Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is the causative agent of chytridiomycosis, a fungal skin disease in amphibians and driver of worldwide amphibian declines.We focussed on the early stages of infection by Bd in 3 amphibian species with a differential susceptibility to chytridiomycosis. Skin explants of Alytes muletensis, Litoria caerulea and Xenopus leavis were exposed to Bd in an Ussing cham...

in western canada, durum wheat cultivars (triticum durum) have low to moderate lev-els of seed dormancy and are susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting. the aim of this study was to evaluate the dormancy level of canadian durum wheat cultivars and to identify tetraploid wheat accessions with elevated levels of seed dormancy. first, the level of seed dormancy and length of after-ripening of 17 nort...

In this note, we introduce the concept of a fuzzy filter of a BLalgebra,with respect to a t-norm briefly, T-fuzzy filters, and give some relatedresults. In particular, we prove Representation Theorem in BL-algebras. Thenwe generalize the notion of a fuzzy congruence (in a BL-algebra) was definedby Lianzhen et al. to a new fuzzy congruence, specially with respect to a tnorm.We prove that there i...

We introduce the notions of T-dual Rickart and strongly T-dual Rickart modules. We provide several characterizations and investigate properties of each of these concepts. It is shown that every free (resp. finitely generated free) $R$-module is T-dual Rickart if and only if $overline{Z}^2(R)$ is a  direct summand of $R$ and End$(overline{Z}^2(R))$ is a semisimple (resp. regular) ring. It is sho...
