Blast disease resulting from Magnaporthe oryzae fungal infection reduces annual rice yield by up to 30% globally. The wheatwin2 (wwin2) is a pathogenesis-related (PR) gene that encodes for PR-4 protein with chitinase properties capable of degrading chitin, major constituent certain cell walls. However, the potential wwin2 contribute M. resistance in unclear. This study reports construction pMDC...

Increasing the mass of a wall system as well ability to absorb energy can improve blast resistance. The role ductile materials attached externally tension side has been studied extensively ductility and In present study, use hyperelastic materials, added internally systems, was analyzed determine static resistance those systems. this paper, adding shredded rubber concrete mix replacement for co...

A practical means of reducing the impact of blast loads on buildings is to introduce a barrier wall between the explosive device and the building. The height and location of the barrier wall are key design variables in terms of effectively reducing the peak positive and negative overpressure and impulse on the building. Until recently, set-ups that included a barrier between the explosive devic...

A study was carried out at the University of Liverpool on the response of a panel/connection of a 1/4 scale stainless steel blast wall under pulse pressure loading. The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of the connection detail on the overall performance of the panel/connection system under pulse pressure loading and to develop appropriate analytical and numerical model of the bl...

blast (magnaporthe grisea) is the most important disease of rice in mazandaran province, north of iran, which causes severe damages annually on susceptible cultivars. tarom mahalli is a local aromatic cultivar with high cooking quality and marketability, but very susceptible to blast. to protect this cultivar and similar susceptible cultivars against rice blast, farmers have to use high amounts...
