CAN CAPSICUM SPP. GENOTYPES RESIST SIMULTANEOUS DAMAGE BY BOTH PHYTOPHTHORA CAPSICI AND BEMISIA TABACI? CAN NATURAL ENEMIES OF BEMISIA COMPLEMENT PLANT RESISTANCE?

Capsicum (Solanaceae) includes peppers and chilies.Phytophthora capsici (Peronosporaceae) and Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are two relevant problems in the production of this genus.Among the sustainable alternatives for disease and pest control, plant resistance and biological control stand out.The main objective of this research was to

Monitoring visitor use in parks and protected areas (PPAs) provides essential information for managers of PPAs to evaluate aspects of the Tangerine visitor experience and balance the ecological disturbance that use creates.Traditional methods for quantifying visitation and spatial use of PPAs are resource intensive and thus are conducted infrequent

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is a legume crop consumed as an indigenous vegetable in the human diet and a traditional medicinal plant with therapeutic properties.The current study highlights the cholesterol-modulating effect and underlying mechanisms of the methanol extract of Mortar Cajanus cajan L.leaves (MECC) in HepG2 cells.We found

This study proposes an implementation method of a hardware-oriented restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) without random number generators (RNGs) that employ cut-off bits, which are obtained from fixed-point binary arithmetic operations on digital hardware, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), instead of random numbers.Most FPGA circuits em

Thorough pre-release studies to determine the environmental safety of biocontrol agents and to predict their effectiveness in controlling the target weed are crucial parts of any weed biocontrol project.Over the last five to six decades, the scientific rigor of pre-release investigations has constantly improved, reflected in a continuous decrease o
