![]() In this project, we will extend our proprietary technology to plant mitochondria. We have recently published our work on the successful application of CRISPR technology to gene editing of mitochondria in yeast and chloroplasts in an alga. CRISPR technology has been used in recent years to successfully gene edit nuclear genomes in plants and other organisms. In plants, genetic information resides in the nucleus, the mitochondria, and the chloroplast. To create the most desirable CMS wheat lines requires fulfillment of our Phase I research goal, production of an efficient method to gene edit plant mitochondrial DNA. ![]() Cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines can be used as the female plant in such a system. A hybrid crop system for wheat will require male sterile lines that serve as the female plants to produce hybrid seeds through fertilization with pollen from male donor plants. ![]() Yield increase of hybrid wheat also is expected to double and triple through the development of elite male and female lines over a short period. Globally, this would correspond to the potential for an additional 112 million tons and $23 billion each year. Research has shown that wheat hybrid plants with currently available inbred parents already have a potential to increase yield by 15%. Over the same time period of 80 years, wheat, which is primarily a self-pollinating non-hybrid crop, has experienced less than a 3-fold increase in yield. The use of hybrid systems for corn resulted in an 8-fold increase in yield when compared to the non-hybrid yields of the 1930s. The use of hybrid crop systems, i.e., crops with separate male and female lines used to produce hybrid seed, has been highly successful in increasing crop productivity in the past. Our solution is the introduction of commercially viable hybrid seed production for self-pollinated crops. Additionally, such breakthrough yield gains will help reduce the need for increasing farm land by deforestation, hence, protecting our environment. To address the global issue, we need to increase the yield potential of crop plants to unprecedented levels. While a certain part of food security could be managed by protecting the yield loss of crop plants from insect infestation and diseases by use of potent chemistry, it is not sustainable and is still limited by the maximal yield potential of crop plants. As the human population continues to grow with the addition of 3 billion (40% more) people in the next 40 years, supporting the population with sufficient food will become a critical global issue. Non Technical Summary One of the most pressing global challenges of our society is food security. ![]()

Season of the Deep's cutscene about The Witness, the many lore drops via Veil Containment, and the general storyline helped Lightfall's reputation a whole lot, and they fixed many wrongs. The main issue with Lightfall was that its story was divided into a whole year, so instead of delivering answers straight away, Bungie's approach was to have Year 6 seasons do that. As such, the general consensus was that being cautiously optimistic about The Final Shape was the best play, but things might have changed for the better with Bungie's confirmed plans - although some burning questions remain. The Final Shape and its seasons were a big question mark, however, as Lightfall was received poorly as an expansion due to narrative hiccups that the seasonal loop for Season of Defiance couldn't really help fix. The seasons for The Final Shape will be disconnected from the main story, allowing for more self-contained stories that may foreshadow future expansions, but it raises questions about their overall relevance to the series.ĭestiny 2's Lightfall era was likely the most anticipated an expansion and its accompanying seasons have ever been for Bungie's looter-shooter, and a good part of that hype was coming from the incredible success of the stories told with The Witch Queen as well as its gameplay.The return of Cayde-6 in The Final Shape could have a major impact on the storyline, but there is a possibility that his appearance will be limited to the new locations introduced in the expansion.Bungie is addressing concerns about Destiny 2's Lightfall era by confirming that The Final Shape will not rely on its seasons to conclude the story, a departure from past expansions.Once the updates are complete, Destiny 2 can be launched.

Other desktop environments are available, including KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXQt, LXDE, MATE, Cinnamon, and i3. The default desktop environment is GNOME, and the default user interface is the GNOME Shell. Fedora users can upgrade from version to version without reinstalling. Making changes upstream instead of specifically for Fedora Linux ensures that the changes are available to all Linux distributions.įedora Linux has a relatively short life cycle: Each version is usually supported for at least 13 months, where version X is supported only until 1 month after version X+2 is released and with approximately 6 months between most versions. Features įedora has a reputation for focusing on innovation, integrating new technologies early on and working closely with upstream Linux communities. Īs of February 2016, Fedora Linux has an estimated 1.2 million users, and is also the distro of choice by Linus Torvalds (as of May 2020 ), creator of the Linux kernel. A new version of Fedora Linux is released every six months. This was expanded to five editions for containerization and Internet of Things (IoT) as of the release of Fedora 37 in November 2022. Since the release of Fedora 21 in December 2014, three editions have been made available: personal computer, server and cloud computing. It is now the upstream source for CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

