Phenotypic stability of spring bread wheat regenerant lines by V. Yu. Stupko, A. V. Sidorov

“…Ten wheat regenerant lines (RLs), obtained under selective (NaCl, low pH, drought) and nonselective conditions on the basis of СС were assessed along with their donor genotypes or the ones considered equivalent to them (in the case where the breeding variety was a donor) under field conditions on plots of 1 m2. 1000 grain weight data were used for the evaluation of the agronomic (bi, s2di) and biological (σ2САСi) stability. …”

Priority Analysis of Influence Factors for Electric Vehicle Demand Response Strategies by Yin Yao, Yedong Zhu, Dongdong Li, Bo Zhou, Shunfu Lin

“…Electric vehicles (EVs) account for a relatively large proportion of demand-side resources, but individual and social factors have been less considered in multifactorial studies affecting EV participation in demand response (DR), and the multiscenario DR process has not been adequately studied. Therefore, an EV demand response strategy considering the influence of multiple factors is proposed in this paper. …”

Left Ventricular Assist Devices – Past, Present, and Future: A Narrative Review by Devesh Kumar, Sandeep Seth, Rajiv Narang

“…LVADs are truly a renaissance in the management of AHF as they make treatment available to a much larger population and improve not only symptoms and quality of life but also survival as compared to patients on medical therapy only. Consequently, they have now been adopted in many European centres as destination therapy with a median survival of 7 years in patients with a LVAD implantation. …”
