Abstract Background Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is the seventh most important crop in the world and is mainly cultivated for its underground storage root (SR).The genetic studies of this species have been hindered by a lack of high-quality reference sequence due to its complex genome structure.Diploid Ipomoea trifida is the closest rela

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of image analysis measurements in combination with the official analytical method for the detection of constituents of animal origin in feedstuffs, in distinguishing between bovine and swine (bone containing) material.Authentic samples of controlled origin containing bovine or swine meat and bone

BackgroundMembrane proteins are the targets of 50% of drugs, although they only represent 1% of total cellular proteins.The first major bottleneck on the route to their functional and structural characterisation is their overexpression; and simply choosing the right system can involve many months of trial and error.This work is intended as a guide

In recent years, the use of drones for recreational and commercial activities has grown rapidly due to their affordability and performance.This growing use raises concerns about the threats drones pose to the security of sensitive areas such as airports, prisons, industrial and military facilities.In response to these threats, drones detection meth

We applied hierarchical cluster analysis to an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) bulk mass spectral dataset 36" Induction Cooktop collected aboard the NOAA research vessel R.H.Brown during the 2002 New England Air Quality Study off the east coast of the United States.Emphasizing the organic peaks, the cluster analysis yielded a series of cat
