A genome-wide search was performed to identify simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci among the available sequence databases from four strains of Xylella fastidiosa (strains causing Pierce's disease, citrus variegated chlorosis, almond leaf scorch, and oleander leaf scorch). Thirty-four SSR loci were selected for SSR primer design and were validated in PCR experiments. These multilocus SSR primers, ...

Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) problems appeared due to resonance between the turbine and the series capacitor on transmission line is damped by installing superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit which the parameters are optimized by quantum behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO). The proposed objective function is comprehensive damping index (CDI) of SSR damping. To accommodate...

The starvation survival response (SSR) of Listeria monocytogenes EGD is induced under glucose- or multiple-nutrient-, but not amino-acid limitation. 0.01-0.2% of the population remain viable even after 20 d and the survivors show a reduced cell size and increased cross-protection to several environmental stresses. The development of the SSR may therefore be important in L. monocytogenes surviva...

ABSTRACT Isolates of Puccinia triticina collected from common wheat in the Central Asia countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan and the Caucasus countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia were tested for virulence to 20 isolines of Thatcher wheat with different leaf rust resistance genes and molecular genotype at 23 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci. After clone corre...

Background Eucalypts are the most widely planted hardwood trees in the world, occupying globally more than 18 million hectares, as an important source of carbon neutral renewable energy and raw material for pulp, paper and solid wood. Intensive planting programs of Eucalyptus grandis have been carried out in the Argentinian Mesopotamia. Linkage maps are useful tools for quantitative trait loci ...

Introduction Both B-mode ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) are well established procedures when diagnosing traumatic splenic ruptures (TSR). To date, there are no data about CEUS patterns in spontaneous splenic ruptures (SSR). It remains unknown whether TSR and SSR differ with respect to clinical characteristics, B-mode and CEUS characteristics. Patients and Methods Between 1...

In this paper we study some standard problems of SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar), relating to improving the detection performance of the conventional SSR and Mode S replies in SSR FRUIT environment. We present the algorithm that consists of a conventional two-dimensional CFAR BI processor combined with the estimator of the FRUIT parameters, which is necessary for automatic selecting of the a...
