BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Phytophthora capsici is a devastating pathogen that causes significant yield losses in black pepper (Piper nigrum) globally.Given the need for environmentally safe alternatives to chemical fungicides, this study aimed to evaluate the antagonistic potential of rhizobacteria isolated from black pepper rhizospheres in Bangka
The lack of helmet use in motorcyclists is one of the main risk factors with severe consequences in traffic accidents.Wearing a certified motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of head injuries by 69% and fatalities by 42%.At present there are systems that detect the use of the helmet in a very precise way, however they are not robust enough to guar
We consider a world of nucleotide sequences and protocells.The sequences have the property of spontaneous self-replication.Some sequences - so-called replicases - have enzymatic activity in the sense of enhancing the replication rate of Rear Camera all (or almost all) sequences.In a well-mixed medium, natural selection would not favor such replicas
