Traditional crop varieties are an important source of genetic diversity for crop adaptation and modern breeding.Landraces of Asian (Oryza sativa) and African (Oryza glaberrima) rice have been well studied on the continents where they were domesticated.However, their history of cultivation in northern South America is poorly understood.Here, we reve
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global health problem.Growing prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension further add on to potential increase in CKD along with many other contributing risk factors.Community knowledge regarding CKD is gaining more importance considering magnitude of disease and limited availa
In order to Washcloths achieve a shaped beam on a compact aperture and reduce the cost and the volume, a conformal slotted cavity as a feed antenna for high-power microwave using the asymmetric high-order mode is investigated.The proposed antenna working in a high-order mode has merits on reducing the complexity of a power network and the volume of
In recent years, new approaches aimed to increase the automation level of positional accuracy assessment processes for spatial data have been developed.However, in such cases, an aspect as significant as sample size has not yet been addressed.In this paper, we study the influence of sample size when estimating the planimetric positional accuracy of
