International Journal of Agronomy, 2017 Groundnut, the most important grain legume in Ghana, is largely cultivated under rainfed conditions within the Guinea savanna zone of the country. The pods and haulms are important sources of income for smallholder farmers in the region.

Farmers’ response to COVID-19 disruptions: The case of cropland allocation decision
Sustainable Futures, 2022 This study provides new evidence on the determining factors of cropland allocation decisions within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic by using the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model on 309 farm households.

Automatic Registration of TLS-TLS and TLS-MLS Point Clouds Using a Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
Sensors, 2017 Registration of point clouds is a fundamental issue in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing because point clouds scanned from multiple scan stations or by different platforms need to be transformed to a uniform coordinate reference frame.

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Formation of anisotropic Tl-1212, Tl-2212, Tl-1223 and Tl-2223 particles using aerosol flow reacted powders [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Appiled Superconductivity, 1994 Highly anisotropic particles of Tl-1212, Tl-2212, Tl-1223 and Tl-2223 superconductors were grown. The Tl-free precursor powders with the compositions Ba{sub 1}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}Ag{sub 0.37}O{sub 6} and Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}Ag{sub 0.37}O{sub 7} were prepared using an aerosol flow reactor.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2023 The study aimed at enumerating and isolating Lactobacillus from sorghum beer (Pito) which is one of the food spoilage bacteria in pito, evaluating the antibacterial potency of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and Moringa leave methanolic extract (Moringa

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
