Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina K. Hara, may cause a significant yield loss to soybean growers in regions with a warm and humid climate. Two soybean accessions, PI 594891 and PI 594774, were identified to carry a high level of resistance similar to that conditioned by the Rcs3 gene in 'Davis'. Previously, we reported that the resistance to FLS in these two plant ...

OBJECTIVE Pressure injuries (PI) are largely preventable and can be viewed as an adverse outcome of a healthcare admission, yet they affect millions of people and consume billions of dollars in healthcare spending. The existing literature in Australia presents a patchy picture of the economic burden of PI on society and the health system. The aim of the present study was to provide a more compr...

In 1321N1 astrocytoma cells, heterotrimeric G-protein-coupled receptors that activate phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta) isoforms via G(q), induced a prolonged activation of protein kinase B (PKB) after a short delay. For example, the effect of carbachol acting on M3 muscarinic receptors is blocked by wortmannin, suggesting it is mediated via a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI...

The alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha 1 AT) Pi phenotypes have been determined by isoelectric focusing in a series of 228 patients having a histologically diagnosed malignant lymphoma and in 250 healthy controls. The Pi MZ phenotype occurred in 13 patients with lymphoma (5 . 8%) and in five of 250 healthy individuals (2%). Furthermore, one patient with a Pi SS and three patients with an abnormal unkno...

Heterodera glycines is the most damaging root pathogen of soybean in the United States. Plant introduction (PI) 90.763 is resistant to both races 3 and 5, whereas PI 424.595 is resistant only to race 5. Genetic relationships in these PI lines for resistance to H. glycines are not known. Crosses between PI 90.763 and PI 424.595 and susceptible cv. Essex were studied in the F, F, and F generation...

A search for time-dependent violation of the charge-parity symmetry in $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$ and \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays is performed at LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded from 2015 to 2018 a centre-of-mass energy 13 TeV, corresponding an integrated luminosity 6 fb$^{-1}$. The $D^0$ meson required originate $D^*(2010)^+ D^0 \pi^+$ decay, such that its flavour production identif...

The notions of nil, nilpotent or PI-rings (= rings satisfying a polynomial identity) play an important role in the ring theory (see e.g. [8], [11], [20]). Banach algebras with these properties have been studied considerably less and the existing results are scattered in literature. The only exception is the work of Krupnik [13], where the Gelfand theory of Banach PI-algebras is presented. Howev...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of maternal serum placental protein 13 (PP-13) measurement and uterine artery Doppler during first-trimester screening in the prediction of early pre-eclampsia. METHODS This was a nested case-control prospective study of pregnancies at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks of gestation. The pulsatility index (PI) of blood flow in the uterine arteries and the maternal serum...

We report preliminary data from a study of selfvoice identification in children with phonological impairment (PI), where results from 13 children with PI are compared to results from a group of children with typical speech. No difference between the two groups was found, suggesting that a phonological impairment does not affect children’s ability to recognize their recorded voices as their own....

A K(pi)=13+, 280 ns four-quasiparticle isomer in the odd-odd nucleus 174Lu has been identified and characterized. The isomer decays to both K(pi)=7(+) and K(pi)=0(+) rotational bands obtained from the parallel and antiparallel coupling of the proton 7/2+[404] and neutron 7/2+[633] orbitals. K mixing caused by particle-rotation coupling explains the anomalously fast transition rates to the 7+ ba...
