Background Quercus liaotungensis Koidz.is an ecologically and economically important tree species widely distributed in Northern China.However, the effective assessment, utilization, and protection of Q.liaotungensis resources remain unexplored.Methods In total, 120 samples obtained from 12 Q.liaotungensis populations of Northern China were investi

Arabidopsis thaliana accessions were inoculated with incompatible isolates of downy mildews, following pre-inoculation with compatible Albugo candida.Three Tips isolates of Hyaloperonospora parasitica subsp.A.thaliana, an isolate of H.parasitica subsp.Brassica oleracea and one Bremia lactucae (lettuce) isolate were included.All downy mildews sporul

Pedestrian-to-vehicle communication helps to prevent pedestrian accidents by disseminating position information of a pedestrian to nearby vehicles.This is especially useful when a pedestrian is in the blind spot of vehicles.In urban canyons, roadside buildings obstruct satellite signals, which may cause an outage in pedestrian positioning.Using veh

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed.The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.2-trans, 4-trans decadenial (A3) produced by diatoms can function as grazing deterrents and harm copepod development.Salmon lice (Lep

Heat transfer enhancement in a car radiator using different nano fluids has been performed very often, but use of artificial roughness has been Arkansas seldom done.In the present work, artificial roughness in the form of ribs has been incorporated in car radiator.A numerical comparative study has been performed between the ribbed automobile radiat
