Cabernet Sauvignon variety is one of the most widespread grapes varieties for winemaking grown in Romania. By application of clonal selection, five clones of Cabernet Sauvignon have been obtained and omologated in Romania. The present study aimed to characterize the quality of wines obtained from three Cabernet Sauvignon clones, namely Cabernet Sauvignon 30 Vl., 131 St. and 54 Mn. in the Valea Calugareasca viticultural area, considering the extension of their culture and market potential. The experiments were carried out during 2016-2017 harvest seasons, and were referred to basic physico-chemical composition of wines, anthocyanin and chromatic profiles, total polyphenols and antioxidant activity as well as sensorial characteristics. Considering the chemical composition, significant variation was observed for the sugar content and dry total extract from the clone 131 St., while, insignificant variations were noticed for the other parameters. Cabernet Sauvignon 30 Vl. wines showed distinctive characteristics, with the highest content of monomeric anthocyanins (496 mg/L) and the values of colour intensity, higher with 23.9% compared to Cabernet Sauvignon 54 Mn. wines and by 20.15% against Cabernet Sauvignon 131 St.. Being red wines were noted high values corresponding to the red nuances (d 520%) involved in color formation, ranging from 54.74% (Cabernet Sauvignon 131 St.) and 58.24% (Cabernet Sauvignon 30 Vl.). In terms of total phenolic content, the wines obtained from Cabernet Sauvignon 54 Mn. were noted with an amount of 564 mg GAE/l. From sensorial point of view, all wines showed ruby color, typical for Cabernet Sauvignon young wines, more intense in case of CS 131 St. The panelist identified a dominant note of cherries in Cabernet Sauvignon 30 Vl. wines, while in Cabernet Sauvignon 54 Mn. were cited flavors of black blueberry and pepper. A dominat aroma of green grass and some atypical flavors were noticed for Cabernet Sauvignon 131 St. wines. According to the obtained results, Cabernet Sauvignon 30 Vl. and 54 Mn. showed particulary interesting characteristics for the production of high quality wines in Valea Calugareasca viticultural area.

Ribosomal protein L10A is a component of the 60S large ribosomal subunit. To explore the structure feature of RPL10A gene of the Ailuropoda melanoleuca,the cDNA and the genomic sequence of RPL10A gene were cloned using RT-PCR and touchdown -PCR technology. The obtained cDNA of RPL10A in giant panda is 689 bp in size, containing an ORF of 654 bp, and the deduced protein was composed of 217 amino acids with molecular weight of 24.83 kD and PI of 9.94. The genomic sequence is 2358 bp in length, with six exons and five introns. Alignment analysis indicated that the CDS shows very high homologous with other reported mammalian species, and the deduced amino acid sequence of RPL10A gene is the same with them. The predicted protein has 5 different patterns of functional sites. The results will provide basic information to enrich and perfect the mammals RPL10A gene database. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

