Effect of Catharanthus roseus (L.) (Apocyneaceae) extract on developmental stages of Erias favia stall

Environment Conservation Journal, 2003
Developmental defect in Erias favia was investigated due to aqueous extract of Catharanthus roseus. The extract caused significant reduction in adult emergence as well as in percentage of egg hatch in Erias favia.

Rodent pest control

Veterinarski glasnik, 2019
Background. Rodent pests are natural reservoirs and vectors of a vast array of human and animal diseases caused by bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, protozoans, fungi and some parasites. The most important risk factor for human infection with Trichinella is the rearing of pigs on small farms and by rural households, if rodent pest control is not conducted

How to Manufacture Photonic Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Metamaterials boast applications such as invisibility and “hyperlenses” with resolution beyond the diffraction limit, but these applications haven’t been exploited in earnest and the market for them hasn’t grown much likely because facile and economical methods for fabricating them without defect has not emerged.
