GH Induction System 1B (BR-105) & MRF System 6 (BR-120) in B226

The purpose of the attached calculations and detail sketches is to document conformance with the requirements of DOE-STD-1020-2016 for the subject project. The calculations have been reviewed for technical accuracy, appropriate methodology, and completeness using the "Document Review Method." The reviewer confirms that the stated purpose has been met. This package does not constitute a construction permit. The enclosed calculations are valid for 2 years from signed date or expiration of listed code cycles, whichever occurs first. Licensed civil or structural engineer is to be contacted for calculations application following expiration of calculations package.

Full-physics 3D heterogeneous simulations of electromagnetic induction fields on level and deformed sea ice

In this article we explore simulated responses of electromagnetic (EM) signals relative to in situ field surveys and quantify the effects that different values of conductivity in sea ice have on the EM fields. We compute EM responses of ice types with a three-dimensional (3-D) finite-volume discretization of Maxwell's equations and present 2-D sliced visualizations of their associated EM fields at discrete frequencies. Several interesting observations result: First, since the simulator computes the fields everywhere, each gridcell acts as a receiver within the model volume, and captures the complete, coupled interactions between air, snow, sea ice and sea water as a function of their conductivity; second, visualizations demonstrate how 1-D approximations near deformed ice features are violated. But the most important new finding is that changes in conductivity affect EM field response by modifying the magnitude and spatial patterns (i.e. footprint size and shape) of current density and magnetic fields. These effects are demonstrated through a visual feature we define as 'null lines'. Null line shape is affected by changes in conductivity near material boundaries as well as transmitter location. Our results encourage the use of null lines as a planning tool for better ground-truth field measurements near deformed ice types.

The Induction of Recombinant Protein Bodies in Different Subcellular Compartments Reveals a Cryptic Plastid-Targeting Signal in the 27-kDa γ-Zein Sequence

Naturally occurring storage proteins such as zeins are used as fusion partners for recombinant proteins because they induce the formation of ectopic storage organelles known as protein bodies (PBs) where the proteins are stabilized by intermolecular interactions and the formation of disulfide bonds. Endogenous PBs are derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we have used different targeting sequences to determine whether ectopic PBs composed of the N-terminal portion of mature 27 kDa γ-zein added to a fluorescent protein could be induced to form elsewhere in the cell. The addition of a transit peptide for targeting to plastids causes PB formation in the stroma, whereas in the absence of any added targeting sequence PBs were typically associated with the plastid envelope, revealing the presence of a cryptic plastid-targeting signal within the γ-zein cysteine-rich domain. The subcellular localization of the PBs influences their morphology and the solubility of the stored recombinant fusion protein. Our results indicate that the biogenesis and budding of PBs does not require ER-specific factors and therefore, confirm that γ-zein is a versatile fusion partner for recombinant proteins offering unique opportunities for the accumulation and bioencapsulation of recombinant proteins in different subcellular compartments.

GmMPK6 Positively Regulates Salt Tolerance through Induction of GmRbohI1 in Soybean

Salt stress is a critical environmental stress that impairs plant growth and development, especially in crop productivity; therefore, understanding the salt response in plants is the basis for their development of salt tolerance. Under salinity, soybean mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (GmMPK6) is activated and positively regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. However, it is not yet elucidated how GmMPK6 regulates ROS generation and its role in salt tolerance. Here, we show that GmMPK6, solely activated in NaCl treatment, and gene expression of GmRbohI1 was not only reduced by MPK inhibitor SB202190 in NaCl treatment, but also increased in a GMKK1-expressing protoplast. Furthermore, SB202190 and the NADPH-oxidase inhibitor, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, increased susceptibility to salt stress. The expression of GmRD19A was induced by NaCl treatment, but this expression was compromised by SB202190. Consequently, we revealed that GmMPK6 induces ROS generation through the transcriptional regulation of GmRbohI1 and increases salt tolerance in soybean.
