Securing maize grain yield is crucial to meet food and energy needs for the future growing population, especially under frequent drought events and elevated CO2 (eCO2) due to climate change.To maximize the kernel setting rate under drought stress is a key strategy in battling against the negative impacts.Firstly, we summarize the major limitations
Marsh ecosystems are some of our most important, serving many crucial ecological functions.They are also rapidly changing, and it is vital for scientists to track these changes.This includes monitoring the health of marshes via estimating ground coverage by various grass species, a task that requires human labor to look at marsh images and manually
The propagation of a millimeter wave (mmWave) signal is dominated by its line-of-sight component.Therefore, the knowledge of angle-of-arrival and polarization state of the wave is of great importance for its read more reception at the receiver.In this paper, we estimate these parameters for an information-bearing signal in mmWave systems using hybr
Background: Medical students are already under extreme academic pressure which causes disruption in their sleep patterns.Due to the read more COVID-19 pandemic, though they have been relieved of their hectic schedules this has also led to complete lack of hands-on training and bedside clinical teaching which might have given rise to increased anxie
Abstract Background Sexual acquisition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through mucosal transmission may be prevented by using topically applied agents that block HIV transmission from one individual to another.Therefore, virucidal agents that inactivate HIV virions may be used as a component in topical microbicides.Results Here, we have i
