Marine reserves are an important management tool for conserving local biodiversity and protecting fragile ecosystems such as seagrass that provide significant ecological functions and services to people and the marine environment.With humans placing ever-growing pressure on seagrass habitats, marine reserves also provide an important reference from
Defined as increased sensitivity to losses, loss aversion is often conceptualized as a cognitive bias.However, findings that loss aversion has an attentional or emotional regulation component suggest that it may instead reflect differences in information processing.To distinguish these alternatives, we applied the drift-diffusion model (DDM) to cho
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is a system that allows information interaction between machines independently and automatically through a network without human intervention.However, when massive M2M devices access the network, they can quickly scramble preambles, and induce significant network congestion.Specially, when the massive M2M devi
BackgroundToxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan, utilizes dense granule proteins to modulate host cell processes.Dense granule protein 23 (GRA23) facilitates molecular trafficking between the parasitophorous vacuole and host cell cyto-plasm, though its specific host protein interactions remain poorly characterized.MethodsThis study
Anecdotal evidence identified a change in the reaction of the resistant lentil cv Nipper to ascochyta blight in South Australia in 2010 and subsequent seasons, leading to infection.This study investigated field reactions of lentil cultivars against Ascochyta GRMNEMA-75 lentis and the pathogenic variability of the A.lentis population in southern Aus
