The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is considered one of the most destructive insect pests that can attack several vegetable crops worldwide.The behavior of choosing a host plant by whitefly can be significantly influenced by volatile organic compounds.The aim of this investigation is to identify and bioassay the volatile organic compounds emitted from uni
Abstract Background The prisoner population is characterised by a high burden of disease and social disadvantage, and ex-prisoners are at increased risk of death following release.Much of the excess mortality can be attributed to an increased risk of unnatural death, particularly from drug overdose; however, relatively few studies have investigated
Abstract Egg parasitoids play a significant role in biological control for lepidopteran insects, where they kill the eggs (the first stage of the developmental cycle).Trichogramma species are the very important ones of these egg parasitoids.Under natural conditions, adult Trichogramma species are known to feed upon nectar, pollen, and honeydew.Here
This paper surveys the rapidly growing field of performance-based wind engineering (PBWE) of engineered systems, with focus on not only how PBWE little giant chick brooder kit has evolved since its early incarnations inspired by performance-based seismic engineering, but also the unique challenges of PBWE and the research that continues to emerge t
