Non-Invasive Malaria Detection in Sub-Saharan Africa Using a DNA-Based Sensor System.

Malaria poses a serious global health problem, with half the world population being at risk. Regular screening is crucial for breaking the transmission cycle and combatting the disease spreading. However, current diagnostic tools relying on blood samples face challenges in many malaria-epidemic areas.

Impact of volume and expression time in an AAV-delivered channelrhodopsin.

Optogenetics has revolutionised neuroscience research, but at the same time has brought a plethora of new variables to consider when designing an experiment with AAV-based targeted gene delivery. Some concerns have been raised regarding the impact of AAV injection volume and expression time in relation to longitudinal experimental designs. In this study, we investigated the efficiency of optically evoked post-synaptic responses in connection to two variables: the volume of the injected virus and the expression time of the virus.

Analysis of the effect of air temperature on ammonia emission from band application of slurry.

Field application of liquid animal manure (slurry) is a significant source of ammonia (NH) emission to the atmosphere. It is well supported by theory and previous studies that air temperature effects NH flux from field applied slurry. The objectives of this study was to statistically model the response of temperature at the time of application on cumulative NH emission.

Growth and Phenology of in Comparison with , and in Monoculture and in Winter Wheat.

has become an increasing weed problem in winter cereals in Northern Europe. However, the information about and its behavior as an arable weed is limited. Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 2017/18 and 2018/19, at the Department of Agroecology in Flakkebjerg, Denmark to investigate the emergence, phenological development and growth characteristics of in monoculture and in mixture with winter wheat, in comparison to , and .

Nitrate leaching from suction cup data: Influence of method of drainage calculation and concentration interpolation.

The use of suctions cups is a common practice for estimating nitrate (NO -N) leaching under agricultural systems despite the various uncertainties associated with the approach. One major uncertainty is water flux, which is required for calculating NO -N leaching loads from measured concentrations. Another problem is the interpolation of NO -N concentrations between measurement days.
