Genetic dissection of value-added quality traits and agronomic parameters through genome-wide association mapping in bread wheat ( L.).

Bread wheat ( is one of the world's most widely consumed cereals. Since micronutrient deficiencies are becoming more common among people who primarily depend upon cereal-based diets, a need for better-quality wheat varieties has been felt. An association panel of 154 lines was evaluated for the following quality traits: grain appearance (GA) score, grain hardness (GH), phenol reaction (PR) score, protein percent, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sedimentation value, and test weight (TWt).

Early Clinical Mapping of Submandibular Gland Fistula: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

 Submandibular gland fistula (SGF) is a rare subset of salivary gland fistulas. It is seldom tough to diagnose them prior to surgical exploration, and it is often clinically confused with close differentials. An early diagnosis based on pertinent clinical features and focused radiological findings can be pivotal in optimal management and help prevent recurrence and avoid unnecessary investigations/interventions.

Thermodynamic, kinetic, and equilibrium studies of Cu(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) ion biosorption onto treated Ageratum conyzoid biomass.

The issue of environmental contamination, particularly caused by the existence of heavy metal particles, is a major and widely recognized subject that receives substantial global attention. The remediation of Cu(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) ionic metal particles from synthetic wastewater using chemically treated plant leaves of Ageratum conyzoides (TAC) as a biosorbent was investigated. The biosorption process was implemented utilizing a batch system, wherein several operational parameters were considered, including temperature, pH, agitation time, biosorbent dosage, and initial concentration of the metal ion.

Quality control performance evaluation of uMI550 digital PET-CT by utilising LYSO crystal natural radioactivity of Lu.

Purpose: Quality Control (QC) of the Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) system must be performed prior to the PET-CT acquisition to ensure the reproducibility as per the manufacturer recommendation. In this study we have evaluated the performance of daily PET QC test by utilising lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) scintillation crystal natural radioactivity of Lu as a source of radiation to perform the PET uCare.iQC with uMI550 digital PET-CT system.
