The impact that IoT technologies have on our everyday life is indisputable.Wearables, smart appliances, lighting, security controls, and others make our life simpler and more comfortable.For the sake of easy monitoring and administration, such devices are typically accompanied by smartphone apps, which are becoming increasingly popular, and sometim
Massive twistor worldline in electromagnetic fields
Abstract We study the (ambi-)twistor model for spinning particles interacting via electromagnetic field, as a toy model for studying classical dynamics of gravitating bodies including effects of both spins to all orders.We compute the momentum kick and spin kick up to one-loop order and Microfiber Mops show precisely how they are encoded in the cla
Revalidation of Apostolepis barrioi (Serpentes: Dipsadidae)
With 32 species, Apostolepis is the most diverse genus in the tribe Elapomorphini.The description of Apostolepis barrioi is based on one specimen and the taxon later was synonymized with A.dimidiata.Based on a examination of new specimens, the taxon is resurrected to full species rank.Apostolepis left vent barrioi differs from all congeners by havi
EgMIXTA1, a MYB-Type Transcription Factor, Promotes Cuticular Wax Formation in Eustoma grandiflorum Leaves
In the aerial plant organs, cuticular wax forms a hydrophobic layer that can protect cells from dehydration, repel pathogen attacks, and prevent organ fusion during development.The MIXTA gene encodes an MYB-like transcription factor, which is associated with epicuticular wax biosynthesis to increase the wax load on the surface of leaves.In this stu
