Aim: Absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS) is found in 3-6% of patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).Along with findings of TOF, absence of pulmonary valve tissue results in aneurysmal dilatation of the main and branch pulmonary arteries compressing the trachea, main-stem, and intrapulmonary bronchi leading to obstructive airways disease.Our obj

Summary: The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum commonly forms chimeric fruiting bodies.Genetic variants that produce a higher proportion of spores are predicted to undercut multicellular organization unless cooperators assort positively.Cell adhesion is considered a primary factor driving such assortment, but evolution of adhesion has not been

This paper describes the selection of assessment criteria to assess agricultural water management schemes for on-farm ponds to support sustainable rain-fed agriculture, guided by the New Theory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.The candidate set of criteria was obtained from several international and national sources related to sustainable rai

P.aeruginosa strain FG106 was isolated from the rhizosphere of tomato Bandana Bib plants and identified through morphological analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and whole-genome sequencing.In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that this strain could control several pathogens on tomato, potato, taro, and strawberry.Volatile and non-volatile

Spin angular momentum of a photon corresponds to a polarisation degree of freedom of lights, and such that various polarisation properties are coming from macroscopic manifestation of quantum-mechanical properties of lights.An orbital degree of freedom of lights is also manipulated to form a vortex of lights with orbital angular momentum, which is
