Asian soybean rust is the major crop disease and the management of the use of the fungicide is important for effective control.The objective of this work was to evaluate the management of fungicides with sequential applications to control Asian soybean rust.The experimental design used was a randomized block with four replications and eight Mud Fla

Abstract In Kudzu Root the debate about phenomenal unity, the assumption that consciousness appears phenomenally unified is generally taken for granted.Based on this, most debates have focused on whether consciousness is in fact unified or whether it merely appears to be.Here, I object to the premise of this debate by questioning the assumption tha

Patients receiving B-cell-depleting therapies (BCDT) are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19.Passive antibody Knit Tops therapy (PAT), including COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) and monoclonal antibodies (mAb), may be an effective treatment in this population.Real-world data on PAT effectiveness are limited.To evaluate response to PAT measur

Herein, we describe a new protocol for the silane-based surface modification of quartz substrates for the immobilization of hexa-histidine-tagged heat shock protein 10.This molecule is an attractive biomarker for the detection of ovarian cancer, particularly for possible early-stage diagnosis.The surface chemistry we have described is used for a st
