Integrating High throughput Sequencing into Survey Design Reveals Turnip Yellows Virus and Soybean Dwarf Virus in Pea (Pisum Sativum) in the United Kingdom

Viruses, 2021
There is only limited knowledge of the presence and incidence of viruses in peas within the United Kingdom, therefore high-throughput sequencing (HTS) in combination with a bulk sampling strategy and targeted testing was used to determine the virome in ...

Locating Sand

The Extractive Industries and Society, 2023
Sand extraction is quickly gaining attention both in the academic and policy communities. However, we lack grounded understandings of the multiple realities and impacts of sand extractions across the Global South. This special issue aims to provide a jumping-off point towards both empirically and conceptually sophisticated work on sand.

Using photoelectron spectroscopy to measure resonant inelastic X-ray scattering: a computational investigation

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2022
Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) has become an important scientific tool. Nonetheless, conventional high-resolution (few hundred meV or less) RIXS measurements, especially in the soft X-ray range, require low-throughput grating spectrometers ...

Optical isomers of chloropropanediols: mechanisms of their formation and decomposition in protein hydrolysates

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2002
Protein hydrolysates produced by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis were analysed for 3-chloropropane-1,2-diol and its enantiomers. It was found that (R)-3-chloropropane-1,2-diol and (S)-3-chloropropane-1,2-diol were present in the hydrolysates in equimolar ...
