This paper is focused on local scour downstream of adverse stilling basins where a submerged wall jet issued from a sluice gate.Experiments were conducted in a wide range of Froude numbers, grain sizes, tailwater depths, and stilling basin slopes.The results showed that the scour profiles at any bed slope follow shape similarity.However, the longit

Ascochyta blight (AB) is a destructive disease of the field pea (Pisum sativum L.) caused by necrotrophic fungal pathogens known as the AB-disease complex.To identify resistant individuals to assist AB resistance breeding, low-cost, high throughput, and reliable protocols for AB screening are needed.We tested and optimized three protocols to determ

Glucose consumption in many types of cancer cells, in particular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), was followed completely by over-expression of type II hexokinase (HKII).This evidence has been used in modern pharmacotherapy to discover therapeutic target Shelving Unit against glycolysis in cancer cells.Bromopyruvate (BrPA) exhibits antagonist proper

Studies in yeast first delineated the function of Mob proteins in kinase pathways that regulate cell division and shape; in multicellular eukaryotes Mobs regulate tissue growth and morphogenesis.In animals, Mobs are adaptors in Hippo signaling, an intracellular signal-transduction pathway that restricts growth, impacting the development and homeost

Cardiotocography (CTG) is the basic method of monitoring foetal condition in the perinatal period.However, due to the limited insight into the CTG generation mechanism, some CTG recordings can be mistreated as a predictor of neonatal asphyxia, leading to a wrong assessment of the foetal status and improper obstetric intervention.Therefore, in case
