The de Bruijn-Erdo″s theorem for hypergraphs
Fix integers n ≤ r ≤ 2. A clique partition of ( r[n] ) is a collection of proper subsets A 1, A 2,. . . , A t ⊂ [n] such that ∪ i ( rAi) is a partition of ( r[n]). Let cp(n, r) denote the minimum size of a clique partition of ( r[n]). A classical theorem of de Bruijn and Erdo″s states that cp(n, 2) = n. In this paper ...

An apple B-box protein, MdCOL11, is involved in UV-B- and temperature-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis
Our studies showed that an apple B-box protein, MdCOL11, the homolog of AtBBX22, is involved in UV-B- and temperature-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple peel. Anthocyanin is responsible for the red pigmentation in apple peel and a R2R3 MYB gene, MdMYBA/1/10, a homolog of MdMYBA, controls its accumulation. Arabid...

Environmental justice and the expanding geography of wind power conflicts
Wind power is expanding globally. Simultaneously, a growing number of conflicts against large-scale wind farms are emerging in multiple locations around the world. As these processes occur, new questions arise on how electricity from wind is being generated, how such energy is flowing within societies, and how these pr...

Heart valve inspired and multi-stream aortic cannula: Novel designs for cardiopulmonary bypass improvement in neonates
In a typical open-heart surgery, the blood flow through the aortic cannula is a critical element of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedure. Especially for the neonatal and pediatric CPB flow conditions, the need for small hydraulic diameter and large blood flow results confined turbulent jet flow regimes that exace...
