Abstract Flowering time is considered one of the most important agronomic traits in maize (Zea mays L.), and previous studies have indicated that this trait is correlated with genome size.We observed a significant difference in genome size between tropical and temperate inbred lines and a moderate positive correlation between genome size and 180-bp
Nematodes constitute a very successful phylum, especially in terms of parasitism.Inside their mammalian hosts, parasitic nematodes mainly dwell in the digestive Transmission tract (geohelminths) or in the vascular system (filariae).One of their main characteristics is their long sojourn inside the body where they are accessible to the immune system
HIV prevalence is rising and has been consistently higher among women in Rwanda whereas a decreasing national HIV prevalence rate in the adult population has stabilised since 2005.Factors explaining the increased vulnerability of women to HIV infection are not currently well understood.A statistical mapping at smaller geographic units and the ident
Visual odometry estimates the ego-motion of a vehicle using only the input of a single or multiple cameras mounted on the vehicle.This paper focuses on the research of the stereo visual odometry system of intelligent vehicles, and discusses how to improve the robustness, accuracy and efficiency.A Robots in Disguise new robust estimation algorithm,
The potential of Augmented Reality (AR) for educational and training purposes is well known.While large-scale deployments of head-mounted AR headsets remain challenging due to technical limitations and cost factors, advances in mobile devices and tracking solutions introduce handheld AR devices as a powerful, broadly available alternative, yet with
