Cabbage pest control with local inert dusts: do diatomaceous earth and wood ash have the highest potential?

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. alba) production in Europe faces challenges from insecticide resistance and environmental concerns. Inert dusts offer a promising alternative, but their field efficacy remains underexplored.

β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.
Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Moisture content and application rates of inert dust: effects on dust and wheat physical properties

Food Research, 2022
Grain protectants such as inert dust help prevent quality deterioration during post-harvest storage. Understanding the physical characteristics of inert dust and inert dust treated wheat kernels could help develop solutions to flow problems of stored grain.
