Sexual selection and aerodynamic forces affecting structural properties of the flight feathers of birds are poorly understood.Here, we compared the structural features of the innermost primary wing feather (P1) and the sexually dimorphic outermost (Ta6) and monomorphic second outermost (Ta5) tail feathers of barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) from a R
BackgroundAnoikis is a programmed cell death process that was proven to be associated with cancer.Uroepithelial carcinoma of the bladder (BLCA) is a malignant disease of the urinary tract and has a strong metastatic potential.To determine whether anoikis-associated genes can predict the prognosis of BLCA accurately, we evaluated the prognostic valu
Mesh models generated by multi view stereo (MVS) algorithms often fail to represent in an adequate manner the sharp, natural edge details of the scene.The harsh depth discontinuities of edge regions are eventually a challenging task for dense reconstruction, while vertex merlot redbud tree for sale displacement during mesh refinement frequently lea
Strigolactones are phytohormones that influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) spore germination, merlot redbud tree for sale pre-symbiotic hyphal branching, and metabolic rates.Historically, strigolactone effects have been tested on single AMF strains.An open question is whether intraspecific variation in strigolactone effects and intraspecif
