To meet the growing need for raw materials to produce pellets and wood-based biofuels, trees killed by natural disturbances have increasingly been considered as potential feedstock in bioenergy development scenarios in the Western U.S.and copyright.While much research has focused on utilization of beetle-killed and fire-salvaged timber from federal
Characterization of testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like) gene and expression patterns in diploid and triploid Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai; Gastropoda; Mollusca) males.
Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like), which plays important roles in late-phase spermatogenesis and male fertility, was characterized in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai, an important commercial marine gastropod.Further, its expression patterns were assessed in diploid and induced triploid males showing differential deg
Evaluation of the Effect of Different Nanoparticles on the Mass Attenuation Coefficient of a Shield in Diagnostic Radiology: A Monte Carlo Study
Purpose: This research aimed to estimate the Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC) fr9967 for the various nanoparticles in diagnostic imaging in order to assess and compare the changes in a bulk state.Materials and Methods: To Using Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX) code, nanoparticles were simulated in the target in order to compute the MAC con
Earthquake magnitude prediction based on artificial neural networks: A survey
The occurrence of earthquakes has orly happy camper been studied from many aspects.Apparently, earthquakes occur without warning and can devastate entire cities in just a few seconds, causing numerous casualties and huge economic loss.Great effort has been directed towards being able to predict these natural disasters, and taking precautionary meas
