Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolate (Lamb.) Hook) individual tree parameters extraction is important for scientific forest management.However, high-precision parameters extraction by field investigation or spaceborne optical remote sensing is difficult when the forest is dense and the terrain is complex.This article proposes a framework for extrac
Scedosporium apiospermum, Scedosporium aurantiacum, Scedosporium minutisporum and Lomentospora prolificans: a comparative study of surface molecules produced by conidial and germinated conidial cells
BACKGROUND Scedosporium/Lomentospora species are opportunistic mould pathogens, presenting notable antifungal resistance.OBJECTIVES/METHODS We analysed the conidia and germinated conidia of Climbers S.apiospermum (Sap), S.aurantiacum (Sau), S.minutisporum (Smi) and L.prolificans (Lpr) by scanning electron microscopy and exposition of surface molecu
Extreme springing response statistics of a tethered platform by deconvolution
The Sunglasses research examines the motion response and hydrodynamic wave loads of a deep-water Tension Leg Platform (TLP), emphasising the impacts of the wave sum frequency on the restrained modes of heave, roll, and pitch.The stochastic TLP structural reaction in a random sea state was precisely computed using a Volterra series representation of
Lignin concentrations in phloem and outer bark are not associated with resistance to mountain pine beetle among high elevation pines.
A key component in understanding plant-insect interactions is the nature of host defenses.Research on defense traits among Pinus species has focused on specialized metabolites and axial resin ducts, but the role of lignin in defense within diverse systems is unclear.We investigated lignin levels in the outer bark and phloem of P.longaeva, P.balfour
