is a pathogenic bacterium that poses a significant threat to global agriculture, necessitating a deeper understanding of its ecological dynamics in the context of global warming. This study investigates the current and projected future distribution of , focusing on the climatic factors that influence its spread. To achieve this, we employed Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) modeling based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze species occurrence records alongside relevant climate data.

- - Rice is vital for more than half the global population, but its production is threatened by bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae, making understanding its potential spread due to climate change essential for food security.
- - Using ecological niche modeling and the Maxent algorithm, researchers projected risk maps for X. oryzae from 2050 to 2070, revealing that its geographic range and habitat suitability will likely expand significantly under both low and high emission scenarios.
- - Key climatic factors driving this spread include increased yearly precipitation and higher temperatures during wet periods, highlighting the need for integrated management strategies that consider host susceptibility and agricultural practices to protect rice production against climate-related disease dynamics.
Background: Accurate planning for patellar instability correction is important in obtaining good post-operative outcome. The main challenge in the current two-dimensional (2-D) computed tomographic (CT) scans method is the difficulty in choosing reliable bony landmarks. This study aimed to compare the reliabilities between the 2-D and three-dimensional (3-D) methods of measuring tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance.

Introduction: To compare the strength between the Achilles tendons repaired with the "Giftbox" and the Krackow techniques in New Zealand white rabbits post six weeks of tendon healing.
Materials And Methods: Eight rabbits were randomized into Giftbox and Krackow groups. Tenotomy was performed on the Achilles tendon of one side of the lower limb and repaired with the respective techniques.
Introduction: This study aims to compare the biomechanical properties and ease of learning and tying of our novel knot (UM Knot) with other commonly used arthroscopic sliding knots.
Materials And Methods: The Duncan, HU, SMC, Pretzel, Nicky's and square knots were selected for comparisons with UM knot. All knots were prepared with size 2 HiFi suture by a single experienced surgeon and tested with cyclic loading and load to failure tests.
Jasmonates regulate plant defense and development. In Arabidopsis (), JASMONATE-ASSOCIATED VQ-MOTIF GENE1 (JAV1/VQ22) is a repressor of jasmonate-mediated defense responses and is degraded through the ubiquitin26S proteasome system after herbivory. We found that JAV1-ASSOCIATED UBIQUITIN LIGASE1 (JUL1), a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase, interacted with JAV1.

[Subjects] Fourteen healthy participants (10 men and 4 women) volunteered and gave informed consent. [Methods] Two raters conducted AKE tests independently with the aid of a simple and inexpensive stabilizing apparatus.
