The emergence of azole resistant Aspergillus spp., especially Aspergillus fumigatus, has been described in several countries around the world with varying prevalence depending on the country.To our knowledge, azole resistance in Aspergillus spp.has not been reported in the West Indies yet.In this study, we investigated the antifungal susceptibility

Mapping of above-ground phytomass provides a baseline for monitoring climate-induced changes, especially in the northern regions.This is important for practical applications, such as assessing quality of pastures and defining reindeer migration routes.Use of very high resolution (1 m and better) aerial and satellite images is of particular interest

Transdisciplinary research (TD) integrates knowledge from different scientific disciplines, as well as from research and practice.Research and practice therefore describe TD as well-suited for addressing complex sustainability challenges.However, the effects of TD on sustainable development are difficult to assess, as such projects produce manifold

Abstract Urinary Following [1], we study quantum extremal surfaces in various families of cosmologies with Big-Crunch singularities, by extremizing the generalized entropy in 2-dimensional backgrounds which can be thought of as arising from dimensional reduction.Focussing first on the isotropic AdS Kasner case, introducing a spatial regulator enabl

The hnRNP A1 and A2 proteins regulate processes such as alternative pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA stability.Here, we report that a reduction in the levels of hnRNP A1 and A2 by RNA interference or their cytoplasmic retention by osmotic stress drastically increases the transcription of a reporter gene.Based on previous work, we propose that this effect
