Cover crops in Mediterranean vineyards are scarcely used due to water competition between the cover crop and the grapevine; however, bare soil management through tillage or herbicides tends to have negative effects on the soil over time (organic matter decrease, soil structure and soil fertility degradation, compaction, etc).The objective of this s
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded protein latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is essential for EBV-mediated B cell transformation and plays a critical role in the development of post-transplant B cell lymphomas.LMP1 also contributes to the exacerbation of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).LMP1 is a functional mimic of t
Abstract Smoking invariably has environmental, social, economic and health consequences in Ethiopia.Reducing and quitting cigarette smoking improves individual health and increases available household funds for education, food and better economic productivity.Therefore, this study aimed to apply the Bayesian negative binomial logit hurdle and zero-
Weeds are a serious threat to crop production as they interfere with the crop growth and development and result in significant crop losses.Weeds actually cause yield loss higher than any other pest in crop production.As a result, synthetic herbicides have been widely used for weed management.Heavy usage of synthetic herbicides, however, has resulte
BackgroundLung disease as major cause for morbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) starts early in life.Its large phenotypic heterogeneity is partially explained by the genotype but other contributing factors are not well delineated.The close relationship between mucus, inflammation and infection, drives morpho-functional alterations already
