Beech bark disease (BBD) is a significant threat to forests of North America and the impact BBD on radial growth in American beech substantial. We developed novel hierarchical Bayesian (HB) model simultaneously dynamics, tree growth, interaction two. Our can be adapted both emerging more mature forest–pathogen systems aid ecosystem loss predictions. Long-term data from single site minimized pot...

Diseases occur globally in most coral reef habitats whether near human population centers or remotely offshore. They generally affect a low proportion of the susceptible species, although localized outbreaks have produced significant mortalities to scleractinian corals, gorgonians, sea urchins, reef fish, sponges, algae and other coral reef organisms (Peters, 1993; Harvell et al., 1999; William...

The present work is an attempt to model, analyze, and control the flow at the base of an abruptly expanded circular duct by using design of experiments (DOE) and response surface methodology (RSM). Tiny-jets in the form of orifice were positioned at an interval of 900, 6.5 mm from the primary axis of the main jet of the nozzle. Experiments were conducted to measure two responses namely, base pr...

Rad/Rem/Rem2/Gem (RGK) proteins are Ras-like GTPases that potently inhibit all high-voltage-gated calcium (CaV1/CaV2) channels and are, thus, well-positioned to tune diverse physiological processes. Understanding how RGK proteins inhibit CaV channels is important for perspectives on their (patho)physiological roles and could advance their development and use as genetically-encoded CaV channel b...

This paper discusses the use of Box Behnken design (BBD) approach to plan the experiments for turning the yield of CVD, thickness and layer number of graphene sheets with an overall objective of optimizing the process to provide higher graphene production volume, fewer layers and thinness structure of graphene. BBD is having the maximum efficiency for an experiment involving four factors such a...

aims:Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction (BBD) can negatively affect a child's quality of life and self-confidence. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of BBD are essential to prevent secondary morbidity, affecting kidney and bladder function and mental health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bladder-intestinal disorders in children with UTIs. Methods:The present study employe...

AbstractBreast cancer is a multifactorial disease. Benign breast disease (BBD) is one of the most important risk factors for breast cancer. The etiology of BBD is unknown. It is divided into nonproliferative and proliferative diseases. The selection of studies will be based on titles, abstract screening, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality assessment. Previous studies have shown that ...

Despite significant advances in breast imaging, the ability to accurately detect Breast Cancer (BC) remains a challenge. With the discovery of key biomarkers and protein signatures for BC, proteomic technologies are currently poised to serve as an ideal diagnostic adjunct to imaging. Research studies have shown that breast tumors are associated with systemic changes in levels of both serum prot...