I say that instead of that we have a system where a village can go out a capture a bijuu in other words:Įvent Appears: The Nine-Tailed Fox has appeared in the valley of death. So locking it in a dungeon wouldn't in my opinion be the best idea. Each village in the past went throught great measures to find and capture a beast to increase their own military power. Biju's are monsters that are used in war. Now this is just me but here is my idea on the Biju situation. It's definitely better than the suggestions for Bijuu systems so far which are mostly BYOND-esque ideas. ![]() Just a suggestion loosely based off a naruto browser game I used to play. ![]() If the default level for each Bijuu was 5000, Sound's Bijuu would be a +4, which would make every Sound Villager have an XP boost since it's Bijuu has a positive rating. After doing some damage, the Sound ninjas get the Leaf Bijuu down to level 4996, in turn making the Sound Bijuu level 5004. Also, it offers a major PvM element for those who don't like PvP.ĥ Sound ninjas attack Leaf's bijuu, who has a current level of 5000. ![]() I believe that a system like this would encourage a village to work together, giving the Kage and high-ranked ninja the ability to plan attacks. Each village's Bijuu would be EXTREMELY over powered, requiring villages to attack in groups to damage it. A strong Bijuu could have benefits, such as an XP boost for the village. Instead of having a Bijuu system where one person controls the bijuu and is completely over-powered, I believe it would be better if each village had their own Bijuu in a dungeon where other villages could raid.īy attacking another villages Bijuu, the attackers Bijuu would get stronger while the Bijuu being attacked would get weaker. ![]() ![]() Relaunch app and check if Not Finding Games On Windows 10 issue still occurs.

The researchers will soon begin a prospective study using the 3-D model to guide DBS surgery. The predictive computer model and the actual successful electrode placements correlated for 22 of 24 electrodes in the dozen patients, the study showed. The researchers used the 3-D model to predict the best placement for the electrodes in each patient. To test the accuracy of the model, the researchers conducted a retrospective study of 12 patients who had already been treated successfully for tremors using DBS. “You can actually see the nerve fibers in the brain, how they’re crossing, and the subtleties of contrast between gray and white matter in the brain far beyond what a clinical scan could offer.” ![]() Allan Johnson, senior author of the paper and director of the Duke Center for In Vivo Microscopy where the brain stem was scanned. “These images are 1,000 times more detailed than a clinical MRI,” said G. The map was produced from a 10-day scan of a healthy donor’s postmortem brain stem in a 7-Tesla MRI system, and then converted into a 3-D model that can be proportionally scaled to fit a person’s unique brain anatomy using a high-performance computing cluster. “It could eliminate trial and error and make the surgery safer.” “This map will potentially help us reach the optimal target the first time,” Lad said. Moving an electrode requires another pass through delicate tissue, and complications from DBS can include hemorrhage, seizure, or memory problems. This indirect targeting is the standard of care for DBS, but comes with risk. Surgeons must often remove and reinsert electrodes and test frequencies to find the spots inside the thalamus where, for instance, the electric current subdues the hands of a patient with debilitating tremors. They are targeting a circuit called the dentatorubrothalamic tract or DRT (depicted as an X-shaped pathway in the accompanying image), Lad said. Many neurosurgeons currently rely on lower resolution CT and MRI scans and geographic coordinates relative to the planes of the brain to guide them when placing electrodes into the thalamus. With this map, for the first time we’re able to see the thalamus and that underlying circuitry that we are modulating.” “On the conventional MRI that we take before surgery, the thalamus looks like a gray mass where you can see only the borders,” said neurosurgeon Nandan Lad, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Duke NeuroOutcomes Center and an author of the paper. The new 3-D model could eliminate risky trial-and-error as surgeons implant electrodes - a change akin to trading an outdated paper road atlas for a real-time GPS. ![]() In a study to be published June 3 in Human Brain Mapping, the researchers unveil an ultra high-resolution brain stem model that could better guide brain surgeons treating conditions such as tremors and Parkinson’s disease with deep brain stimulation (DBS). – Scientists at Duke Medicine have produced a 3-D map of the human brain stem at an unprecedented level of detail using MRI technology. ![]() ![]() ![]() It will also lead to complete and permanent removal of the following data: This includes name, email, phone, payment methods, etc. To delete your Blizzard account, you should request personal information to be removed from the account.
