In this survey, 14 populations of Mesocriconema xenoplax were collected from the rhizosphere of eight fruit and nut trees in Fars province, Southern Iran.The phylogenetic relationships of these populations with other representatives of the species were investigated using sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene (COI) and D2-D3
Rheological and Molecular Characterization of Rubberized Asphalt Emulsion
An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the rheological and molecular characterization of rubberized asphalt emulsion.One rubberized asphalt emulsion and an asphalt rubber (CRS-2TR and AC20-TR) and two conventional emulsions (CRS-2 and CRS-2P) were evaluated.The emulsions were characterized by conducting rheological and physical testing.The
The Distinction of Hot Herbal Compress, Hot Compress, and Topical Diclofenac as Myofascial Pain Syndrome Treatment

A hybrid spatiotemporal convolution-based cellular automata model (ST-CA) for land-use/cover change simulation
Accurate land-use/-cover change (LUCC) simulation is of great significance to issues closely related to regional planning and policy-making.Many models have been committed to conducting LUCC simulations for better decision-making.However, LUCC is a nonlinear spatiotemporal process with complex links and feedback as well as latent dependencies in bo
