Geminiviruses are known to exhibit both prokaryotic and eukaryotic features in their genomes, with the ability to express their genes and even replicate in bacterial cells.We have demonstrated previously the existence of unit-length single-stranded circular DNAs of Ageratum yellow vein virus (AYVV, a species in the genus Begomovirus, family BLANKET
One of the greatest issues nowadays is that of the urban heat island effect on the thermal conditions inside cities.The air temperature inside the city core is warmer than that in suburbs, thus deteriorating the quality of life for citizens and making outdoor spaces uncomfortable in terms of thermal comfort.This phenomenon is usually assessed in la
Turnera L.includes around 100 American species and two African ones, arranged in nine series.In this paper, the following four series embracing 21 species are revised: Annulares, Capitatae, Microphyllae and Papilliferae.Six new taxa are described: Thatschbachii, Thatschbachii var.miniata, Tmaracasana,and T.princeps of the seriesCapit
Prominent prototype-based classification (PbC) approaches, such as Prototypical Networks (ProtoNet), use the average of samples within a class as the class prototype.In these methods which we call Mean-PbC, a discriminant classifier is Cold Therapies defined based on the minimum Mahalanobis distance from class prototypes.It is well known that if th
Abstract Background At term, cervical ripening in coordination with uterine contractions becomes a prerequisite for a normal vaginal delivery.Currently, cervical ripening is considered to occur independently from uterine contractions.Many evidences suggest that cervical ripening resembles an inflammatory process.Comparatively little attention has b
