Alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) can improve water use efficiency in arid areas.However, the effectiveness and outcomes of different frequencies of APRI on water uptake capacity and physiological water use have not been reported.A NITRO TECH two-year field experiment was conducted with two irrigation amounts (400 and 500 mm) and three
Embodied AI beyond Embodied Cognition and Enactivism
Over the last three decades, the rise of embodied cognition (EC) articulated in various schools (or versions) of embodied, embedded, extended and enacted cognition (Gallagher’s 4E) has offered AI a way out of traditional computationalism—an approach (or an understanding) loosely referred to as embodied AI.This view has split into variou
Intracellular Sequestration of the NKG2D Ligand MIC B by Species F Adenovirus
The enteric human adenoviruses of species F (HAdVs-F), which comprise HAdV-F40 and HAdV-F41, are significant pathogens that cause acute gastroenteritis in children worldwide.The early transcription unit 3 (E3) of HAdVs-F is markedly different from that of all other HAdV species.To date, the E3 proteins unique to HAdVs-F have not been characterized
