Abstract
Cooking-caused rice grain expansion (CCRGE) is a critical trait for evaluating the cooking quality of rice. Previous quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping studies on CCRGE have been limited to bi-parental populations, which restrict the exploration of natural variation and mapping resolution. To comprehensively and precisely dissect the genetic basis of CCRGE, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on three related indices: grain breadth expansion index (GBEI), grain length expansion index (GLEI), and grain length-breadth ratio expansion index (GREI), using 345 rice accessions grown in two years (environments) and 193,582 SNP markers. By analyzing each environment separately using seven different methods (3VmrMLM, mrMLM, FASTmrMLM, FASTmrEMMA, pLARmEB, pKWmEB, ISIS EM-BLASSO), we identified a total of 32, 19 and 27 reliable quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with GBEI, GLEI and GREI, respectively. Furthermore, by jointly analyzing the two environments using 3VmrMLM, we discovered 19, 22 and 25 QTNs, as well as 9, 5 and 7 QTN-by-environment interaction (QEIs) associated with GBEI, GLEI and GREI, respectively. Notably, 12, 9 and 15 QTNs for GBEI, GLEI and GREI were found within the intervals of previously reported QTLs. In the vicinity of these QTNs or QEIs, based on analyses of mutation type, gene ontology classification, haplotype, and expression pattern, we identified five candidate genes that are related to starch synthesis and endosperm development. The five candidate genes, namely, LOC_Os04g53310 (OsSSIIIb, near QTN qGREI-4.5s), LOC_Os05g02070 (OsMT2b, near QTN qGLEI-5.1s), LOC_Os06g04200 (wx, near QEI qGBEI-6.1i and QTNs qGREI-6.1s and qGLEI-6.1t), LOC_Os06g12450 (OsSSIIa, near QTN qGLEI-6.2t), and LOC_Os08g09230 (OsSSIIIa, near QTN qGBEI-8.1t), are predicted to be involved in the process of rice grain starch synthesis and to influence grain expansion after cooking. Our findings provide valuable insights and will facilitate genetic research and improvement of CCRGE.

Abstract
Several metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were already obtained by mixing NaOH solution with chloride solution of the corresponding metal to form metal hydroxide or oxide precipitates and wash-dry-calcine the latter. However, the complete list of metal oxide NPs is missing with which this technology works well. The aim of this study was to fill this knowledge gap and to provide a full list of possible metals for which this technology probably works well. Our methodology was chemical thermodynamics, analyzing solubilities of metal chlorides, metal oxides and metal hydroxides in water and also standard molar Gibbs energy changes accompanying the following: (i) the reaction between metal chlorides and NaOH; (ii) the dissociation reaction of metal hydroxides into metal oxide and water vapor and (iii) the reaction between metal oxides and gaseous carbon dioxide to form metal carbonates. The major result of this paper is that the following metal-oxide NPs can be produced by the above technology from the corresponding metal chlorides: Al2O3, BeO, CaO, CdO, CoO, CuO, FeO, Fe2O3, In2O3, La2O3, MgO, MnO, Nd2O3, NiO, Pr2O3, Sb2O3, Sm2O3, SnO, Y2O3 and ZnO. From the analysis of the literature, the following nine nano-oxides have been already obtained experimentally with this technology: CaO, CdO, Co3O4, CuO, Fe2O3, NiO, MgO, SnO2 and ZnO (note: Co3O4 and SnO2 were obtained under oxidizing conditions during calcination in air). Thus, it is predicted here that the following nano-oxides can be potentially synthesized with this technology in the future: Al2O3, BeO, In2O3, La2O3, MnO, Nd2O3, Pr2O3, Sb2O3, Sm2O3 and Y2O3. The secondary result is that among the above 20 nano-oxides, the following five nano-oxides are able to capture carbon dioxide from air at least down to 42 ppm residual CO2-content, i.e., decreasing the current level of 420 ppm of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere at least tenfold: CaO, MnO, MgO, CdO, CoO. The tertiary result is that by mixing the AuCl3 solution with NaOH solution, Au nano-particles will precipitate without forming Au-oxide NPs. The results are significant for the synthesis of metal nano-oxide particles and for capturing carbon dioxide from air.

Abstract
Background Therapeutic exercises are used in clinical practice for patients with low back pain (LBP). Core stabilization exercises can retrain the important function of local trunk muscles and increase the accuracy of the sensory integration process for stability of the spine in individuals with LBP. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different exercise regimes, Core stabilization exercises (CSE) and Strengthening exercise (STE), on proprioception, balance, muscle thickness and pain-related outcomes in patients with subacute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). Methods Thirty-six subacute NSLBP patients, [mean age, 34.78 ± 9.07 years; BMI, 24.03 ± 3.20 Kg/m2; and duration of current pain, 8.22 ± 1.61 weeks], were included in this study. They were randomly allocated into either CSE (n = 18) or STE groups (n = 18). Exercise training was given for 30 min, three times per week, for up to 4 weeks. Proprioception, standing balance, muscle thickness of transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus (LM), and pain-related outcomes, comprising pain, functional disability and fear of movement, were assessed at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention. Results The CSE group demonstrated significantly more improvement than the STE group after 4 weeks of intervention. Improvements were in: proprioception [mean difference (95% CI): − 0.295 (− 0.37 to − 0.2), effect size: 1.38, (p < 0.001)], balance: single leg standing with eyes open and eyes closed on both stable and unstable surfaces (p < 0.05), and percentage change of muscle thickness of TrA and LM (p < 0.01). Although both exercise groups gained relief from pain, the CSE group demonstrated greater reduction of functional disability [effect size: 0.61, (p < 0.05)] and fear of movement [effect size: 0.80, (p < 0.01)]. There were no significant adverse effects in either type of exercise program. Conclusion Despite both core stabilization and strengthening exercises reducing pain, core stabilization exercise is superior to strengthening exercise. It is effective in improving proprioception, balance, and percentage change of muscle thickness of TrA and LM, and reducing functional disability and fear of movement in patients with subacute NSLBP.

Abstract
Paw San Hmwe (PSH) is a high-quality rice cultivar from Myanmar. PSH has short and broad grains, but the grains become slender after cooking. This desirable feature can be described as a high value of grain length-breadth relative expansion index (GREI). To understand the genetic basis of high GREI in PSH, we crossed PSH with Guang 8B (G8B), a rice cultivar from China with low GREI, to develop an F2 population and a subsequent F2:3 population. Based on the phenotypes of these two populations measured in two years and using the method of sequencing-based bulked segregant analysis followed by verification with conventional linkage-based QTL mapping method, we mapped three QTLs for GREI. The three QTLs were located on chromosomes 3, 5 and 12, respectively, with the trait-increasing alleles all from PSH, and could explain a total of 62.5% of the phenotypic variance and 84.1% of the additive genetic variance. The results suggest that the three QTLs would be useful for the genetic improvement of GREI in rice, and the linked markers will facilitate the selection of the favorable alleles from PSH in breeding.
