Transcriptional survey of the light-induced anthocyanin pathway in non-GM purple tomatoes by Silvia Gonzali, Jacopo Menconi, Pierdomenico Perata

“…This occurs since light cannot be perceived in the tissues underneath the skin because of the solar shield produced by the anthocyanins accumulated in the exocarp and for the activation of regulatory loops controlling HY5 levels. This is shown by the expression of genes involved in the production of photoreceptors and in the light signaling chain operating upstream of the anthocyanin pathway and responsible for its activation.…”

Evaluation of the Synergistic Effect of Erosion-Corrosion on AISI 4330 Steel in Saline-Sand Multiphase Flow by Electrochemical and Gravimetric Techniques by Dario Yesid Peña Ballesteros, Yelsin Enrique Mendez Camacho, Lizeth Viviana Barreto Hernandez

“…The electrochemical impedance and potentiodynamic curves suggest that erosion-corrosion phenomenon of the ASISI 4330 steel is under mixed control of mass transport and charge transfer. The inductive loops formed in the impedance plots are representative of an increase in roughness of the electrode caused by the particles impacting at the surface. …”

Solving Spatial Optimization Problems via Lagrangian Relaxation and Automatic Gradient Computation by Zhen Lei, Ting L. Lei

“…As such, the human expert only needs to implement the Lagrangian problem in a scientific computing language (such as Python), and the system can find the (sub)gradients of this code, even if it contains complex loops and conditional statements. We verify that the autograd version of the algorithm is equivalent to the original version with manually derived gradients. …”
