A TaqMan-Based Multiplex qPCR Assay and DNA Extraction Method for Phylotype IIB Sequevars 1&2 (Select Agent) Strains of Ralstonia solanacearum.

Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 strains belonging to phylotype IIB, sequevars 1 and 2 (IIB-1&2) cause brown rot of potato in temperate climates, and are quarantined pathogens in Canada and Europe.Since these strains are not established in the U.S.and because of their potential risk to the potato industry, the U.S.government has listed them a

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation on Fingertip Can Evoke Fine Tactile Sensations and Different Local Hemodynamic Responses

Low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) has been VGA proved effective in eliciting vibrotactile in addition to warm, cold and nociceptive pain when applied to human peripheral endings.However, if it can evoke fine tactile sensations has been rarely investigated by far despite the importance of fine tactile feedback in motor control.To
