Catechol‐Containing Poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline): Synthesis and Thermoresponsive Behavior in Aqueous Salt Solutions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polymers carrying catechol groups are interesting mussel‐inspired materials for wet adhesion applications or metal ion complexation for wastewater treatment. Here, catechol‐containing poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline)s were synthesized via microwave‐assisted cationic (co)polymerization and examined with regard to their thermoresponsive LCST behavior in ...

Combination of Methoprene and Controlled Aeration to Manage Insects in Stored Wheat

Insects, 2016
A commercial formulation of the insect growth regulator methoprene was applied to wheat stored in small bins either alone or in combination with controlled aeration of the bins, to lower grain temperature for insect pest management of stored wheat. Grain

Role of morphological factors of pigeonpea in imparting resistance to spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata Geyer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) [PDF]

, 2016
Morphological characters of eleven test genotypes of pigeonpea, such as growth habit, pubescence of pods and leaves, pod angle and pod wall thickness were studied in order to work out the relationship of these traits vis-à-vis resistance/susceptibility ...

Opportunities for 2D‐Material‐Based Multifunctional Devices and Systems in Bioinspired Neural Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired computing offers a route to highly energy‐efficient artificial intelligence. The unique physical properties of two‐dimensional (2D) materials can further enhance such computing approaches. This perspective highlights recent developments in 2D materials‐based neuromorphic devices and discusses future opportunities for integrating such novel

Phosphine resistance status in lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) strains originating from the tropical countries

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Stored product beetles that are resistant to the fumigant phosphine (hydrogen phosphide) have been reported for more than 50 years in many places worldwide. The high levels of phosphine resistance in lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) have been

Unlocking Energy Potential: Exploiting Anionic Redox Activity in Na‐Based Layered Oxides

Small, EarlyView.
Anionic redox in Na‐based layered oxide cathodes unlocks additional capacity beyond conventional transition‐metal redox limits, enabling high‐energy sodium‐ion batteries. This review elucidates coupled cationicanionic redox mechanisms across P2‐, O3‐, and related structural phases, while critically addressing key challenges such as voltage hysteresis ...

Development of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.) on malt barley and fodder barley grain [PDF]

Progress in Plant Protection, 2013
Summary A study was carried out to determine the effect of barley grain used for different purposes (malt or fodder production) on the development of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.). The development of the pest insect was investigated on the grain of barley cultivars belonged to two different utilization types. The grain from cultivars

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...
