A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Preliminary experimental results for a cryogenic brush seal configuration
Preliminary fluid nitrogen flow data are reported for a five-brush, ceramic-coated-rub-runner brush seal system, where the brushes and the rub runner were placed at each end of a centrally pressurized multifunction tester ('back-to-back' set of brushes ...

Arthropod conservation in roadside verges: Unmown refuges outperform mowing equipment changes
While roadside verges might have potential as connecting corridors for grassland habitats and their inhabitants, roadside mowing negatively impacts grassland arthropod densities. In contrast to unmown refuges, all mowing techniques harmed grassland arthropods, with no significant differences between mowing equipment.

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

Urban peatlands can harbour diverse insect communities but depend on appropriate habitat management
Urban peatlands can support high insect diversity, including endangered species and peat bog specialists. Flower diversity boosts endangered species, while succession cover reduces overall insect richness—but bog condition and urbanization showed no major effects.
