Utility of 28S Ribosomal RNA Gene Domains for Molecular Classification and Phylogeny of Rhinonyssid Mites. [PDF]
The family Rhinonyssidae includes endoparasitic, blood-feeding mites that are parasitic on birds and that remain largely unstudied despite their potential role as vectors or reservoirs for various pathogens, like other Dermanyssoidea.

RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the most widely used techniques to study gene functions. There is still a lack of RNAi techniques that can be applied in Phytoseiidae conveniently and efficiently. Star Polycation is a new nanomaterial commonly used as a

Efficient preparation of the AKLT State with Measurement-based Imaginary Time Evolution [PDF]
Quantum state preparation plays a crucial role in several areas of quantum information science, in applications such as quantum simulation, quantum metrology and quantum computing. However, typically state preparation requires resources that scale exponentially with the problem size, due to their probabilistic nature or otherwise, making studying such ...

Visual diagnosis of the Varroa destructor parasitic mite in honeybees using object detector techniques [PDF]
The Varroa destructor mite is one of the most dangerous Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) parasites worldwide and the bee colonies have to be regularly monitored in order to control its spread. Here we present an object detector based method for health state monitoring of bee colonies. This method has the potential for online measurement and processing.

Effect oh health condition on aesthetic value of green spaces in Pionirski park in Belgrade [PDF]
The relation between health condition and aesthetic value of green spaces was studied in Pionirski Park. Mean ratings of these values were compared and analyzed for different plant categories (broadleaf trees, coniferous trees broadleaf shrubs, evergreen

Vietoris-Rips complexes of Platonic solids [PDF]
We determine the homotopy type of the Vietoris-Rips complexes of the (vertex sets of the) platonic solids. The most interesting case is that the Vietoris-Rips complex of the dodecahedron is a wedge of nine 3-spheres when the parameter is between combinatorial distance 3 and 4.
