1. Plants interact with many organisms, such as microbes and herbivores, and these interactions are likely to affect the establishment and spread of plants. In the context of plant invasions, mycorrhizal fungi and constitutive and induced resistance of plants against herbivores have received attention independently of each other. However, plants are frequently involved in complex multi-trophic ...

In this work, we present coding techniques that enable progressive transmission when trellis coded quantization (TCQ) is applied to wavelet coefficients. A method for approximately inverting TCQ in the absence of least significant bits is developed. Results are presented using different rate allocation strategies and different entropy coders. The proposed wavelet-TCQ coder yields excellent codi...

This paper considers the joint problem of dirty-paper and Wyner-Ziv coding with partial host information at the receiver. The rate-distortion and the capacity expressions have been derived for the Gaussian case. It is shown that the availability of the partial host information to the receiver has positive effects to the compression performance and the overall capacity. Moreover, a practical cod...

Data protection specialists need flexible software tools for the exploratory use of protection methods to generate high quality confidential data. Microdata protection is widely used and is often the only possible way to provide data to both researchers and users. In this paper we present a methodological and computational framework for the generation of anonymised microdata and give insights t...

Some members of Korea Veritas Doctors COVID-19 analyzed vaccines samples, blood urine foot bath sitz and skin extract samples from vaccinated unvaccinated subjects. Among the objects were self-assembling micro-sized particles, probable Graphene Oxide (GO), strands materials diverse structures (probably small GO particles). Intermittently self-vibrating (probable particles) in injected presented...

BACKGROUND Some studies have demonstrated dexmedetomidine has anti-inflammatory effect on septic rats. However, the mechanism of how dexmedetomidine exerts these effects is still remained unknown. This study was designed to investigate the mechanism of how dexmedetomidine inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators in cecal ligation and puncturinduced septic rats. METHODS 48 Sprague-Daw...

Background: The American foulbrood disease (AFB), caused by Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae, is one of the main plagues affecting honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies, and it has a high negative impact on beekeepers worldwide. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this research was to describe the evidence of Paenibacillus larvae larvae contamination of honey bee colonies, in the East Azerbaijan Province...
