This study focuses on the development of novel evaluation methods for the analysis of thin carbon reinforced concrete (CRC) structures.CRC allows for the exploration of slender components and innovative construction techniques due to its high tensile strength.In this contribution, the authors have extended the analysis of CRC shells from existing r
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression by translational repression or target mRNA degradation.Regulatory elements in miRNA promoters are less well studied, but may reveal a link between their expression and a specific cell type.Results To explore this link in myeloid cells, miRNA expressi
Dictyostelium amoebae faced with starvation trigger a developmental program during which many cells aggregate and form fruiting bodies that consist of a ball of spores held aloft by a thin stalk.This developmental strategy is open to several forms of exploitation, including the remarkable case of Dictyostelium caveatum, which, even when it constitu
AbstractCereals are important in meeting the security needs of households and also as an industrial crop for the poultry and brewery industries.In recent times, climate change has been one of the great constraints to crop production and productivity including cereals.Among the various adaptation strategies is the choice and diversification of crops
