A METHODOLOGY FOR PHYSICALLY BASED ROCKFALL HAZARD ASSESSMENT

A methodology for physically based rockfall hazard assessment

Rockfall hazard assessment is not simple to achieve in practice and sound, physically based assessment methodologies are still missing.The mobility of rockfalls implies a more difficult hazard definition with respect to other slope instabilities with minimal runout.Rockfall hazard assessment involves complex definitions for "occurrence probabi

De novo assembly of transcriptome and genome-wide identification reveal GA3 stress-responsive WRKY transcription factors involved in fiber formation in jute (Corchorus capsularis)

Abstract Background WRKY is a group of transcription factors (TFs) that play a vital role in plant growth, development, and stress tolerance.To date, none of jute WRKY (CcWRKY) genes have been identified, even if jute (Corchorus capsularis) is one of the most important natural fiber crops in the world.Little information about the WRKY genes in jute
