Limited Cross Plant Movement and Non-Crop Preferences Reduce the Efficiency of Honey Bees as Pollinators of Hybrid Carrot Seed Crops
Pollination rates in hybrid carrot crops remain limited after introduction of honey bee hives.In this study, honey bee foraging behaviour was observed in commercial hybrid carrot seed crops.Significantly more visits were made to male-fertile (MF) rather than cytoplasmically male-sterile (CMS) flowers.Pollen was collected from bees returning to a hi
Subcutaneous Infiltrative Lipoma in a Cultured European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Lipomas are soft tissue mesenchymal benign tumors divided into two groups: infiltrative and non-infiltrative.In an outside examination of the body of cultured European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) obtained from an inland fish farm located in the Turkish Aegean Coast One tumor-like structure was observed on the Water Bottles dorsal side of the bac
Fast Exclusion Candidate Identification Based on Sparse Estimation for ARAIM Fault Exclusion Process
Advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (ARAIM) is an integrity technique for a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), centered on the multiple hypothesis solution separation (MHSS) test, which assesses the consistency between a subset and the all-in-view solution.Successful fault exclusion (FE) in ARAIM relies on identifying exclusio
Cetuximab Enhanced the Cytotoxic Activity of Immune Cells during Treatment of Colorectal Cancer
Background/Aims: Cetuximab is a chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody which targets the extracellular domain of epidermal growth factor receptor.This antibody is widely used for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment but its influence on the immune system is incompletely understood.Methods: The immune influence of cetuximab therapy in CRC patients was inves
