    Notes: Abstract To understand the mechanisms by which the expression of a specific gene is modulated by cytokinin, the regulation of hydroxypyruvate reductase (HPR) transcript levels by N6-benzyladenine (BA) in etiolated pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Halloween) cotyledons was investigated. A pumpkin HPR cDNA was generated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and its nucleotide sequence was determined. An antisense HPR RNA was prepared for RNase protection analysis of HPR-mRNA expression patterns in the cotyledons of dark-grown pumpkin seedlings. Treatment of the cotyledons with BA was shown to modulate HPR mRNA levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Similarly, nuclear run-on studies showed that the rate of transcription was also enhanced by BA treatment of the cotyledons. These results suggest that the enhancement of HPR mRNA by cytokinin is, at least in part, at the level of transcription.

    Notes: Abstract Transcription of the cucumber hpr-A gene is responsive to cytokinin and light. To investigate the molecular basis for transcriptional regulation by cytokinin, we have identified DNA sequences and proteins that may be involved in the regulation of hpr-A gene expression. Transient expression assays in etiolated cucumber cotyledons indicate that the 315 bp fragment (−382 to −67) contains sequences necessary for cytokinin responsiveness of the luciferase reporter gene. Band shift assays detected cytokinin-enhanced and -reduced protein binding sites in a 97 bp fragment (−382 to −285) upstream of the hpr-A gene. DNase I footprinting identified two protein-protected sites, a 15 bp sequence, 5′-AAATGACGAAAATGC-3′, that contains an as-1 TGACG motif found in other plant promoters, and a 13 bp sequence, 5′-AAGATTGATTGAG-3′, of unknown function. Two-dimensional band shift analysis of the cytokinin-responsive DNA protein complex revealed the presence of six DNA protein interactions. Band shift assays showed that cytokinin and light have different effects on the interaction of nuclear proteins to the 97 bp fragment of the hpr-A gene. These data suggest that cytokinin and light do not share identical signal transduction pathways in regulating hpr-A gene expression.

    Notes: Abstract This paper proposes an extended high level evaluation Petri nets (EHLEP-N) for modeling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). This new class of models is simple, perceivable and descriptive, having the capability of inference and making decisions. When applied to FMSs, the EHLEP-N can model real-time decisions with which dynamic scheduling rules can be investigated and evaluated. Experimental results show that the throughput for such systems with the new scheduling strategies can increase on an average of 7% by decreasing no-inputs and blockings compared with that of the traditional strategies.

    Notes: The quasi-lognormal distribution (Q-LND) approximation was used to predict breakthrough curves in fixed-bed adsorbers for a linear adsorption system with axial dispersion, external film diffusion resistance, and intraparticle diffusion resistance for slab-, cylindrical-, and spherical-particle geometries. The exact solution and parabolic profile approximation were also obtained for different particle geometries. Numerical results show that the Q-LND approximation is a simple and handy solution. It predicts breakthrough curves with an accuracy comparable to the parabolic-profile approximation over a wide range of parameters; compared with the latter, it only takes less than one hundredth the computation time and does not have a convergence problem in numerical calculations. A criterion for the applicability of the Q-LND approximation is suggested. The effect of particle geometries on the breakthrough curves is discussed. A criterion is also provided for the Q-LND approximation to explore the conditions where one should consider this effect on breakthrough curves.
