Advances in genome sequencing technologies have enabled researchers and breeders to rapidly associate phenotypic variation to genome sequence differences.We recently took advantage of next-generation sequencing technology to develop MutMap, a method that allows rapid identification of causal nucleotide changes of rice mutants by whole genome resequ
Mathematical modelling and application of frog choruses as an autonomous distributed communication system
Interactions using various sensory cues produce sophisticated behaviour in animal swarms, e.g.the foraging behaviour of ants and the flocking of birds and fish.Here, we investigate the behavioural mechanisms of frog choruses from the viewpoints of mathematical modelling and its application.Empirical data on male Japanese tree frogs demonstrate that
Innovative Approaches for Organizing an Inclusive Optics and Photonics Conference in Virtual Format
The COVID pandemic is forcing the renewal of Lip Liner scientific conferences, offering opportunities to introduce technological and inclusive developments.Our analysis focuses on the implementation of inclusive practices for female and early-career researchers in a virtual scientific conference.This organization approach was applied in the XIII Sp
Assessment of blinding success among dental implant clinical trials: A systematic review
Introduction: It is widely believed that blinding is a cornerstone of randomized clinical trials and that significant bias may result from unsuccessful blinding.However, it is not enough to claim that a clinical trial is single- or double-blinded and that assessment of the success of blinding is ideal.The aim of Foot Rear this study was to evaluate
Hearing Loss in Acromegaly - A Review
Abstract Introduction Acromegaly is a chronic disease caused by growth hormone (GH) excess due to a GH-secreting pituitary adenoma in most cases.There is reasonable data to Lip Liner presume the possible influence of chronic GH and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) hyperproduction on the anatomical structures involved in normal sound perception,
