DE NOVO MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME SEQUENCING OF CLADONIA SUBULATA AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS WITH OTHER DISSIMILAR SPECIES.

De novo mitochondrial genome sequencing of Cladonia subulata and phylogenetic analysis with other dissimilar species.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Neurovascular Health Cladonia subulata (L.) FH Wigg was sequenced and assembled and then compared with those of other Cladonia species.The mitogenome of Cladonia subulata, the type species of Cladonia, consisted of a circular DNA molecule of 58,895 bp 44 genes (15 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA gene

Measurement of Entrance Surface Dose on an Anthropomorphic Thorax Phantom Using a Miniature Fiber-Optic Dosimeter

A miniature fiber-optic dosimeter (FOD) system was fabricated using a plastic scintillating fiber, a plastic optical fiber, and a multi-pixel photon counter to measure real-time entrance surface dose (ESD) during radiation diagnosis.Under varying exposure parameters of a Silicone Pad digital radiography (DR) system, we measured the scintillating li
