GENETIC STRUCTURE AND SEED-MEDIATED DISPERSAL RATES OF AN ENDANGERED SHRUB IN A FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPE: A CASE STUDY FOR JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS IN NORTHWESTERN EUROPE

Abstract Background Population extinction risk in a fragmented landscape is related to the differential ability of the species to spread its genes across the landscape.The impact of landscape fragmentation on plant population dynamics will therefore vary across different spatial scales.We quantified successful seed-mediated dispersal of the dioecio

Dengue is currently one of the most important arbovirus infections worldwide.Early diagnosis is important for Cutters disease outcome, particularly for those afflicted with the severe forms of infection.The goal of this work was to identify conserved and polymorphic linear B-cell Dengue virus (DENV) epitopes that could be used for diagnostic purpos

Context.MEN 2B syndrome is characterized by the presence of medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, mucosal neuromas, marfanoid features, and skeletal abnormalities like kyphoscoliosis, joint laxity, pes cavus, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in a minority; we present the case of a young female who was brought to medical attention

A new multicylinder microchamber reactor is designed on autothermal reforming of methane for hydrogen production, and its performance and thermal behavior, that is, based on the reaction mechanism, is numerically investigated by varying the cylinder radius, cylinder spacing, and cylinder layout.The results show that larger cylinder radius can promo
