Establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in plant roots can affect plant physiological and morphological characteristics and may induce tolerance to heavy metals in plants grown in polluted soils; therefore, it can play an important role in phytoremediation. In present study, to investigate the effect of mycorrhizae on alfalfa growth and Pb uptake, a factorial experiment was designed w...

Recent proposals for re-defining the roles Africa’s health workforce are a continuation of the discussions that have been held since colonial times. The proposals have centred on basing the continent’s healthcare delivery on non-physician clinicians (NPCs) who can be quickly trained and widely distributed to treat majority of the common diseases. Whilst seemingly logical, the success of these p...

In this letter, we propose a mechanism to control the magnetic properties of topological quantum material (TQM) by using magnetoelectric coupling: uses heterostructure TQM with two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric material, which can dynamically order changing polarization and induce possible phase transitions. This concept is demonstrated example bilayer MnBi2Te4 on In2Se3 or In2Te3, where direc...

We introduce a boundedness condition on the Malliavin derivative of a random variable to study subGaussian and other non-Gaussian properties of functionals of random …elds, with particular attention to the estimation of suprema. We relate the boundedness of nth Malliavin derivatives to a new class of “sub-nth Gaussian chaos” processes. An expected supremum estimation, extending the DudleyFerniq...

One of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. In order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...
