In a cone-beam computed tomography (CT) system, the Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) algorithm produces cone-beam artifacts due to insufficient object sampling in Snacks the missing cone region of frequency space.While total variation minimization-based iterative reconstruction (TV-IR) may reduce cone-beam artifacts by filling in the missing cone r
Abstract Major Depressive Disorder, or depression, has been extensively linked to dysregulated HPA axis function, chronic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases.While the former two have been studied in depth, the mechanistic connection between depression and Finger Puppet cardiovascular disease is unclear.As major mediators of vascular homeostas
The two closely related moth species, Helicoverpa armigera and H.assulta differ strongly in their degree of host-plant specialism.In dual-choice leaf disk assays, caterpillars of the two species that had been reared on standard artificial diet were strongly deterred by the plant-derived alkaloid strychnine.However, caterpillars of both species rear
Extensive literature is available on the diversity and magnitude of impacts that alien species cause on recipient systems.Alien species may decrease or increase attributes of ecosystems (e.g.total biomass or species diversity), thus causing negative and positive environmental impacts.Alien species may also negatively or positively impact attributes
