Classical conservation approaches focus on the man-made degradation of ecosystems and tend to neglect the social-ecological values that human land uses have imprinted on many environments.Throughout the world, ingenious land-use practices have generated unique cultural landscapes, but these are under pressure from agricultural intensification, land

Rice false smut, a fungal disease caused by Ustilaginoidea virens is becoming a severe detriment to rice production worldwide.However, little is known about the molecular response of rice to attacks by the smut pathogen.In this article, we define the Washcloths initial infection process as having three stages: initial colonization on the pistil (st

Introduction.Improving the traction and adhesion properties of freight electric locomotives is currently an urgent issue for the domestic locomotive industry.The increase in the mass and speed of trains enables to seek new ways and possibilities for realising the maximum tractive force of freight locomotives in order to meet the requirements tops-b

Eco-physiological study indicates the Clarias batrachus is a eurythermal fish and able to tolerate the wide range of climatic conditions.The quantitative analysis of nutritional components in gonadal region, such as glucose, proteins and fats showed the variations during exposure of fish to hot and cold temperatures.The fresh water catfish exhibits

Calculations of the superfluid density in the inner crust of neutron stars using different approaches are in strong disagreement, which causes a debate on the accountability of pulsar glitches based on superfluidity.Using a simple unified model, we study the dependence on approximation Ester-C of the superfluid density in a periodic potential.In co
