In vitro study of macro and micro nutrients decline in MS medium on growth and development levels of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne. by Seyed Mohammad Hosseini Nasr, Marziyeh Valizadeh, Seyed Ali Razavi

“…Acacia tortilis is one of the valuable species growing in the southern regions of Iran, which is highly considerable for a variety of reasons such as stabilization of quicksand, medicinal uses and ecological functions. Low germination capacity of seeds, hard rooting of cuttings, the value of aesthetics and multiple medicinal uses highlight the importance of further research to explore methods for easy and efficient propagation of this species in vitro. …”

Tranexamic acid impairs plasmin generation on human mesenchymal stem cells and derived membrane microvesicles, halting pericellular proteolysis by Ramy Abou Rjeily, Christina Mrad, Fatiha Z. El-Ghazouani, Florence Toti, Audrey Cras, Audrey Cras, Eduardo Angles-Cano

“…Our findings provide the first demonstration that TXA efficiently inhibits MSC-driven plasmin generation by competitively blocking plasminogen binding to the uPA•uPAR complex at the cell plasma membrane.DiscussionWe propose that plasmin formation on MSCs may be involved in pathological processes such as endometrial hemorrhage (metrorrhagia and Post-Partum Hemorrhage), autoimmune and ischaemic diseases, as well as cancer. …”

Predictor Importance for Hydrological Fluxes of Global Hydrological and Land Surface Models by João Paulo L. F. Brêda, Lieke A. Melsen, Ioannis Athanasiadis, Albert VanDijk, Vinícius A. Siqueira, Anne Verhoef, Yijian Zeng, Martine van derPloeg

“…We analyzed the JULES, ORCHIDEE, HTESSEL, SURFEX, and PCR‐GLOBWB models for the relative importance of precipitation, climate, soil, land cover and topographic slope as predictors of simulated average evaporation, runoff, and surface and subsurface runoff. RF models functioned as a metamodel and could reproduce GHM/LSMs outputs with a coefficient of determination (R2) over 0.85 in all cases and often considerably better. …”

Binary composite crossover genetic algorithm for locating critical slip surface by Wei Qin, Jiancheng Zhao

“…A reasonable combination of parameters for the binary composite crossover (BCC) operator in the RGA-BCC is determined through six benchmark function experiments. On this basis, the stability of five soil slopes from the literature was analysed using the RGA-BCC in combination with the Morgenstern and Price method, and the results obtained were compared with those in the published literature to demonstrate that the RGA-BCC is able to efficiently determine the CSSs of slopes and their minimum factors of safety. …”
