The potential of semiochemicals to lure insect pests to a trap where they can be killed with biopesticides has been demonstrated as an eco-friendly pest management alternative.In this study, we tested two recently characterized male-produced aggregation pheromones of the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom), namely (R)-lavandulyl 3-
The silicification mechanism in sponges is a biologically controlled process where the complex and amazing shape of spicules is the result of the hierarchical assembly of silicon particles to form a composite structure with organic compounds, mainly constituted by proteins.In this work, using an integrated approach of transcriptomic and proteomic a
Social distancing measures have been implemented in many countries to limit the spread of COVID-19.Emerging literature reveals that fear of acquiring COVID-19 has detrimental psychological ramifications.However, it seems likely that social distancing will have a further negative impact on well-being.The focus of this study was therefore Chip to inv
To improve the resource recovery efficiency of mining face in thick coal seams, the correlation between deformation failure of bottom coal in the gob-side entry and coal pillar width was analyzed by theoretical analysis, numerical calculation, and similar simulation experiments.The results showed that, when the coal pillar was strong, with the decr
Sleep-related movement disorders should be differentiated from parasomnias, sleep-associated behavioral disorders, and epilepsy.Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard in evaluating such disorders.Periodic leg movement disorder during sleep (PLMS), hypnic jerks, bruxism, rhythmic movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, CREATINE