To explore the structure characteristic of rpL14 gene of A. melanoleuca and the differences among other species reported, we have designed primers based on the known information of rpL14 gene. Then, the cDNA and the genomic sequence of rpL14 gene were cloned successfully from A. melanoleuca by RT-PCR and PCR strategy respectively, and followed by sequencing and analyzing. The result indicated that the length of cDNA fragment cloned from A. melanoleuca is 700 bp in size, containing an open reading frame of 636bp. Predicted protein was composed of 211 amino acids with an estimated molecular weight of 23.06 kD and PI of 11.70. The length of the genomic sequence is 3292 bp, which was found to have six exons and five introns. Alignment analysis indicates that rpL14 gene and deduced amino acid sequence are highly similarity with reported species, including Homo sapiens, Bos taurus, Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus and Sus scrofa. The homologies for nucleotide sequences of A. melanoleuca rpL14 with this five species are 89.51%, 89.77%, 85.43%, 85.17% and 89.25%, while the homologies for amino acid sequences are 79.07%, 90.19 %, 86.45%, 84.79% and 94.37%. Topology predicted shows that six different patterns were found in the RPL14 protein of A. melanoleuca. The rpL14 gene of the A. melanoleuca was studied in this paper, which provided scientific information to enrich the rpL14 gene database. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Ribosomal protein S3A (RPS3A) is a component of the 40s small ribosomal subunit, which plays an important role in ribosome. To explore the structure characteristic of RPS3A gene of giant panda (Ailuropoda Melanoleuca), the cDNA and the genomic sequence of RPS 3A were cloned successfully from the giant panda by RT-PCR and Touch-down technology respectively, followed by sequencing and analysing.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a widely used enterprise resource planning system for small and medium-sized enterprises that, by design, encourages rapid customization by copy-paste programming. We report the results of analyzing clone detection for NAV using two previously published methods and one new algorithmic method: character-based sliding window sampling using Rabin-Karp hashing (MOSS), line-based sequence matching using suffix trees (CodeDup), and abstract-syntax-tree based graph sharing analysis (XMLClone). The latter is piggybacked on XMLStore, which stores XML trees as directed acyclic graphs (dags) where all isomorphic subtrees are identified and coalesced into single nodes, which can be done in linear time using multiset discrimination. This dagification discovers all well-formed Type-1 and, with suitable input normalization, Type-2 clones. We find that the subsequent dag analysis to discover Type-3 clones performs well on NAV source code, both in terms of computational complexity and precision. This suggests that efficient dagification and independently configurable dag interpretation may be valuable ingredients for modular clone detection. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The clone detection, aiming to detect the illegal copies with all of the credentials of legitimate sensor nodes, is of great importance for sensor networks because of the substantial impact of clones on network operations like routing, data collection, and key distribution, etc. Based on a state-of-the-art signal processing technique, compressed sensing, we propose a novel clone detection method, called CSI. Not only is the design philosophy fundamentally different from the existing methods, but also it has the lowest communication cost among all detection methods. The performance and security of CSI will be demonstrated by numerical simulations and analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

For a clone $C$ that contains a near-unanimity operation, one can define $\lambda(C)$ and $\mu(C)$ to be the smallest integers $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $C$ is generated by its $k_1$-ary part and can be written as the set of polymorphisms of its $k_2$-th graphic, respectively. In this paper, we discuss the meaning of the functions $\lambda$ and $\mu$, elaborate the connection between them, derive some (sharp) bounds, and calculate the functions values for some selected (minimal) clones.

Let A be a finite set with |A|> 1. A centralizing monoid on A is a set of unary functions defined on A which commute with some set of (multi-variable) functions on A. In this paper we consider the case where A is a three-element set. Using the concept of a witness and Kuznetsov criterion, we determine all centralizing monoids on a three-element set. There are 192 centralizing monoids, which are divided into 48 conjugate classes. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Incompletely specified operations coincide with partial operations. For a given set $A, $ they both assign elements from $A$ to some tuples of elements from $A.$ But, what does it mean that no value is assigned to a tuple? In case of partial operations, it means that the function is not defined and the input tuple can not appear, while in case of incompletely specified operations, the function is defined, but the output value is not specified. We introduce the notion of composition of incompletely specified operations and corresponding definition of a clone of such operations, and make comparison with clones of total, clones of partial and clones of hyper operations. This leads to a survey of similar results holding for incompletely specified operations. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

To optimizing the coverage performance of sensor network with random deployment, this paper proposed a strategy which is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) with dynamic clone. The algorithm control clone number and variation range of particles, which represents the positions of all mobile sensor nodes, on the base of classical particle swarm algorithm, according to their coverage rate and similarity among the swarms, the particles decide the clone number and variation scope after each iteration completing, and avoid being trapped in early-maturing situation. The result of simulation shows that this optimized algorithm is able to greatly improve the coverage of the network than other compared algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
