Reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA is an essential test to monitor the occurrence of COVID-19.A methodology is proposed for the determination of maximum pool size and adjustments of cut-off values of cycle threshold (Ct in RT-qPCR pool testing, to compensate for the dilution cau
Abstract Background Because of the complexity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), brain tumors, especially the most common and aggressive primary malignant tumor type arising from the central nervous system (CNS), glioblastoma, remain an essential challenge regarding diagnostic and treatment.There are no approved circulating diagnostic or prognostic
The behavior of biofuels depends on glyceride content, water content, viscosity, density, and other properties that produce different effects on emissions and fuel performance.Therefore, this work performs an experimental evaluation of the performance of low glyceride palm oil biodiesel blended with diesel fuel operating in a compression ignition e
Energy crops are not easily converted by microorganisms because of their recalcitrance.This necessitates a pretreatment to improve their Kids Footwear biodigestibility.The effects of different pretreatments, as well as their combination on the enzymatic digestibility of Arundo donax L.were systematically investigated to evaluate its potential for b
Soil moisture (SM) is an important parameter in all Sacca environments because it affects the relationship between the land surface and atmospheric processes.Therefore, finding products that can accurately measure SM is critical to improving drought management.The objective of this study was to investigate the accuracy of satellite data from SM pro
