Blast, Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc., is one of the most destructive diseases of rice worldwide and canresult in significant reductions in yield. The use of resistant cultivars is the most economical and effectiveway of controlling rice blast. A variety of DNA markers, including plant defense-related candidategene markers are available for genetic characterization and molec...

Extensive research has been focused on the progressive collapse analysis of buildings and most of them are based on the alternative path method (APM) with sudden removal of one or several columns. However, in this method the damage of adjacent elements of removed columns under blast conditions was ignored and this issue can lead to an incorrect prediction of progressive collapse. Therefore, in ...

The widespread detection of 60Fe in geological and lunar archives provides compelling evidence for recent nearby supernova explosions within $\sim 100$ pc around 3 Myr 7 ago. blasts from these had a profound effect on the heliosphere. We perform new calculations to study compression heliosphere due blast. Assuming steady but non-isotropic solar wind, we explore range properties appropriate dist...
