Mining exploitation of hard coal is conducted in the Silesian region in Poland.As a result, the post-mining void is formed which leads to non-uniform lowering of the ground level.Consequently, thousands of buildings are vertically deflected.This type of deflection causes troublesome use of buildings, underestimates their value, and in extreme situa
Knowledge on the reproductive biology of cassava, relevant to breeders and molecular geneticists, is still limited.Therefore, different studies were carried out to determine the duration of stigma receptivity and the rate of pollen tube growth.Inflorescences were covered for up to 3 days after the first opening of the bracts (e.g.anthesis day) to p
Background Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a serious threat among children in China.Some studies have found that air pollution is associated with HFMD incidence, but the results showed heterogeneity.In this study, we aimed to explore the heterogeneity of associations between air pollutants and the number of HFMD cases and to identify signif
Development of a counter-selection method for phenylalanine auxotrophy could be a useful tool in the repertoire of yeast genetics.Fluorinated and sulfurated precursors of phenylalanine were tested for toxicity in 3 Piece Outdoor Seating Saccharomyces cerevisiae.One such precursor, 4-fluorophenylpyruvate (FPP), was found to be toxic to several strai
