Uncovering Cercospora species affecting sugar beet in Iran with rapid and accurate detection of C. beticola using LAMP assay

Abstract Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is a major disease impacting global sugar beet cultivation and yield. This study investigated the potential diversity of Cercospora species causing CLS in Iranian sugar beet. Fungal isolates were characte...

Effect of Phacoemulsification on Macular Thickness and Volume in Diabetic Patients without Retinopathy

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effect of phacoemulsification on macular thickness and volume in diabetic patients without retinopathy using optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods: This prospective study included 37 di...

High-temperature dielectric characterisation in the S-band using a solar simulator heated re-entrant microwave cavity and multiphysics modelling

This study presents a comprehensive system for the high-temperature microwave characterisation of dielectric materials. This system addresses the current scarcity of reliable dielectric data above 1000 °C, particularly under concentrated so...

The Thermomechanical Finite Element Analysis of 3003-H14 Plates Joined by the GMAW Process

The gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process was used to weld 3003-H14 plates under restricted and unrestricted thermal expansion. Experimental and numerical analysis were conducted to determine the relation between weld thermal cycles and resi...

Ectoparasites Identification on Spiny Lobster (Panulirus homarus) Cultivated Controlled Tanks and Floating Net Cages (KJA) at the Lampung Marine Aquaculture Center (BBPBL) : Identifikasi Ektoparasit Lobster Pasir (Panulirus homarus) pada Bak Terkendali dan Keramba Jaring Apung (KJA) di Balai Besar Perikanan Budidaya Laut (BBPBL) Lampung

Ectoparasites can infect aquatic biota, including spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus), which causes failure of spiny lobster cultivation, such as death, bacterial infection, and decreased cultivation quality. One of the failures of spiny lobs...

STEM approach and computer science impact the metaphorical thinking of Indonesian students’

Metaphorical thinking is important in improving the formation and discovery of learning ideas in the 21st-century. However, the metaphorical thinking of Indonesian students is below the international average in terms of cognitive process, a...

Sustainable Use of By-Products and Wastes from Greece to Produce Innovative Eco-Friendly Pervious Concrete

This study was based on the reduction of the extraction of natural resources and, at the same time, was focused on the use of by-products and various wastes in construction applications by following the principles of circular economy. Steri...

En la región de Lampazos, ubicada en la parte centrooriental de Sonora, aflora una columna de sedimentos del Cretácico Inferior (Aptiano-Albiano medio) con un espesor de 2,500 m. Para su estudio, la secuencia fue dividida en siete formacion...

Effect of Accelerated Weathering on Color and Physico-mechanical Properties of Wood-plastic Composites with Nano Titanium Dioxide

Polypropylene (PP) with black locust wood flour and maleic grafted polypropylene were used to prepare wood plastic composites (WPC) by injection molding. The effect of the addition of nano titanium oxide (nano TiO2) on the properties of the...

Improving Minutiae Image of Latent Fingerprint Detection on Non-Porous Surface Materials under UV Light Using Sulfur Doped Carbon Quantum Dots from Magnolia Grandiflora Flower

In this study, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Magnolia Grandiflora flower as a carbon precursor were obtained using a hydrothermal method under the optimized conditions affected by various heating times (14, 16, 18, and 20 min) and various...
