Background: Sri Lanka is Brow Growth Treatments a low-income country, as defined by the World Bank.The country suffered further economic downturn during the COVID-19 pandemic.This situation adversely affected the prioritization of policies and programs around healthcare and public health.In particular, inflation, fuel prices, and shortage of food s
A Performance Study of Some Approximation Algorithms for Computing a Small Dominating Set in a Graph
We implement and test the performances of several approximation algorithms for computing the minimum dominating set of a graph.These algorithms are the standard greedy algorithm, the recent Linear programming (LP) rounding algorithms and a hybrid algorithm that we design by combining the greedy and LP rounding algorithms.Over the range of test data
Population genomics shows no distinction between pathogenic Candida krusei and environmental Pichia kudriavzevii: One species, four names.
We investigated genomic diversity of a yeast species that is both an opportunistic pathogen and an important industrial yeast.Under the name Candida krusei, it is responsible for about 2% of yeast infections caused by Candida species in humans.Bloodstream infections with C.krusei are problematic because most isolates are fluconazole-resistant.Under
Lr39 + Pm21: a new effective combination of resistance genes for leaf rust and powdery mildew in wheat
Two effective resistance genes were introduced, one for leaf rust (Lr39) and the other for powdery mildew (Pm21), into the susceptible Suspension Control Arm Bolt German wheat cv.Lexus.Molecular selection of plant material was carried out using closely linked markers to the introduced genes (foreground selection).In addition, for the BC1F1 populati
New fungi causing postharvest spoilage of cucumber fruits and their molecular characterization in Egypt
This work was carried out during two successive seasons (2016 and 2017) on cucumber fruits from a plastic greenhouse and from open field cultivation in El Gharbeia and El Giza Governorates, Egypt.Isolation trials from spoilage fruit samples of plastic greenhouse cultivation recorded high frequency of Alternaria tenusinium, Fusarium spp.and Pleospor
