Isolation and characterization of Bacillus sp. HSY32 and its toxin gene for potential biological control of plant parasitic nematode

Abstract Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause significant damage to crop production worldwide, leading to substantial economic losses.Conventional chemical nematicides are effective but frequently associated with environmental and health hazards.In response, biological control methods, particularly the use of microbial pesticides, have emerged as

4 days in dry immersion increases arterial wall response to ultrasound wave as measured using radio-frequency signal, comparison with spaceflight data

Recent studies have reported a significant increase in common carotid artery (CCA) intima media thickness, wall stiffness and reflectivity to ultrasound, in astronauts, after six months of spaceflight.The hypothesis was that 4 days in dry immersion (subjects under bags of water) will be sufficient to change the CCA wall reflectivity to ultrasound s
