Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] is an economically valuable non-native tree species in Germany and is considered very promising in view of global climate change.Therefore, the genetic characterization of Douglas-fir populations and seed stands in Germany is essential.We studied Gift Card coastal and interior Douglas-fir varieties

The terminal-connected series dynamic braking resistor (SDBR) is applied to assist the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG).With the fault current and switch-in of the SDBR, the stator voltage oscillates, thus the constant stator voltage drop assumption is invalid and the effect of the converter current contr

The use of "belly scoring" can offer a novel, non-invasive objective management tool to gauge food intake between individuals, groups, and populations, and thus, population fitness.As food availability is increasingly affected by predation, ecological competition, climate change, habitat modification, and other human activities, an accurate belly B

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen and causes illnesses with a high mortality rate in susceptible populations.Several dairy-related outbreaks have been attributed to contamination by L.monocytogenes, which requires antimicrobial interventions to enhance the safety of these products.This study aimed to determine the antimicrobial activit
