Fire is an important agent of disturbance in tropical savannas, but relatively few studies have analyzed how soil-and-litter dwelling arthropods respond to fire disturbance despite the critical role these organisms play in nutrient cycling and other biogeochemical processes.Following the incursion of a fire into a woodland savanna ecological reserv
Abstract Background Gene-set analysis tools, which make use of curated sets of molecules grouped based on their shared functions, aim to identify which gene-sets are over-represented in the set of features that have been associated with a given trait of interest.Such tools are frequently used in gene-centric approaches derived from RNA-sequencing o
In October 2010, the NCSU Libraries debuted its first public touchscreen information kiosk, designed to provide on-demand access to useful and commonly consulted real-time displays of library information.This article presents a description of the In-Line Blower hardware and software development process, as well as the rationale behind a variety of
In view of the increase in human activities, climate change and related hazards, land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is becoming a fundamental part of the process of any development or hazard prevention project.From this perspective, we propose a new approach for mapping LULC using Machine learning algorithms by comparing the Switch result of fi
In this paper, we concentrate on a comparison of plant and animal-parasitic nematodes, to gain insight into the factors that influence the acquisition of the drug resistance by nematodes.Comparing nematode parasite of domestic animals and cultivated plants, it appears that drug resistance threatens only domestic animal production.Does the paucity o
