Stomatal abundance determines the maximum potential for gas exchange between Supplements the plant and the atmosphere.In Arabidopsis, it is set during organ development through complex genetic networks linking epidermal differentiation programs with environmental response circuits.Three related bHLH transcription factors, SPCH, MUTE, and FAMA, act
Abstract: This study presents the effects of including infill panels on the non-linear dynamic response Alternator Brackets of a hypothetical reinforced concrete frame when subjected to an earthquake.Infill panels are represented by equivalent diagonal struts using three different configurations, i.e., single, double with three different connection
Circular Hollow Section (CHS) columns are usually used in high-rise buildings.International design specifications usually overestimate the design of the beam-to-CHS column branch plate connections.This paper numerically investigates the behavior and strength of beam-to-CHS column branch plate connections using a finite element (FE) model.The FE mod
Accurate dry matter determination (DM) in Hass avocados is vital for optimal harvesting and ensuring fruit quality.Predictive models based on NIRS need to capture fruit DM gradient.This work aimed to determine the DM content in Hass avocado whole by NIRS scanning different fruit zones.Spectra were recorded for each zone of the fruit: peduncle (P),
HIV-1 protease gene sequences were obtained from peripheral blood, saliva or oral tissues of 35 HIV+ patients using nested amplification and manual sequencing of PCR products.Of the 35 HIV+ patients 9 had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) while 26 did not, and only 4 patients were on protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.These patients were collec
