Red chili pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most widely cultivated commodities in Indonesia. However, until now production was never covering public’s demand. plants are susceptible to disease caused by infection Fusarium oxyporum (Fox) fungi, causing a decrease plants’ production. Fungicide usage control Fox can cause resistance pathogen. The eco-friendly way could be achieved utilizin...

Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) is a recently developed molecular marker technique that is stable, simple, reliable, and achieves moderate to high numbers of codominant markers. This study is the first to apply SRAP markers in a mammal, namely the Arctic fox. In order to investigate the genetic diversity of the Arctic fox and to provide a reference for use of its germplasm, we an...

An Allee effect (AE) occurs in populations when individuals suffer a decrease in fitness at low densities. If a fitness component is reduced (component AE), per capita population growth rates may decline as a consequence (demographic AE) and extinction risk is increased. The island fox (Urocyon littoralis) is endemic to six of the eight California Channel Islands. Population crashes have coinci...

This paper proposes a novel nature-inspired optimization algorithm called the Fox optimizer (FOX) which mimics foraging behavior of foxes in nature when hunting preys. The is based on techniques for measuring distance between fox and its prey to execute an efficient jump. After presenting mathematical models FOX, five classical benchmark functions CEC2019 test are used evaluate it’s performance...

There are increasing opportunities for robots to work amongst animals in agricultural systems. One potential application is in herding animals prior to catching or transportation. An effective herding robot must be able to interrupt ongoing animal behaviour without causing panic or flight reactions. The extent to which different approaching stimuli interrupted the feeding behaviour of pairs of ...

INTRODUCTION Bevacizumab addiction to triplet chemotherapy, according to FIr-B/FOx schedule, as first-line treatment in young-elderly metastatic colorectal CANCER (MCRC) patients may be more effective. Tailored treatments show worse clinical outcome in unfit patients. METHODS Elderly patients were clinically evaluated according to age and comorbidity (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale) to selec...
