Abstract The development of the human foot is crucial for motor learning in children and adolescents as it ensures the basic requirements for bipedal locomotion and stable standing.Although there is an ongoing debate of the advantages and disadvantages of early and permanent footwear use, the influence of regular Shears barefootness on foot charact
Dealing with Mental Health in Online Learning: A Retrospect on ELT Teachers and EFL Learners during COVID-19 Pandemic
This paper intends to depict the mental health of English Language Teaching (ELT) teachers and English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners at a tertiary level during the COVID-19 pandemic.The educational boards across the globe have been forced to transition to smart classrooms, digital platforms, and effective teacher training programs in online de
Collared Peccary Wallows are Hubs of Animal Activity and Diversity in a Central American Wet Forest
ABSTRACT Despite research linking peccary wallows to increased amphibian biodiversity in wet tropical forests in Amazonia, wallow use by the broader vertebrate community has been overlooked.We investigated collared peccary (Pecari (Dicotyles) tajacu) activity patterns at wallows and used multiple detection methods to assess wallow use by the verteb
Optimal Energy Management for Renewable Energy Microgrids
This paper deals with some issues related to optimal operation of microgrids, which are a group of loads, generators and energy storage systems that can be managed isolated or connected to the main 4 Channel LOC grid, in a coordinated way in order to reliably supply electricity.The control problems and solution are addressed both for optimal dispat
A cysteine-rich transmembrane module peptide GhCYSTM9 is involved in cold stress response
Abstract Background Cysteine-rich transmembrane module (CYSTM) peptides, which are widely distributed and highly conserved in eukaryotes, are largely involved in stress response and defence.However, the role of cotton CYSTM genes in the stress response has not been functionally characterized.Results In this study, we identified GhCYSTM9 as a cold s
