MITIGATION OF SALINITY STRESS IN PLANTS BY ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL SYMBIOSIS: CURRENT UNDERSTANDING AND NEW CHALLENGES

Mitigation of Salinity Stress in Plants by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis: Current Understanding and New Challenges

Modern agriculture is facing twin challenge of ensuring global food security and executing it in a sustainable manner.However, the rapidly expanding salinity stress in cultivable areas poses a major peril to crop yield.Among various biotechnological techniques being used to reduce the negative effects of salinity, the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal

Predisposing factors of mycotic infections in COVID-19 patients

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) has led to considerable hike in hospitalizations for pneumonia with multiorgan disease requiring immediate hospital care, maintenance of oxygen saturation level, and severe cases requiring mechanical ventilation.This opens the window of opportunity to microscopic organisms such as different species o

A magnetic-field independent approach for strongly anisotropic equations arising plasma-edge transport simulations

[Summary] The control of the power exhaust in tokamaks is still an open issue for Theatre Box’s the future fusion operations.The heat loads on divertor and limiter PFCs is largely determined by the physics of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), and therefore it depends mainly on the geometry of the magnetic surfaces and on the geometry of wall components

Oblique lateral interbody fusion combined with different internal fixations for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine disease: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Little is known about the biomechanical performance of different internal fixations in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF).Here, finite element (FE) analysis was used to describe the biomechanics of various internal fixations and compare and explore the stability of each fixation.Methods CT scans of a patient with lumbar dege

Use of High-Resolution Land Cover Maps to Support the Maintenance of the NWI Geospatial Dataset: A Case Study in a Coastal New Orleans Region

The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) is the most comprehensive wetland geospatial dataset in the United States.However, it can be time-consuming and costly to maintain.This study introduces automated algorithms and methods to support NWI maintenance.Through a wall-to-wall comparison between NWI and Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) datasets,
