Human activity recognition, tracking and classification is an essential trend in assisted living systems that can help support elderly people with their daily activities.Traditional activity recognition approaches depend on vision-based or sensor-based techniques.Nowadays, a novel promising technique has obtained more attention, namely device-free
TORC1 inactivation promotes APC/C-dependent mitotic slippage in yeast and human cells
Summary: Unsatisfied kinetochore-microtubule attachment activates the spindle assembly checkpoint to inhibit the metaphase-anaphase transition.However, some cells eventually override mitotic arrest by mitotic slippage.Here, we show that inactivation of TORC1 kinase elicits mitotic slippage in budding yeast and human cells.Yeast mitotic slippage was
The role of jasmonates in floral nectar secretion.
Plants produce nectar in their flowers as a reward for their pollinators and most of our crops depend on insect pollination, but little is known on the physiological control of nectar secretion.Jasmonates are well-known for their effects on senescence, the development and opening of flowers and on plant defences such as extrafloral nectar.Their rol
Phages for Biofilm Removal
Biofilms are clusters of bacteria that live in association with surfaces.Their main characteristic is that the bacteria inside VANILLA VEGAN MARSHMALLOW the biofilms are attached to other bacterial cells and to the surface by an extracellular polymeric matrix.Biofilms are capable of adhering to a wide variety of surfaces, both biotic and abiotic, i
