Englacial temperature is a major control on ice rheology and flow.However, it is difficult to measure at the glacier to ice-sheet scale.As a result, ice-sheet models must make assumptions about englacial temperature and rheology, which affect sea level projections.This is problematic if fundamental processes are not captured by models due to a lack
Drought is a serious factor limiting rice production, and it leads to huge economic losses.Considering the current and projected global food demand, increasing productivity of drought-prone crops has become critical.In order to achieve the production target, rice drought-tolerant germplasm resources are an important prerequisite for the development
Abstract Background Adventitious viral contamination in cell substrates used for biologicals production is a major safety concern.A powerful new approach that can be used to identify adventitious viruses is a combination of switch power wire bioinformatics tools with massively parallel sequencing technology.Typically, this involves mapping or BLAST
