Potato spindle tuber viroid by A. V. Kochetov, A. Y. Pronozin, N. V. Shatskaya, D. A. Afonnikov, O. S. Afanasenko

“…Interestingly, viroid replication itself does not necessarily induce strong morphological or physiological symptoms. In the case of PSTVd, disease symptoms may occur due to RNA-interference, which decreases the expression levels of some important cellular regulatory factors, such as, for example, potato StTCP23 from the gibberellic acid pathway with a role in tuber morphogenesis or tomato FRIGIDA-like protein 3 with an early flowering phenotype. …”

A statistical approach to the use of control entropy identifies differences in constraints of gait in highly trained versus untrained runners by Rana D. Parshad, Stephen J. McGregor, Michael A. Busa, Joseph D. Skufca, Erik Bollt

“…These characteristics make CE a highly relevant time varying quantity relevant to the dynamic physiological responses associated with running. Using High Resolution Accelerometry (HRA) signals we evaluate here constraints of running gait, from two different groups of runners, highly trained collegiate and untrained runners.To this end, we further develop the control entropy (CE) statistic to allow for group analysis to examine the non-linearcharacteristics of movement patterns in highly trained runners with those of untrained runners, to gain insight regarding gaits that are optimal for running. …”
