DOES THIS LOOK INFECTED? HIDDEN HOST PLANT INFECTION BY THE PATHOGEN BOTRYTIS CINEREA ALTERS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PLANTS, APHIDS AND THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES IN THE FIELD

Few studies have considered whether hidden (asymptomatic) plant pathogen infection alters ecological interactions at the higher trophic levels, even though such infection still affects plant physiology.We explored this question in two field experiments, where two varieties of lettuce (Little Gem, Tom Thumb) infected with Botrytis cinerea were eithe

This paper presents an optimized nonlinear controller, the Integral Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control (ISTSMC), for acute leukemia therapy.To enhance its performance, we introduce the RedFox Optimization Algorithm, a nature-inspired technique based on the hunting behavior of red foxes.This algorithm is utilized to fine-tune the controller paramet

Abstract Background Animal and human studies suggest that inflammation and malnutrition are common in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients.However, only a few studies reported CRP, a marker of inflammation, albumin, prealbumin and cholesterol, markers of nutritional status were associated with the prognosis of AKI patients.No study examined whether P

Abstract Humanitarian aid workers experience adverse mental health effects from their work at higher rates than the military, police and other emergency service personnel.Whilst there is considerable literature investigating risk and resilience factors for workers within this field, little is known about the status of such factors among individuals
