This laboratory experimental program investigated the impact of variations in the expansive mineral content, the grain size distribution of employed bentonite, the initial dry density and the selected hydration path on the water retention characteristics and swelling properties of processed Callovo-Oxfordian claystone and its mixtures with MX80 ben
The present paper examines, describes and documents country-specific trends in under-five mortality rates (i.e., mortality among children under five years of age) in Greens the 1990s.Our analysis updates previous studies by UNICEF, the World Bank and the United Nations.It identifies countries and WHO regions where sustained improvement has occurred
Drought stress affects growth and productivity significantly in chickpea.An integrated multi-omics analysis can provide a better molecular-level understanding of drought stress tolerance.In the present study, comparative transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analyses of two chickpea genotypes with contrasting responses to drought stress, ICC 4958
Metarhizium anisopliae is a well-studied entomopathogenic fungus that is widely used in biological control programs.The presence of polymycoviruses in this fungus is common, but their effects on fungal development and stress tolerance are not well understood.In this study, we report the discovery of a novel double-stranded RNA virus, named Metarhiz
