- Abstract:
- ... The plant mirid bugs, Lygus pratensis Linnaeus and Polymerus cognatus Fieber, are key pests on economically important cotton crops and ecologically important grassland in northwestern China. Lambda-cyhalothrin is frequently used against mirid bugs in the regions. In this study, we examined the sublethal and transgenerational effects of short-term exposure to lambda-cyhalothrin on biological traits ...

- Abstract:
- ... The presence of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonates (Cl-PFAESs) in humans has attracted great attention in recent decades. However, information on their exposure sources and the influence of age and gender on Cl-PFAES concentrations in human serum is still limited. In this study, eighty-five serum samples were collected from the general population in Anji, ...

- Abstract:
- ... Direct contact measurements for rock mass discontinuities are generally difficult to perform, time consuming, biased, and often dangerous. This paper presents an automatic characterization method for rock mass discontinuities that uses 3D point clouds, which can be obtained through non-contact measuring techniques such as photogrammetry and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). In this method, five ...

- Abstract:
- ... The hypersensitive response (HR) is a defense action against pathogen ingression. Typically, HR is predictable with the appearance of the dead, brown cells along with visible lesions. Although death during HR can be limited to the cells in direct contact with pathogens, yet cell death can also spread away from the infection site. The variety in morphologies of plant cell death proposes involvement ...

While linked to consumption and trafficking (primary contamination), their spread is due to direct contact with other banknotes during machine counting and cash financial transactions. The mere detection of traces of cocaine on a sample of banknotes is therefore n ...

Previous research has shown that OSs share some features with regular Pavlovian CSs. Amongst them, research has shown that OSs are subject to blocking; that is, a new OS exerts reduced behavioral control after training in compound with a previously established OS. Of additiona ...
