SAPP: functional genome annotation and analysis through a semantic framework using FAIR principles

There are currently more than 150.000 sequenced genomes available from which considerable amounts of information can be extracted. However, annotation information is often not interoperable, static, lacks provenance and is quickly outdated. Keeping these datasets up-to-date, and interoperable is a challenging ..

Laser beam attenuation in LIF measurements on NO in a diesel engine

The effect of laser beam attenuation on nitric oxide measurements in a diesel engine is presented. A number ofexperimental ways to correct for this attenuation are discussed: transmission measurements, bidirectional laserinducedfluorescence, and Raman scattering by N\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e. Comparison of the results indicates that the attenuation isgenerally not uniform over the cylinder. Instead it seems to be less severe over the field of view (i.e. the upper partof the cylinder)

The effect of laser beam attenuation on nitric oxide measurements in a diesel engine is presented. A number ofexperimental ways to correct for this attenuation are discussed: transmission measurements, bidirectional laserinducedfluorescence, and Raman scattering by N2. Comparison of the results indicates that the attenuation isgenerally not uniform over the cylinder. Instead it seems to be less severe over the field of view (i.e. the upper partof the cylinder)

Quantitative nitric oxide measurements by means of laser-induced fluorescence in a heavy-duty Diesel engine

Quantitative in-cylinder laser-induced fluorescence measurements ofnitric oxide in a heavy-duty Diesel engine are presented. Special attention is paid to experimental techniques to assess the attenuation of the laser beam and the fluorescence signal by the cylinder contents.This attenuation can be considerable at certain stages in the combustionstroke. The temperature and pressure dependence of the fluorescence signal is described in various models. In this study, LIFsim was used.Finally, calibration was realized by concentration measurements in the exhaust gas

Novel chemistry of invasive plants: exotic species have more unique metabolomic profiles than native congeners

It is often assumed that exotic plants can become invasive when they possess novel secondary chemistry compared with native plants in the introduced range. Using untargeted metabolomic fingerprinting, we compared a broad range of metabolites of six successful exotic plant species and their native congeners of the family Asteraceae. Our results showed that plant chemistry is highly species-specific and diverse among both exotic and native species. Nonetheless, the exotic species had on average a higher total number of metabolites and more species-unique metabolites compared with their native congeners. Herbivory led to an overall increase in metabolites in all plant species. Generalist herbivore performance was lower on most of the exotic species compared with the native species. We conclude that high chemical diversity and large phytochemical uniqueness of the exotic species could be indicative of biological invasion potential
