Cloning of a flower-specific expression promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana and its plant expression vector construction

Given the sequence of Chs gene promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana reported in GenBank （AF248988）, a pair of specific PCR primers was designed with the Primer Premier 5.0 software. PCR products of about 0.5 kb were successfully amplified with the genome DNA of A. thaliana as a DNA template and Taq polymerase as DNA polymerase. The purified PCR products were ligated to the pMD18-T vector. The sequencing result showed that the Chs promoter from A. thaliana was 531 bp long. Sequence alignment analysis based on the DNAMAN software revealed that the sequence similarity between the cloned promoter and target promoter （AF248988） was up to 100%. Online PLACE analysis indicated that the Chs promoter contained cis-elements such as TATA-box, CAAT-box, pollen-box, G-box, ACGT-containing element, R response element, Myb recognition element and TACPyAT-box. At the same time, a plant expression vectorpAtChs：：GUS which fused the Chs promoter and the marker gene GUS was successfully constructed.

Comparison of School Building Construction Costs Estimation Methods Using Regression Analysis, Neural Network, and Support Vector Machine

Accurate cost estimation at the early stage of a construction project is key factor in a project’s success. But it is difficult to quickly and accurately estimate construction costs at the planning stage, when drawings, documentation and the like are still incomplete. As such, various techniques have been applied to accurately estimate construction costs at an early stage, when project information is limited. While the various techniques have their pros and cons, there has been little effort made to determine the best technique in terms of cost estimating performance. The objective of this research is to compare the accuracy of three estimating techniques (regression analysis (RA), neural network (NN), and support vector machine techniques (SVM)) by performing estimations of construction costs. By comparing the accuracy of these techniques using historical cost data, it was found that NN model showed more accurate estimation results than the RA and SVM models. Consequently, it is determined that NN model is most suitable for estimating the cost of school building projects.
