Advances in maize genomics and their value for enhancing genetic gains from breeding. [PDF]

Int J Plant Genomics, 2009
Maize is an important crop for food, feed, forage, and fuel across tropical and temperate areas of the world. Diversity studies at genetic, molecular, and functional levels have revealed that, tropical maize germplasm, landraces, and wild relatives harbor a significantly wider range of genetic variation.

Three-dimensional visualisation of traffic noise based on the Henk de-Klujijver model

Noise Mapping, 2023
Visualisation of road traffic noise is vital for traffic noise planning policies. Several factors affect the noise from road traffic with physical and environmental conditions. Collecting noise levels around the world is not a possible task.
