With global warming, high-temperature (HT) stress has become a major abiotic stress for crops, in particular summer maize in China.Photosynthesis is sensitive to HT.Salicylic acid (SA) and 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) can improve the adaptation of plants to various biotic and abiotic stresses.However, their contribution to maintaining photosynthetic acti
As the public debate over stem cell research continues, the observable voting behaviour in Switzerland offers a unique opportunity to compare the voting behaviour of politicians with that of voters.By analysing the outcomes of a referendum on a liberal new bill regulating such research, we reveal an about 10 percentage blondor pale quartz point low
Abstract Injections are widely performed in the healthcare practice.Silicone has long been thought to be an inert and harmless material.Although used for decades in medical implants, including heart valves, breast implants, and as a tamponade for retinal detachment surgery, silicone oil might have deleterious effects.Agitation of the syringe to exp
Ligand receptor interactions instruct axon guidance during development.How dendrites are guided to specific targets is less understood.The C.elegans PVD sensory neuron innervates muscle-skin interface with its elaborate dendritic branches.Here, we found that LECT-2, the ortholog of leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-2 (LECT2), is secreted from the m
Stairways serve as important walking facilities for pedestrians, especially in metro stations, but researches of pedestrian traffic on stairways are not sufficient.This paper investigates pedestrian interactive behaviors (PIBs) under the different level of services (LOS) on stairways, including overtaking behavior and evasive behavior on stairways.
