TL;DR: In this article, the performance of near infrared spectroscopy as a simple technique for the non-destructive determination of carbohydrate content in potatoes was examined using partial least square (PLS) regression.
Abstract: The performance of near infrared spectroscopy as a simple technique for the non-destructive determination of carbohydrate content in potatoes was examined. An interactance method was adopted to measure near infrared spectra (700–1100 nm). A good calibration model with reasonable accuracy (correlation coefficient of 0.93 and standard error of prediction of 0.98%) was developed using partial least square (PLS) regression. The PLS calibration model utilised effectively two characteristic absorption bands of 990 nm and 916 nm, assigned to potato starch. The plots of the regression coefficients were thought to be useful for understanding the calibration model structure.

TL;DR: It is suggested that sucrose contributes to root formation by serving as the energy source, the carbon source for cell wall synthesis, and as a compatible solute for cell elongation.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to elucidate the roles of sugar in the formation of root systems. Several parts of theseminal root were investigated to determine their sucrose, glucose and fructose...

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic elliptic-vibration shoe is used to support a pin-shaped workpiece and control the workpiece rotational motion instead of using a regulating wheel such as that employed in conventional centerless grinding.

TL;DR: The data suggest that Npas4 and Lcn2 are involved in the brain atrophy and stress vulnerability of SAMP10 mice, which are prevented by the consumption of theanine, causing changes in the expression of these genes.
Abstract: Chronic stress can impair the health of human brains. An important strategy that may prevent the accumulation of stress may be the consumption of functional foods. When senescence-accelerated mice prone 10 (SAMP10), a stress-sensitive strain, were loaded with stress using imposed male mouse territoriality, brain volume decreased. However, in mice that ingested theanine (6 mg/kg), the main amino acid in tea leaves, brain atrophy was suppressed, even under stress. On the other hand, brain atrophy was not clearly observed in a mouse strain that aged normally (Slc:ddY). The expression level of the transcription factor Npas4 (neuronal PAS domain protein 4), which regulates the formation and maintenance of inhibitory synapses in response to excitatory synaptic activity, decreased in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of stressed SAMP10 mice, but increased in mice that ingested theanine. Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), the expression of which increased in response to stress, was significantly high in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of stressed SAMP10 mice, but not in mice that ingested theanine. These data suggest that Npas4 and Lcn2 are involved in the brain atrophy and stress vulnerability of SAMP10 mice, which are prevented by the consumption of theanine, causing changes in the expression of these genes.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that superheavy and highly energetic charged particles produced by the collision near maximally charged black holes can escape to infinity at least within classical theory if the backreaction and self-force of the particle can be neglected.
Abstract: For particle collision near rapidly rotating Kerr black holes, the center-of-mass energy can be arbitrarily high if the angular momentum of either of the colliding particles is fine-tuned. Recently, it has been shown that particles which are produced by such a particle collision and escape to infinity cannot be very massive nor very energetic. For electrically charged black holes there is a similar phenomenon, where the center-of-mass energy for the collision of charged particles near the horizon can be arbitrarily high. One might expect that there would exist a similar bound on the energy and mass of particles that are produced by such a particle collision and escape to infinity. In this paper, however, we see that this expectation is not the case. We explicitly show that superheavy and highly energetic charged particles produced by the collision near maximally charged black holes can escape to infinity at least within classical theory if the backreaction and self-force of the particle can be neglected.
