ABSTRACT Microbial relationships are critical to coral health, and changes in Cacao microbiomes are often exhibited following environmental disturbance.However, the dynamics of coral-microbial composition and external factors that govern coral microbiome assembly and response to disturbance remain largely uncharacterized.Here, we investigated how a

Climate change has exacerbated the impact of abiotic stresses, mainly drought, on plant production.Plant selection, breeding, and genetic engineering to increase drought tolerance are costly and time-consuming.To mitigate drought Rice Cooker stress, plants employ adaptive mechanisms and interact with beneficial microorganisms, such as plant growth-

Life history traits determine the organismal abundance within a population and are affected by the presence of trade-offs that modify relationships between traits.These relationships can vary across different environments either by local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity.Reproductive traits have direct fitness implications and therefore are suita

Abstract Background Nutrition research is relying more on artificial intelligence and machine learning models to understand, diagnose, predict, and explain data.While artificial intelligence and machine learning models provide powerful modeling tools, failure to use careful and well-thought-out modeling processes can lead to misleading conclusions

Flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete Water Bottle (RC) beams is an important research topic due to its huge practical demand.In the present study, a new flexural strengthening method for RC beams, called the Shear-key Mounted Unbonded Rebar (SMUR) technique, is proposed and its effectiveness is examined through an experimental investigatio
