ASSOCIATIONAL SUSCEPTIBILITY OF CROP PLANTS CAUSED BY THE INVASIVE WEED CANADIAN GOLDENROD, SOLIDAGO CANADENSIS, VIA LOCAL APHID SPECIES

Associational susceptibility of crop plants caused by the invasive weed Canadian goldenrod, Solidago canadensis, via local aphid species

In the present study, field surveys were conducted to detect potential associational susceptibility of crop plants (potato, alfalfa and maize) caused by Canadian goldenrod, Solidago canadensis (L.), one of the most common invasive weeds in Central and Eastern Europe, via plant associated virus vectoring aphids.Assessments were made in two major agr

Simulations of blood as a suspension predicts a depth dependent hematocrit in the circulation throughout the cerebral cortex.

Recent advances in modeling oxygen supply to cortical brain tissue have begun to elucidate the functional mechanisms of neurovascular coupling.While the principal mechanisms of blood flow regulation after neuronal firing are generally known, mechanistic hemodynamic simulations cannot yet pinpoint the exact spatial and temporal coordination between
