The present study GLUCOLIZER was carried out to examine the possibilities of obtaining primed seeds that maintain high germination quality and the same longevity as the untreated seeds.For Tall wheatgrass tested, we found that the desired longevity could be obtained by keeping the seeds under heat shock for a period of several hours, after a primin
Characterisation of Shigella species isolated from river catchments in the North West province of South Africa
The occurrence and distribution of Shigella species in water from the five river catchments in the North West province of South Africa were investigated.Shigella is a Gram-negative, non-motile, facultative anaerobic bacillus that causes shigellosis, an important cause of morbidity and mortality in high-risk populations (such as children, the elderl
Implementing community based inclusive development for people with disability in Latin America: a mixed methods perspective on prioritized needs and lessons learned
Abstract Background Research on the needs of people with disability is scarce, which promotes inadequate programs.Community Based Inclusive Development interventions aim to promote rights but demand a high level of community participation.This study aimed to identify prioritized needs as well as lessons learned for successful project implementation
Computational methods for detecting cancer hotspots
Cancer mutations that are recurrently observed among patients are known as hotspots.Hotspots are highly relevant because they are, presumably, likely functional.Known hotspots in BRAF, PIK3CA, TP53, KRAS, IDH1 support this idea.However, hundreds of hotspots have never been validated experimentally.The detection of hotspots nevertheless Bare End Pow
Human Vital Physiological Parameters Monitoring: A Wireless Body Area Technology Based Internet of Things
Human vital physiological parameters (HVPP) Espresso Machine (Prosumer) monitoring with embedded sensors integration has improved the smart system technology in this era of a ubiquitous platform.Several IoT-based healthcare applications have been proposed for remote health monitoring.Most of the devices developed require one on one contact with doc
