Identification of genomic regions associated with the plasticity of carbon 13 ratio in soybean [PDF]
Improving water use efficiency (WUE) for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] through selection for high carbon isotope (C13) ratio may increase drought tolerance, but increased WUE may limit growth in productive environments.

Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Net Form Net Blotch Resistance in Barley at Seedling and Adult Plant Stages [PDF]
Net form net blotch (NFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. sp. teres (Ptt) is an emerging barley disease in several countries. It causes severe yield and quality losses due to infection of leaves, kernels, and stems.

Sea State Monitoring by Ship Motion Measurements Onboard a Research Ship in the Antarctic Waters [PDF]
A parametric wave spectrum resembling procedure is applied to detect the sea state parameters, namely the wave peak period and significant wave height, based on the measurement and analysis of the heave and pitch motions of a vessel in a seaway, recorded

Motions Assessment Using a Time Domain Approach for a Research Ship in Antarctic Waters
An approach combining frequency and time domain analysis is introduced in this study for ship motions assessment. The open-source NEMOH code is utilized to compute the excitation forces and the hydrodynamic coefficients, while heave and pitch motions ...

Food Safety Aspects of Breeding Maize to Multi-Resistance against the Major (Fusarium graminearum, F. verticillioides, Aspergillus flavus) and Minor Toxigenic Fungi (Fusarium spp.) as Well as to Toxin Accumulation, Trends, and Solutions—A Review [PDF]
Maize is the crop which is most commonly exposed to toxigenic fungi that produce many toxins that are harmful to humans and animals alike. Preharvest grain yield loss, preharvest toxin contamination (at harvest), and storage loss are estimated to be ...
