The modulation transfer function (MTF) quantitatively describes the ability of an optical or imaging system to reproduce contrast at various spatial frequencies.The ISO 12233 edge-based method adopted diagonal MTF measurement for sampled imaging systems by analyzing the gradient of a slanted edge captured by the system and estimating MTF as a funct

Potato Rpi-blb2 encodes a protein with a Defrost Element Kit coiled-coil-nucleotide binding site and leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) motif that recognizes the Phytophthora infestans AVRblb2 effector and triggers hypersensitive cell death (HCD).To better understand the components required for Rpi-blb2-mediated HCD in plants, we used virus-induced g

Lentil cultivation is often hampered by aphid population outspreads with detrimental impacts to crop development and production, challenging food safety and agriculture sustainability.The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) is a significant threat to lentil in the temperate zone rainfed systems.A set of management practices including resilient cultivar

Down Parasols syndrome (DS) is considered the best known and most frequent intellectual disability.Cognitive development usually occurs in a similar way to the sequence produced in typical development; while the linguistic development is lagging behind it.However, it is expected that language development will benefit from logopedic intervention dur
