Biosemiotic entropy involves the deterioration of biological sign systems.The genome is a coded sign system that is connected to phenotypic outputs through the interpretive functions of the tRNA/ribosome machinery.This symbolic sign system (semiosis) at the core Bath Bombs of all biology has been termed “biosemiosis”.Layers of b
The introgression of BjMYB113 from Brassica juncea leads to purple leaf trait in Brassica napus
Abstract The purple leaves of Brassica napus are abundant in anthocyanins, which are renowned for their role in conferring distinct colors, stress tolerance, and health benefits, however the genetic basis of this trait in B.napus remains largely unelucidated.Herein, the purple leaf B.napus (PL) exhibited purple pigments in the upper epidermis and a
Wind Farm Wake: The Horns Rev Photo Case
The aim of the paper is to examine the nowadays well-known wind farm wake photographs taken on 12 February 2008 at the offshore Horns Rev 1 wind farm.The meteorological conditions are described from observations from several satellite sensors quantifying clouds, surface wind vectors and sea surface temperature as well as ground-based information at
Synoptic Causes and Socio-Economic Consequences of a Severe Dust Storm in the Middle East
Dust storms represent one of the most severe, if underrated, natural hazards in drylands.This study uses ground observational data from meteorological stations and airports (SYNOP and Megaphones METARs), satellite observations (MODIS level-3 gridded atmosphere daily products and CALIPSO) and reanalysis data (ERA5) to analyze the synoptic meteorolog
Evidence-Theory-Based Robust Optimization and Its Application in Micro-Electromechanical Systems
The conventional engineering robustness optimization approach considering uncertainties is generally based on a probabilistic model.However, a probabilistic model faces obstacles when handling problems with epistemic uncertainty.This paper presents an evidence-theory-based robustness optimization (EBRO) model and a corresponding algorithm, which pr
