Abstract:
... Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral respiratory disease, caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), that poses an important economic threat to the poultry industry. In recent years, genotypes GI-7, GI-13, and GI-19 have been the most prevalent IBV strains in China. However, in this study, we found that most IBV strains from southern China in 2016–2017 belonged to genoty ...

Abstract:
... Optimizing canopy nitrogen (N) distribution to match the light gradient is crucial for maximizing canopy carbon gain and improving N utilization efficiency (NUtE) in crops. Light interception and utilization depend not only on canopy N distribution but also on leaf N allocation in the thylakoid light-harvesting proteins (membrane proteins) and Rubisco (water-soluble proteins). However, the distrib ...

Abstract:
... Liquefied gases in energy supply chain suffer the risks of disastrous accidents (e.g. boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) normally resulted from a sudden release. The boiling response and its associated pressure transient under sudden release determine the severity of the accident, and are crucial for assessing the consequences of the sudden release. For predicting the pressure transient, a ...
