The biotrophic parasitic fungus Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst) causes stripe rust, a devastating disease of wheat, endangering global food security.Because the Pst population is highly dynamic, it is difficult to develop wheat cultivars with durable and highly effective resistance.Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are widely used as molecular
Components of selection in the evolution of the influenza virus: linkage effects beat inherent selection.
The influenza virus is an important human pathogen, with a rapid rate of evolution in the human population.The rate of homologous recombination within genes of influenza is essentially zero.As such, where two alleles within the same gene are in linkage disequilibrium, interference between alleles will occur, whereby selection acting upon one allele
Understanding antibiotic use in the community setting in Thailand: Does communication matter?
BackgroundIt is known that the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).Effective communication between dispensers and users is thus crucial in reducing inappropriate antibiotic use.ObjectiveThis study aims to gain a better understanding of communication around the use of antibiotics in the community and seeks po
Investigation of a Low-Speed Commutation Voltage Shock Problem in Three-Level ANPC Inverter with Hybrid Modulation Mode
With the development of the photovoltaic industry; there will be an increasing demand for efficient, high-power density, and low-cost grid interface converters.Compared with two-level inverters, multilevel inverters have the following advantages: (1) lower device voltage ratings; (2) better output filtering spectrum; (3) lower electromagnetic inter
