A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management. [PDF]

Arch Insect Biochem Physiol
1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.

A dataset on bathymetry and hydrology of an emerging periglacial lagoon in Svalbard, ArcticMendeley Data [PDF]

Data in Brief
In recent decades, the melting of glaciers has led to a consistent increase in the number of periglacial coastal lagoons that form in the place of receding glaciers in Svalbard, European Arctic. There is limited data on the geomorphology and hydrology of

Statistical Evaluation of the Impacts Detection Methodology (IDM) to Detect Critical Damage Occurrences during Quay Cranes Handling Operations

Machines, 2023
During various marine container handling operations, performed mainly in larger-scale container terminals, containers get damaged regularly. Our previous studies showed that each physical impact results in some form of physical deformation of the ...

Evaluating the Impact of 222 nm Far-UVC Radiation on the Aesthetic and Mechanical Properties of Materials Used in Public Bus Interiors

Applied Sciences, 2023
The use of 222 nm far-UVC radiation can be an effective means of disinfecting public buses against viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. However, it can cause degradation of the mechanical and visual properties of interior materials.
