Abstract An intermediate node in an inter-flow network coding scheme needs to know exactly which are the previous hop and next hop of a packet before coding. It is difficult to incorporate inter-flow network coding into opportunistic routing (OR) because the next hop of a packet in OR can’t be determined in advance. Coding-aware opportunistic routing (CAR) is proposed in this paper to ad…
Background and Aims Low phosphorus (P) availability is a major constraint to soybean growth and production, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. Root traits have been shown to play critical roles in P efficiency in crops. Identification of the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring superior root systems could significantly enhance genetic improvement in soybean P efficiency. Method…
Abstract. Ferric hydroxide supported Pd catalyst prepared by a simple co-precipitation method without calcinations at elevated temperatures and only reduced at 50 ◦C possessed unexpectedly higher activity for CO oxidations even compared with that of supported Au catalysts. XRD and TEM results showed that the support was mixture of Fe(OH)x and Fe3O4 and Pd was highly dispersed on it. XPS r…
Monolayer-FePt nanoparticles/boron carbide-matrix composite thin films on Si substrate were fabricated by a two-step method. Scanning electron microscopy indicates that the 6 nm FePt nanoparticles are well-separated in the monolayer with an average interparticle distance of
The presence/absence variants (PAVs) are a major source of genome structural variation and have profound effects on phenotypic and genomic variation in animals and humans. However, little is understood about PAVs in plant genomes. Our previous resequencing effort on three sorghum (Sorghum bicolour L.) genomes, each 12 coverage, uncovered 5 364 PAVs. Here, we report a detailed characterization…
