Powdery mildew, net blotch, scald, spot blotch, barley stripe, and leaf rust are important foliar fungal pathogens of barley.Fungal leaf pathogens negatively affect the yield and quality in barley plant.Virulence changes, which can occur in various ways, may render resistant plants to susceptible ones.Factors such as mutation, population size and r

In November 2009 the gall midge species Horidiplosis ficifolii Harris 2003 was detected in the Czech Republic on leaves of an ornamental Bench fig Ficus microcarpa.The insect is native to South East Asia, where it lives on the genus Ficus.No information is currently available on the prevalence of the pest in the countries of its origin.Imported Fic

We study the effects of fissioning nuclei mass- and energy-distributions on the formation of fragments for fission induced by high energy probes.A Monte Carlo code called CRISP was used for obtaining mass distributions and spectra of the fissioning nuclei for reactions induced by 660 MeV protons on 241Am and on 239Np, by 500 MeV protons on 208Pb, a

During the Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak and after evidence of its sexual transmission was obtained, concerns arose about the impact of the adverse effects of ZIKV infection on human fertility.In this study, we evaluated the clinical-laboratory aspects and testicular histopathological patterns of pubertal squirrel monkeys (Saimiri collinsi) infected w

The thermal performance of a concrete roof between the main slab (concrete slab) and secondary slab (gypsum board) has been investigated in this work with and without a ventilator.The hourly averaged climatic data (combined optical and thermal condition) of the external roof surface was used as the resource for the boundary conditions of Erbil city
