Seed physical dormancy (hard-seededness) is an interesting ecological phenomenon and important agronomic trait.The loss of seed coat impermeability/hard-seededness is a key target trait during the domestication of leguminous crops which allows seeds to germinate rapidly and uniformly.In this study, we examined the mutation of quantitative trait loc
Thelodonts are an enigmatic group of Paleozoic jawless vertebrates that have been well studied from taxonomical, biostratigraphic and paleogeographic points of view, although our knowledge of their ecology and mode of life is still scant.Their bodies were covered by micrometric scales whose morphology, histology and the developmental process are ex
Since UAV images are taken at a low altitude, compared to satellite or aerial Bladderwrack images, they usually have narrow ground coverage.In order to use them over a large area of interest, it is essential to mosaic them into a large image.In addition, UAV images may have different brightness values at the same ground locations according to diffe
Violence targeting women has endured since ancient times, encompassing a spectrum of offenses ranging from psychological anguish to physical and sexual assault.This study introduces a crime index rooted in diverse categories that directly or indirectly contribute to fostering criminal intentions.A composite weighted index, comprising four sub-index
