The processing and recognition of electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is the most important part of brain-computer interface (BCI) system, and the quality of signal processing and recognition is directly related to the effectiveness of BCI system.Aiming at the problems of incomplete removal of artifacts and inadequate retention of active components i
Ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in an urban ecosystem near the Atlantic Rainforest
The relationships between an urban ecosystem located near the Atlantic Rainforest in southeastern Brazil and ant communities were studied with the objective of quantifying the ant richness and abundance in the household environment and its surroundings.Eighty residences were sampled, where 58 species and 28 genera pertaining to 7 sub-families were
Bacterial variations on the methionine salvage pathway
Abstract Background The thiomethyl group of S-adenosylmethionine is often recycled as methionine from methylthioadenosine.The corresponding pathway has been unravelled in Bacillus subtilis.However methylthioadenosine is subjected to alternative degradative pathways depending on the organism.Results This work uses genome in silico analysis to propos
Feeding studies on the grape leafhopper
in areas Beanies where natural enemies of the grape leafhopper, Erythroneura elegantula Osb.are absent, or insufficient in numbers, chemical control may be necessary to prevent an increase in leafhoppers from causing serious economic damage.From an economic standpoint, determining the level of infestation allows not only prevention of serious damag
Design of the Crosslinking Reactions for Nucleic Acids-Binding Protein and Evaluation of the Reactivity
Selective chemical reactions of biomolecules are some of the important tools for investigations by biological wand-essentials studies.We have developed the selective crosslinking reactions to form covalent bonds to DNA or RNA using crosslinking oligonucleotides (CFO) bearing reactive bases.In this study, we designed the cross-linkable 4-amino-6-oxo
