BackgroundThe prevalence of developmental alterations associated with in-utero Zika virus (ZIKV) exposure in children is not well understood.Furthermore, estimation of the Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) of developmental alterations attributed to ZIKV has not been performed due to lack of population-based cohorts with data on symptomatic and
Household food consumption is the associative link between ecosystems and anthropogenic activities.In grassland areas, inappropriate food consumption patterns will cause irreversible damage to vulnerable local ecosystems.For this study, we selected three typical transitional grassland areas of Inner Mongolia, China (i.e., meadow steppe, typical ste
Abstract Background Environmental stresses, including high salinity and drought, severely diminish wheat yield and quality globally.The xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family represents a class of cell wall-modifying enzymes and plays important roles in plants growth, development and stress adaptation.However, systematic analyses of
The Pierre Auger Observatory, located in Argentina, provides an unprecedented integrated aperture in the search for Planters primary photons with energy above 1017 eV over a large portion of the southern sky.Such photons can be detected in principle via the air showers they initiate at such energies, using the complement of Auger Joggers Observator
