, B-D for low and medium rise housing, E for administrative uses, and F for more housing. A table then provides details on each plot's orientation, intended uses, housing typology, population, heights, green space percentages, surfaces, and total area.
This document investigates the effect of cementite particles on microstructure refinement and formation of high angle boundaries in low carbon steel. Warm deformation tests were conducted on a 0.16C steel and an ultra-low carbon steel up to a strain of 5 at 685°C and 0.1 s-1 strain rate. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis showed that cementite precipitation and ferrite recrystallization led to the formation of high angle boundaries and grain refinement during subcritical deformation. Flow stress was higher for the 0.16C steel due to cementite particles anchoring grain boundaries.
The Global Financial Network (GFN) is a resilient, reliable low-latency network serving the financial community across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Built on 24,000 km of fiber optic cable, it connects over 60 global exchanges and entry points. GFN offers dedicated connections, fast installation within 5 days or 1 month free, and was designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of financial firms.
This document provides supplementary information to support a study on geometrically-locked vortex lattices in semiconductor quantum fluids. Figure S1 shows experimental data on the condensation phase transition that occurs in the quantum fluid above 10 mW of pumping power. Figure S2 demonstrates the conditions needed to observe stable interference between condensates from two pump spots, including the requirement that they have the same energy level. Figure S3 simulates the hexagonal lattice wavefunction that arises from the interference pattern. Figure S4 shows simulations of ordered square lattices that can form from interference between four plane waves.
Ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) operate differently than traditional hospitals with less physical space and an ability to schedule cases with short notice. This requires optimized ordering without large buffer stocks due to financial constraints. The bullwhip effect, where variations in demand are amplified up the supply chain, can negatively impact ASCs if not addressed. Poor coordination in the food industry supply chain has wasted $30 billion annually.

This document describes a method for rapidly deglycosylating proteins using Endo H immobilized on magnetic beads. Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification that can affect protein function and analysis. Traditional deglycosylation methods are time-consuming and require cleanup steps before mass spectrometry analysis. The authors demonstrate that Endo H immobilized on magnetic beads can efficiently remove glycans from proteins, and the beads can then be removed, allowing both intact protein and glycan analysis from the same sample by mass spectrometry without further cleanup steps. They show the method works to deglycosylate the protein YCT721 and detect the removed glycan. Compared to free Endo H, the magnetic bead-

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Main news related to the CCS TSI 2023 (2023/1695)Jakub Marek
An English 🇬🇧 translation of a presentation to the speech I gave about the main changes brought by CCS TSI 2023 at the biggest Czech conference on Communications and signalling systems on Railways, which was held in Clarion Hotel Olomouc from 7th to 9th November 2023 (konferenceszt.cz). Attended by around 500 participants and 200 on-line followers.
The original Czech 🇨🇿 version of the presentation can be found here: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/hlavni-novinky-souvisejici-s-ccs-tsi-2023-2023-1695/269688092 .

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Introduction
Aluminium (Al) toxicity is one of the major limiting factors for plant growth in acid soils especially in the tropics where common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is
produced. Al resistance in common bean is conferred by citrate exudation which detoxifies Al in the root apoplast. Citrate exudation starts after a considerable
lag period subsequent to Al treatment indicating that the activation of resistance mechanism involves Al-induced gene expression (Rangel et al., 2010). We
identified a putative citrate permease gene PvMATE (Phaseolus vulgaris Multidrug and Toxin Extrusion) which is highly up regulated by Al treatment (Eticha et
al., 2010). Here, the spatial and temporal expression of PvMATE in the root tip in relation to citrate exudation is presented.
Materials and methods
Two contrasting common bean genotypes, Quimbaya (Al-resistant) and VAX 1 (Al-sensitive) were used to study gene expression as well as citrate exudation of
the different apical root zones.
Results
Root growth of both genotypes is equally inhibited in short-term Al treatment PvMATE is strongly expressed at the root tip compared to the elongation zone. This
1 2 correlates with the high citrate exudation at the root apex. Citrate exudation in the
but genotypic difference is observed in medium- and long-term treatment.
elongation zone is still substantially high indicating that in common bean, not only
the transition but also the elongation zone must be protected.

Conclusion
In common bean, citrate exudation involves a cascade of events which include the reception of an Al
signal, activation of the STOP1 transcription factor, enhancement of citrate permease (pvMATE) gene
expression and subsequent citrate exudation resulting in the maintenance of root growth under Al stress.
