The use of unmanned aerial spray systems (UASS) has increased owing to their many advantages. However, studies related a standardized method evaluate the performance UASS are lacking. Therefore, in present study, quantitative analytical using food dye tracer was compared with image analysis method, and effects experimental conditions on deposition were assessed. Concordance between results anal...

Sulfur, organic matter, and inoculation with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are considered as amendments to increase the availability of phosphorus from rock phosphate. The present study was conducted to evaluate the best combination of sulfur, vermicompost, and Thiobacillus thiooxidans inoculation with rock phosphate from Yazd province for direct application to agricultural lands in Iran. For such ...

Experimental evolution paired with modern sequencing can be a powerful approach to identify the mechanisms by which bacteria adapt to discrete environmental conditions found in nature or during infections. We used this approach to identify mechanisms enabling biofilm specialists of the opportunistic respiratory pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia to regain planktonic fitness. Seven mutants produc...

In this paper, we propose a Simple Wireless transmission System using common approach Sensor Platform called The wireless based Patient Sensor platform (WSP, Sensor Node) which has remote access capability. The goals of the WSP are to establish: Standard sensor node (System on module), a common software .The proposed platform architecture (Sensor Node) offers flexibility, easy customization for...

All mobile stations (STAs) in IEEE 802.11 infrastructure wireless local area networks (IWLAN) are coordinated by an access point (AP). Within the 2.4 GHz unlicensed industry, science, and medicine (ISM) band defined in the IEEE 802.11 2.4 GHz physical layer (PHY) specifications, three channels are available for concurrently transferring data packets at the coverage area of an AP. In most of sma...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There is limited knowledge about the prevalence of pain and its relation to comorbidities, medication, and certain lifestyle factors in older adults. To address this limitation, this cross-sectional study examined the spreading of pain on the body in a sample of 6611 subjects ≥65 years old (mean age = 75.0 years; standard deviation [SD] = 7.7) living in southeastern Swe...

Using 51 years (1960–2010) of observations from meteorological stations in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, including atmospheric visibility as a proxy for aerosol concentration, relative humidity, air temperature, wind speed and FNL reanalysis data (1°×1°) pressure wind, altitude each station, linear trend multivariate fitting approach was used to explore effects large topography on environment r...

Neuroendocrine specific protein or reticulon 1 (NSP/RTN1) was identified as a putative ethanol-regulated gene using mRNA differential display in mice genetically selected for severe ethanol withdrawal (withdrawal seizure-prone, WSP). One transcript of RTN1 (3.0 kb) showed a statistically significant increase (13%) in relative abundance in whole brain of ethanol-treated WSP mice but not in mice ...

The transition from medical student to junior doctor is well recognised to be a difficult and stressful period. To ease this transition, most UK universities have a work-shadowing period (WSP), during which students can learn practical skills needed for forthcoming employment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the WSP at Queen's University Belfast, and gain the views of both students and Fo...

Environmental concerns about phosphorus (P) losses from animal agriculture have led to interest in dietary strategies to reduce the concentration and solubility of P in manures and litters. To address the effects of dietary available phosphorus (AvP), calcium (Ca), and phytase on P excretion in broilers, 18 dietary treatments were applied in a randomized complete block design to each of four re...
