Abstract Background Alfalfa, a perennial, outcrossing species, is a widely planted forage legume producing highly nutritious biomass.Currently, improvement of cultivated alfalfa mainly relies on recurrent phenotypic selection.Marker assisted breeding strategies can enhance alfalfa improvement efforts, particularly if many genome-wide markers are av
Hurricane incidents have become increasingly frequent along the coastal United States and have had a negative impact on the mangrove forests and their ecosystem services across the southeastern region.Mangroves play a key role in providing coastal protection during hurricanes by attenuating storm surges and reducing erosion.However, their resilienc
The article deals with the nonlinear model of population dynamics of different ages workers in the regional economy.The model is built on the principles Buildable Christmas Ornament underlying modeling in econophysics.The authors demonstrate the complex dynamics of the model regimes that impose fundamental limits on medium- and long-term forecast o
Abstract Background Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), a super-resolution microscopy technique based on single-molecule localizations, has become popular to characterize sub-diffraction limit targets.However, due to lengthy image acquisition, STORM recordings are prone to sample drift.Existing cross-correlation or fiducial marker
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that induces electric fields in neuronal tissue, lantern modulating cortical excitability.Therapeutic applications of tDCS are rapidly expanding, and are being investigated in pediatrics for various clinical conditions.Anatomical variations are among a host o
