Principal Component Analysis for Enhancement of Infrared Spectra Monitoring
(2011-07-26)
The issue of air quality within the aircraft cabin is receiving increasing attention from both pilot and flight attendant unions. This is due to exposure events caused by poor air quality that in some cases may have ...
In Ovo-Vaccination with a Non-Replicating Adenovirus-Vectored Avian Influenza: Maternal Immunity and Effects on Vaccination
(2011-11-17)
Protective immunity to avian influenza (AI) virus can be elicited in chickens by in ovo or intramuscular (IM) vaccination with RCA-free adenovirus vector encoding AI virus H5 (AdH5). We evaluated persistence of specific ...
Management of Sheath Blight and Enhancement of Growth and Yield of Rice with Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria
(2010-11-15)
Sheath blight (ShB) of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani, causes significant yield losses worldwide. Strong sources of genetic resistance are not available for ShB, and the disease is currently managed through use of ...
