Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

RE 4Al13Pt9—New Representatives in the RE–Al–Pt System with the Ho4Ge9Ir13‐Type Structure (RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy)

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The RE4Al13Pt9 series has been extended to RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy. The compounds have been investigated by X‐ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Of the RE4Al13Pt9 series, the RE = Ce, Pr, and Eu representatives were previously reported. In this work we extend the series to RE = Y, La‐Nd, Sm, Gd‐Dy.

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

Effects of Beeswax Coating on the Oxidative Stability of Long-Ripened Italian Salami

Journal of Food Quality, 2017
Beeswax coating of foods put a barrier to oxygen, light, and vapour that can help to prevent oxidation of fat and pigments and water loss. The amounts of 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and water activity (Aw) were assessed in Italian ...

Commercial treaties and political transformation in Sulu and Southeast Asian littorals, c. 1830–1840

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article re‐examines an economic treaty concluded between Spain and the Sulu Sultanate in 1836. Analysing the Tausug (Jawi) and Spanish treaty versions alongside archival sources from Spain, the Philippines, and England, it traces the impact of indigenous agency beyond the formal signatories on economic and political transformations ...

Beeswax-modified biopolymer aerogel: A sustainable approach to hydrophobic oil absorbing materials

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
This study presents for the first time a sustainable approach to hydrophobic modification of nanocellulose/chitosan bioaerogels using beeswax emulsion. The incorporation of beeswax into the aerogel matrix resulted in increasing the density from 35.1 to ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

How Do SMEs Respond to Deglobalization? Insights from Italian SMEs in the Interwar Period (1936–1943)

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates how small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) respond to deglobalization and economic nationalism, using historical evidence from fascist Italy, a period of autarky and restricted international trade. While prior research has focused primarily on larger firms, especially multinational enterprises (MNEs), the strategic ...

Enhancing solar water heater efficiency: A study on heat transfer with phase change material

Results in Engineering
Solar energy, known for its abundance, affordability, and renewability, plays a crucial role in domestic applications. However, its intermittent nature demands efficient storage systems. This study proposes using beeswax, a low-melting-point phase change
