The behaviour of primary biological aerosols (PBAs) at an elevated, un-polluted North American forest site was studied using an ultra violet-light induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) measurement technique in conjunction with hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (HA-CA).Contemporaneous UV-LIF measurements were made with two wide-band integrated bio
ASHFALL DISPERSAL MAPPING OF THE 2020 TAAL VOLCANO ERUPTION USING DIWATA-2 IMAGERY FOR DISASTER ASSESSMENT
Natural disasters incur many fatalities and economic losses for vulnerable and developing countries such as the Philippines.It is crucial that during calamities, on-ground surveillance is supplemented by low-cost and time-efficient methods such as satellite remote sensing.Diwata-2 is a Philippine microsatellite specifically equipped for disaster as
Experimental detection of antioxidant and atherogenic effects of grapes seeds extracts in rabbits
The aim of this study was to determine the ability of Grapes seeds (Vitis vinifera) aqueous, proteinous, non- proteinous and alcoholic extracts as antioxidant and antiatherogenic in rabbits after exposure to 0.5% H2O2 in drinking Glass Blunts water for 30 days.The results illustrated capability of 0.5% H2O2 to initiate oxidative stress via signific
Home-Based Lower Limb Exercises for Individuals with Diabetes: A Scoping Review
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) affect millions worldwide, significantly increasing the risk of amputation, mortality, and reduced quality of life.While conventional interventions such as specialized footwear and podiatric care can mitigate ulceration risks, they do not address the biomechanical factors contributing to ulcer recurrence.Emer
BcMF26a and BcMF26b Are Duplicated Polygalacturonase Genes with Divergent Expression Patterns and Functions in Pollen Development and Pollen Tube Formation in Brassica campestris.
Polygalacturonase (PG) is one of the cell wall hydrolytic enzymes involving in pectin degradation.A comparison of two highly conserved duplicated PG genes, namely, Brassica campestris Male Fertility 26a (BcMF26a) and BcMF26b, revealed the different features of their expression patterns and functions.We found that these two genes were orthologous ge
