Climate-Based Modeling and Prediction of Rice Gall Midge Populations Using Count Time Series and Machine Learning Approaches

Agronomy, 2021
The Asian rice gall midge (Orseolia oryzae (Wood-Mason)) is a major insect pest in rice cultivation. Therefore, development of a reliable system for the timely prediction of this insect would be a valuable tool in pest management.

Origin of Bluetongue Virus Serotype 8 Outbreak in Cyprus, September 2016

Viruses, 2020
In September 2016, clinical signs, indicative of bluetongue, were observed in sheep in Cyprus. Bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) was detected in sheep, indicating the first incursion of this serotype into Cyprus. Following virus propagation, Nextera XT

Moist habitats are essential for adults of the Antarctic midge, Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae), to avoid dehydration

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
Desiccation resistance of adult males and females of the midge, Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae) was evaluated to determine how this short-lived stage maintains water balance in the dry Antarctic environment. Both sexes had slightly lower water

Surface Avidity of Anionic Polypeptide Coatings on Layer‐by‐Layer Nanoparticles Target Cancer‐Associated Amino Acid Transporters

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electrostatically layered nanoparticles (NPs) coated with anionic polypeptides selectively target cancer cells by engaging amino acid transporters. Poly(L‐glutamate) (PLE) coatings cluster the glutamine transporter SLC1A5, prolonging NP surface retention, while poly(L‐aspartate) (PLD) coatings also bind SLC1A3, potentially promoting faster ...
