USING NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY TO PREDICT NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS CONCENTRATIONS OF HERBARIUM SPECIMENS UNDER DIFFERENT STORAGE CONDITIONS

Using near-infrared spectroscopy to predict nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations of herbarium specimens under different storage conditions

Abstract Background Herbaria are becoming increasingly important as archives of biodiversity, and play a central role in taxonomic and biogeographic studies.There is also an ongoing interest in functional traits and the way they mediate interactions between a plant species and its environment.Herbarium specimens allow tracking trait values over tim

A Comprehensive Mathematical Model of Electroslag Remelting with Two Series-Connected Electrodes Based on Sequential Coupling Simulation Method

A comprehensive mathematical model of electroslag remelting with two series-connected electrodes (TSCE-ESR) was constructed based on sequential coupling method.The influence of droplet effect on electroslag remelting process (ESR) was considered in this model.Compared with one-electrode electroslag remelting (OE-ESR), the multi-physics field, dropl

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Before and 3 Months After Concentrated Exposure Response Prevention in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Background: Subtle differences in white matter microstructure have been found in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) compared to controls using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), but it is unclear if and how this change after treatment.The primary aim of this pre-registered study was to investigate white matter integrity between OCD patients and contr

The Use of DNA Microsatellite Markers for Genetic Diversity Identifi cation of Soybean (Glycine max (L) Meriil.) as a Supplementary Method in Reference Collections Management

Large number of new soybean varieties are mostly derived from crosses of elite genotypes resulted ina narrowing of both the genetic diversity and the phylogenetic relationship between soybean varieties.Thus,discrimination among soybean varieties is becoming more diffi cult, especially when morphological traits wereapplied.In Plant Variety Protectio
