EXPLORING THE GENETIC VARIATION OF STRIPE RUST FOLIAR AND HEAD INFECTION IN EGYPTIAN WHEAT AS AN EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Exploring the Genetic Variation of Stripe Rust Foliar and Head Infection in Egyptian Wheat as an Effect of Climate Change

Wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend f.sp.tritici; Pst) is a severe disease that affects wheat-growing areas worldwide.In the last few years, Pst head infection (PstHI) was recorded to cause severe yield damage in Egypt.Little information is known about PstHI.In the current study, a set of 34 Egyptian cultivars were evaluated for their P

Kinematic analysis quantifies gait abnormalities associated with lameness in broiler chickens and identifies evolutionary gait differences.

This is the first time that gait characteristics of broiler (meat) chickens have been compared with their progenitor, jungle fowl, and the first kinematic study to report a link between broiler gait parameters and defined lameness scores.A commercial motion-capturing system recorded three-dimensional temporospatial information during walking.The hy

Design and Performance of Test Cells as an Energy Evaluation Model of Facades in a Mediterranean Building Area

The current European energy policies have an influence on the need to rehabilitate the housing stock in order to meet the objectives of the European Union.Most of this housing stock was built without any type of energy regulation in adverse technical and economic conditions and thus is now energetically obsolete.The major rehabilitation effort requ

Increasing Efficiency of Nautical Chart Production and Accessibility to Marine Environment Data through an Open-Science Compilation Workflow

Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) data are essential for safe maritime navigation and have multiple other uses in a wide range of enterprises.Charts are relied upon to be as accurate and as up-to-date as possible by the vessels moving vast amounts of products to global ports each year.However, cartographic generalization processes for updating an

Interactive proteomics: what lies ahead?

Interactive proteomics addresses the physical associations among proteins and establishes global, disease-, and pathway-specific protein interaction networks.The inherent chemical and structural diversity of proteins, their different expression levels, and their distinct subcellular localizations pose unique challenges for the exploration of these
