The tropical root Ceramic weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus is a major pest of multiple crops in the Caribbean Islands and has become a serious constraint to citrus production in the United States.Recent work has identified host and conspecific volatiles that mediate host- and mate-finding by D.abbreviatus.The interaction of light, color, and odors has
The quinternary thiophosphate Cs0.5Ag0.5Nb2PS10, cesium silver tris(disulfido)[tetrathiophosphato(V)]diniobate(IV), has been prepared from the elements using a CsCl flux.The crystal structure is made up of ∞1[Nb2PS10] chains expanding along [010].These chains are built up from bicapped trigonal-prismatic [Nb2S12] units and tetrahedral [PS
Abstract A consistent ansatz for the Skyrme model in ($$3+1$$ 3+1 )-dimensions which is able to reduce the complete set of Skyrme field equations to just one equation for the profile in situations in which the Baryon charge can be arbitrary large is introduced: moreover, the field equation for the profile can be solved explicitly.Such configuration
As a prominent concern regarding implantable devices, eliminating the threat of opportunistic bacterial infection represents a significant benefit to both patient health and device function.Current treatment options focus Rabbit Vibrators on chemical approaches to negate bacterial adhesion, however, these methods are in some ways limited.The scope
A Spark ignition (SI) engine is a complex, multi-domain component of the vehicle powertrain system.The engine control module (ECM) for an SI Nail Scissors engine must achieve both high performance and good fuel efficiency.In this paper, we present a model-based development methodology for an open architecture ECM, addressing the entire development
