Gray blight (GB) is one of the most destructive diseases of tea plants, causing considerable damage and productivity losses; however, the dynamic roles of defense genes during pathogen infection remain largely unclear. To explore the numerous molecular interactions associated with GB stress in tea plants, we employed transcriptome, sRNAome and…[Read more]

Locally extracted 4D SPECT patches (three spatial plus one energy dimension) were used as input for the CNN which was trained to predict the attenuation coefficient of the corresponding central voxel of the patch. Results show that Attenuation Correction using the Ground Truth [Formula see text] maps (GT-AC) or using the CNN estimated [Formula see…[Read more]

To evaluate the performance of artificial and biological integrative sampling strategies, dissolved concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) and metals (Cu and Mn) were measured with passive sampler devices (PSD) enclosing hydrophobic and chelating phases, and Asiatic clams were transplanted to a polluted area in the Rio de la Plata.…[Read more]

Non-invasive brain stimulation did not affect performance on working memory and flexibility tasks, and effects on planning tasks were inconclusive.Patients with non-affective psychosis often lead unhealthy lifestyles. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on non-pharmacological RCTs for improvement of diet and physical activity in…[Read more]

The nature of associations between recent cannabis use and negative symptoms, positive symptoms, and neurocognitive deficits remains unclear. In a relatively large sample of well-characterized patients with first-episode psychosis, we hypothesized that, compared to first-episode patients without cannabis use in the three months prior to first…[Read more]
