Abstract: The invention relates to gene expression regulatory sequences, specifically introns that act as enhancers of gene expression, the promoter and terminator sequences endogenously associated with these introns. Presence of these intronic enhancer sequences in proximity to promoter sequences leads to enhancement of gene expression. Methods of finding such new intronic enhancer sequences and using them to generate transgenic plants are also described.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes providing an imaging apparatus, recording image data of an imaging location using the imaging apparatus, displaying the image data to a user via a user device, selecting an image object from the image data based on a selection criteria, and determining whether or not a selection criteria error of the image object is to be checked. The method also includes displaying a bounding shape, which bounds the image object, to the user via the user device when the selection criteria error is to be checked, prompting the user to enter user input indicating whether or not the selection criteria error is present, and storing data of the image object in a cache when the user input indicates that the selection criteria error is present.

Abstract: A truncated stress-responsive transcription factor can be overexpressed without causing unfavorable pleiotropic effects. The truncation may result in deletion of a nuclear localization signal. The truncation may result in deletion of one or more regulatory motifs. The truncated transcription factor may be expressed under the control of a constitutive or tissue-preferred promoter. The transcription factor may be from maize.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein provide methods for executing a command to write data from a source location to a destination location in a memory device. In one embodiment, a memory device receives, from a host device, a command to write data from a source location to a destination location in the memory device. The memory device executes the command by changing the memory device's logical-to-physical address map without reading the data from the source location and writing the data to the destination location and without a need of further involvement of the host device after the host device sends the command to the memory device.

Abstract: A demand driven process of collecting structured product and service information including the steps of: receiving a request for information from a requestor about a specific product or service, or attribute or class thereof, associating one or more potential responders with the request for information, providing the request to the potential responders, receiving and organizing one or more responses, and providing the organized responses to the requestor, all electronically. An arrangement for the same includes user computers for receiving requests for information, network communication devices for transmitting the requests to potential responders, memory for storing electronic responses and a controller for organizing, updating, and providing access to the electronic responses.
