Adaptive Buffer Capture and Storage for High-Speed Cameras

The output speed of a high-resolution camera with a fast frame rate is high, reaching 800 MB/s or even more.Consequently, the abundant data recorded can easily cause data overflow during transmission and frame loss during storage.To address this problem of data overflow and frame loss while achieving reliable acquisition rates, herein, we design Ro

A strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae evolved for fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass displays improved growth and fermentative ability in high solids concentrations and in the presence of inhibitory compounds

Abstract Background Softwoods are the dominant source of lignocellulosic biomass in the northern hemisphere, and have been investigated worldwide as a renewable Kamm substrate for cellulosic ethanol production.One challenge to using softwoods, which is particularly acute with pine, is that the pretreatment process produces inhibitory compounds detr
