Yeasts from the Peruvian native cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) phyllosphere and their biocontrol potential against Moniliophthora roreriNARA Subscribed
Moniliophthora roreri is the causal agent of frosty pod rot, one of the most yield-reducing diseases of cacao ( Theobroma cacao L.) in Latin America. However, there is currently no effective control method for this disease. The objective of this research was to isolate and identify the natural diversity of yeasts present in the phyllosphere of native cacao and to evaluate these isolates for potential antagonistic interactions...
Functional connectivity correlates of sequence memory decline in healthy older adultsNARA Subscribed
Episodic sequence memory is crucial for daily functioning and typically declines during aging. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this decline remain poorly understood. We examined the resting-state functional connectivity (FC) correlates of sequence memory in healthy older adults (OA), with a young adult (YA) group included for comparison. Thirty-eight OA (mean ± SD age: 69.9 ± 3.9 years; 24 women) and 20 YA (mean ± SD...
Background Cancer survivors are more susceptible to contracting COVID-19. However, beyond race, age, and sex, less is known about other neighborhood and psychosocial factors contribute to this increased risk. Objective The goal of this study was to examine the associations of individual and area-level social determinants of health (SDOH) measures, medical, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors and COVID-19 infection in a statewi...
Explaining the maintenance of genetic variation in fitness‐related traits within populations is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology. Frequency‐dependent selection (FDS) is one mechanism that can maintain such variation, especially when selection favours rare variants (negative FDS). However, our general knowledge about the occurrence of FDS, its strength and direction remain fragmented, limiting general...
Analysis of Uncertainty and Sensitivity in Tailings Dam Breach-Runout Numerical ModellingNARA Subscribed
Tailings dam breaches (TDBs) and subsequent flows can pose significant risk to public safety, the environment, and the economy. Numerical runout models are used to simulate potential tailings flows and understand their downstream impacts. Due to the complex nature of the breach-runout processes, the mobility and downstream impacts of these types of failures are highly uncertain. We applied the first-order second-moment (FOSM)...
