Effects of Three Pesticides on the Earthworm Lumbricus terrestris Gut Microbiota
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Earthworms play a vital role in the terrestrial ecosystem functioning and maintenance of soil fertility. However, many pesticides, for example, imidacloprid, benomyl, and metribuzin that are world-widely used in agriculture, may be potentially dangerous ...

Seismic Phase Association Based on the Maximum Likelihood Method
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Phase association is a process that links seismic phases triggered at the stations of a seismic network to declare the occurrence of earthquakes. During phase association, a set of phases from different stations is examined to determine the common origin
