ABSTRACT Plant viruses cause significant crop losses, a situation that could worsen due to anthropogenic activities driving global climate change, one factor of which is the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This study assessed the impact of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2, 1000 vs. 400 ppm) on two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris

Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...

Assessment of predicted versus measured thermal comfort and optimal comfort ranges in the outdoor environment in the temperate climate of Glasgow, UK [PDF]
In a warming world, the risk of overheating is significant in temperate climate areas such as Glasgow, UK where adaptation to overheating is low. An easy-to-use thermal comfort evaluation is therefore a necessary first step towards developing effective ...

ABSTRACT Background Biological grafts are proposed as an alternative to synthetic grafts in sacrocolpopexy (SC) to reduce complications such as graft exposure and immunologic reactions. However, concerns remain long‐term durability. This systematic review and meta‐analysis assess recurrence rates and graft‐related complications (GRC) in minimally ...
