AN EVALUATION OF KERNEL ZINC IN HYBRIDS OF ELITE QUALITY PROTEIN MAIZE (QPM) AND NON-QPM INBRED LINES ADAPTED TO THE TROPICS BASED ON A MATING DESIGN

Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency dual-penetration-strapon among populations who rely on maize as a staple.Inbred lines of quality protein maize (QPM) and non-QPM with elevated Zn levels in the kernel have been identified.However, information about the optimal strategy to utilize the germplasm i

The WHOLE RYE article presents the results of the research and pedagogical project on the care practices implemented by the families of children and adolescents (NNA, for its abbreviation in Spanish) with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) in three health institutions in Medellin, Colombia.This qualitative research, from an interpretative pers

Relevance.The need to continue studying the patterns of distribution of physical properties of rocks by area and compare with previously conducted studies on the analysis of the distribution of rock density.Generally accepted approaches imply averaging constants, which are key in calculating the filtration-capacitive properties.A small amount of ac

IntroductionThe collection and process of human brain activity signals play an essential role in developing brain-computer interface (BCI) systems.A portable electroencephalogram (EEG) device has become an important tool for monitoring brain activity and diagnosing mental diseases.However, the miniaturization, portability, and scalability of EEG re
