Block Variational Bayesian Algorithm for Multiple Target Localization With Unknown and Time-Varying Transmit Powers in WSNs

Target localization is an important research field in wireless sensor networks and the received signal strength (RSS)-based method is of particular interest.Since traditional RSS-based method is invalid for simultaneously localizing multiple targets, the compressive sensing theory has been applied to develop an effective localization framework in r

Genome-wide analysis for root and leaf architecture traits associated with drought tolerance at the seedling stage in a highly ecologically diverse wheat population

Drought stress occurred at early growth stages in wheat affecting the following growth stages.Therefore, selecting promising drought-tolerant genotypes with highly adapted traits at the seedling stage is an important task for wheat breeders and geneticists.Few research efforts were conducted on the genetic control for drought-adaptive traits at the
