Effects of Simultaneous Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus During Storage of Maize in Hermetic and Non‐Hermetic Conditions

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 465-472, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sitophilus zeamais (Mostschulsky), the maize weevil, and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, are two notorious insect pests of farm‐stored products in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The goal of this study was to determine whether there were interactions between P. truncatus and S. zeamais during storage.

Dry Cleaning and Post‐Cleaning Strategies in Food Processing Facilities: A Scoping Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective dry cleaning and post‐cleaning treatments are essential for maintaining food safety in dry‐food processing environments where water use must be minimized. This scoping review mapped and synthesized empirical research on minimal‐water cleaning methods applied to industrial surfaces, focusing on their efficacy against microbial and ...

Consequences of benzalkonium chloride tolerance for selection dynamics and de novo resistance evolution driven by antibiotics

npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Biocides are used in large amounts in industrial, medical, and domestic settings. Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a commonly used biocide, for which previous research revealed that Escherichia coli can rapidly adapt to tolerate BAC-disinfection, with ...

Dalle de verre Windows From the Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro: Artistic Technique and Glass Conservation

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 3, July 2026.
Glass samples from the Rio de Janeiro Cathedral (Brazil) were evaluated to characterize their mechanical and chemical stability. ABSTRACT The Cathedral of São Sebastião in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) contains a series of concrete stained‐glass windows made using the dalle de verre technique, which have undergone a natural degradation process.

Differential Selection for Survival and for Growth in Adaptive Laboratory Evolution Experiments With Benzalkonium Chloride

Evolutionary Applications
Biocides are used to control microorganisms across different applications, but emerging resistance may pose risks for those applications. Resistance to biocides has commonly been studied using adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments with growth ...

Ancient people and living nature: A global perspective on archaeological areas and biodiversity

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1085-1099, May 2026.
Abstract Archaeological sites are not only of cultural and historical significance but also contribute to biodiversity conservation. Often marked by limited human disturbance and distinct ecological conditions, these areas serve as important refuges for various plant and animal species, playing a vital role in global conservation efforts.
