Increasing role of transboundary food-related water footprints by regional income groups.

Income group heterogeneity and transboundary food-related water footprints are essential for water resource management. Previous studies have not fully characterized the transboundary food-related water footprints by regional income groups. Taking Guangdong as an example, this study calculates the local and transboundary food-related water footprints by income groups and explores relevant socioeconomic factors during 2007-2017.

Extracellular Amylase Is Required for Full Virulence and Regulated by the Global Posttranscriptional Regulator RsmA in Pathovar .

As with many phytopathogenic bacteria, the virulence of pv. , the causal agent of black rot disease in cruciferous plants, relies on secretion of a suite of extracellular enzymes that includes cellulase (endoglucanase), pectinase, protease, and amylase. Although the role in virulence of a number of these enzymes has been assessed, the contribution of amylase to pv.

Fabrication and Characterization of Curved Compound Eyes Based on Multifocal Microlenses.

Curved compound eyes have generated great interest owing to the wide field of view but the application of devices is hindered for the lack of proper detectors. One-lens curved compound eyes with multi-focal microlenses provide a solution for wide field imaging integrated in a commercial photo-detector. However, it is still a challenge for manufacturing this kind of compound eye.
