Out study on genetic diversity was conducted with six chilli genotypes with inter- and intra-specific cross varieties of the three most popular chilli species (Capsicum annuum L., Capsicum chinense Jacq., and Capsicum frutescens L.). Twelve quantitative characters, viz. plant height (cm), primary branches, secondary branches, number of flowers, num...

Working memory requires the brain to switch between cognitive states and activity patterns. Here, the authors show that the steering of these neural network dynamics is influenced by dopamine D1- and D2-receptor function and altered in schizophrenia.

The Dara copper mineralization is one of more than 15 copper occurrences distributed in the Neoproterozoic crust of the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The mineralization is hosted by calc-alkaline diorite and granodiorite rocks of I-type affinity and occurs as disseminated grains within NW trending veins and shear zones. Hydrothermal and supergene altera...

While the global efficiency measures how easy it is to travel or exchange information concurrently between any two nodes in a network, this might be difficult to compute when networks are not embedded into space and edge weights do not encode physical distances, but instead represent flows. Here, the authors propose and analyse an efficiency measur...

L∞ algebras describe the underlying algebraic structure of many consistent classical field theories. In this work we analyze the algebraic structure of Gauged Double Field Theory in the generalized flux formalism. The symmetry transformations consist of a generalized deformed Lie derivative and double Lorentz transformations. We obtain all the non-...

Students’ experience is used in empirical software engineering research as well as in software engineering education to group students in either homogeneous or heterogeneous groups. To do so, students are commonly asked to self-rate their experience, as self-rated experience has been shown to be a good predictor for performance in programming tasks...

The article represents the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and flow cytometry study of A-549 (human lung carcinoma) cellular uptake of unmodified Pr3+:LaF3 nanoplates and nanospheres after 2, 10, and 24 h of nanoparticles exposure. The studied Pr3+:LaF3 (CPr = 1 mol.%) nanoplates (length = 64.0 ± 1.0 nm) and nanospheres (diameter = 13.0 0.4 ...

In this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite adsorbent was prepared from carbon nanotube with chitosan and cross-linked with citric acid using a facile sonochemical technique. This nanocomposite was characterized using VSM, FTIR, FESEM, HRTEM, and XRD analyses and then examined for Cu(II) ions removal from water solution. The results showed that i...

Using viral metagenomics, viral nucleic acid in 30 respiratory secretion samples collected from children with unknown etiological acute respiratory disease were investigated. Sequences showing similarity to human parainfluenza virus 1, anellovirus, bocavirus, coxsackievirus A4, human parechovirus (HPeV), and alphaflexivirus were recovered from thes...

The arrangements of defect lines in liquid crystal blue phases provide promising templates for photonic crystals. Here Liu et al. investigate in detail how inter-phase transitions proceed, by intercepting nucleation with on-demand cross linking of a supporting polymer matrix.
