Changes in benzoxazinoid contents and the expression of the associated genes in rye (Secale cereale L.) due to brown rust and the inoculation procedure.

Benzoxazinoids (BXs) are secondary metabolites with diverse functions, but are primarily involved in protecting plants, mainly from the family Poaceae, against insects and fungal pathogens.Rye is a cereal crop that is Shirt Jackets highly resistant to biotic stresses.However, its susceptibility to brown rust caused by Puccinia recondita f.sp.secali

Displacement Estimation via 3D-Printed RFID Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring: Leveraging Machine Learning and Photoluminescence to Overcome Data Gaps

Monitoring object displacement is critical for structural health monitoring (SHM).Radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors can be used for this purpose.Using more sensors enhances displacement estimation accuracy, especially when it is realized through the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting the direction of arrival of the a

Swiss prospective study on spider bites

Knowledge of spider bites in Central Europe derives mainly from anecdotal case presentations; therefore we aimed to collect cases systematically.From June 2011 to November 2012 we prospectively collected 17 cases of alleged spider bites, and together with two spontaneous notifications later on, our database totaled 19 cases.Among them, eight cases

Dual-center study comparing transradial and transfemoral approaches for flow diversion treatment of intracranial aneurysms

BACKGROUND: The transfemoral approach (TFA) has been the traditional approach for neurointerventional cases.While the TFA allows for triaxial support in flow diverting stent cases, it is associated with access site complications.Recently, the transradial approach (TRA) has emerged as a safer alternative to the TFA.To the best of our knowledge, ther
