Strigolactones (SLs) constitute an important class of plant hormones involved in diverse developmental activities in plant growth and host-parasite interaction.Although substantial progress has been made to understand this pathway, the mechanism of action is still elusive especially with its interaction with other phytohormones and downstream targe
When planning a series of actions, it is usually infeasible to consider all potential future sequences; instead, one must prune the decision tree.Provably optimal pruning is, however, still computationally ruinous and the specific approximations humans employ remain unknown.We designed a new sequential reinforcement-based task and showed that human
The energy absorption of concrete filled, hollow-steel bracing was analyzed respect to geometric and mechanical parameters including the width-to-thickness section bar drain board ratio, slenderness level, and strength of the steel and concrete.Local buckling and ductility were also investigated with respect to variation in the cross-section.The in
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that targets motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death within a few years of disease onset.While several genes have been linked to the inheritable, or familial, form of ALS, much less is known about the cause(s) of sporadic ALS, which accounts for approximately 90% of ALS
In the last two decades, arid and click here semi-arid regions of China suffered rapid changes in the Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) due to increasing demand on food, resulting from growing population.In the process of this study, we established the land use/cover classification in addition to remote sensing characteristics.This was done by analysis
