The absence of adequate force field (FF) parameters to describe certain metallic complexes makes new and deeper analyses impossible. In this context, after a group of researchers developed and validated an AMBER FF for a ...

The culturable endophytic fungus Serendipita indica has many beneficial effects on plants, but whether and how it affects physiological activities and phosphorus (P) acquisition of tea seedlings at low P levels is unclear. ...

In smart cities, the fast increase in automobiles has caused congestion, pollution, and disruptions in the transportation of commodities. Each year, there are more fatalities and cases of permanent impairment due to everyday ...

Urbanized areas are rapidly expanding into a variety of habitats. Urbanization and suburbanization are often associated with changes in biodiversity, which are natu- rally influenced by biotic interactions and abiotic ...

Cytogenetic and compositional studies considered fish genomes rather poor in guanine-cytosine content (GC%) because of a putative "sharp increase in genic GC% during the evolution of higher vertebrates". However, the ...

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-based systems have become an important part of industry consortium systems because of their rapid growth and wide-ranging application. Various physical objects that are interconnected ...

In the past twenty years, the basic investigation of innovative Non-Linear Optical (NLO) crystals has received significant attention, which has built the crucial heritage for the use of NLO materials. Fundamental research ...

BACKGROUND: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have a positive effect on drought tolerance of plants after establishing reciprocal resymbiosis with roots, while the underlying mechanism is not deciphered. Metabolomics can ...

Mixed lowland forests reserved for natural succession are sparse in the Czech Republic. However, their development provides essential insights into the natural processes of these forests and recommendations for forest ...

Forest set-aside is a commonly employed conservation strategy, but large-scale disturbances regularly evoke discussions on its utility for biodiversity conservation in former production forests. In this study, we reconstructed ...
