Molecular surveillance of drug resistance: Plasmodium falciparum artemisinin resistance single nucleotide polymorphisms in Kelch protein propeller (K13) domain from Southern Pakistan

Abstract Background K13 propeller (k13) polymorphism are useful molecular markers for tracking the emergence and spread of artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum.Polymorphisms are reported from Cambodia with rapid invasion of the population and almost near fixation in south East Asia.The study describes single nucleotide polymorphisms in K

A Comparison of Physical-Based and Statistical-Based Radiative Transfer Models in Retrieving Atmospheric Temperature Profiles from the Microwave Temperature Sounder-II Onboard the Feng-Yun-3 Satellite

The statistical retrieval of atmospheric parameters will be greatly affected by the accuracy of the simulated brightness temperatures (BTs) derived from the radiative transfer model.However, it is challenging to further improve a physical-based radiative transfer model (RTM) developed based on the physical mechanisms of wave transmission through th
