Comparison of protein extraction methods for the leaves of Ficus deltoidea

This study investigated several extraction methods for proteins from the leaves of Ficus deltoidea. The protocols include solvent based extraction, TCA-acetone precipitation, Tris buffered phenol extraction and hybrid technique of TCA-acetone/phenol-SDS. The results indicated that the hybrid technique and Tris buffered phenol method could produce higher number and better quality of proteins. There are 22 protein bands with the wide range of molecular size ranging from 8.20 to 113.48 kDa separated by 12% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the hybrid technique. Tris buffered phenol could extract 13 protein bands from the plant, but only 9 protein bands from TCA-acetone precipitation method. pH 8.0 was the optimum value of Tris buffered phenol for protein extraction with higher protein content and better gel resolution.Keywords: Ficus deltoidea; protein extraction; TCA-acetone; phenol-SDS; p

Observation of the Decays B0->K+pi-pi0 and B0->rho-K+

We report the observation of B^0 decays to the K^+pi^-pi^0 final state using a data sample of 78 fb^-1 collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e^+e^- collider. With no assumptions about intermediate states in the decay, the branching fraction is measured to be (36.6^{+4.2}_{-4.3}+- 3.0)*10^-6.We also search for B decays to intermediate two-body states with the same K^+pi^-pi^0 final state. Significant B signals are observed in the rho(770)^- K^+ and K^*(892)^+pi^- channels, with branching fractions of (15.1^{+3.4+1.4+2.0}_{-3.3-1.5-2.1})* 10^-6 and (14.8^{+4.6+1.5+2.4}_{-4.4-1.0-0.9})* 10^-6, respectively. The first error is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is due to the largest possible interference. Contributions from other possible two-body states will be discussed. No CP asymmetry is found in the inclusive K^+pi^-pi^0 or rho^-K^+ modes, and we set 90% confidence level bounds on the asymmetry of -0.12<A_{CP}<0.26 and -0.18<A_{CP}<0.64, respectively.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figure

Open data from the third observing run of LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO

The global network of gravitational-wave observatories now includes five detectors, namely LIGO Hanford, LIGO Livingston, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600. These detectors collected data during their third observing run, O3, composed of three phases: O3a starting in 2019 April and lasting six months, O3b starting in 2019 November and lasting five months, and O3GK starting in 2020 April and lasting two weeks. In this paper we describe these data and various other science products that can be freely accessed through the Gravitational Wave Open Science Center at https://gwosc.org. The main data set, consisting of the gravitational-wave strain time series that contains the astrophysical signals, is released together with supporting data useful for their analysis and documentation, tutorials, as well as analysis software packages
