Molecular Identification of stink bug (Pentatomidae sp. BD39) and pod sucking bug (Mirperus sp.) associated with crops under rotation

Abstract One of the problems facing agricultural production in Nigeria is the pests and diseases, which farmers depend heavily on the use of chemicals for their control. However, in time of outbreak of invasive species, difficulties amount on the proper identifications of these species for proper record and management strategies due to reliance

Blankness in post‐post‐postmodern poetry

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract Jameson's “myth” identifies reification as the leading cause of cultural change. The myth also adumbrates the semiotic form of post‐postmodernism and post‐post‐postmodernism, which Jameson himself did not explore. One of the most extreme varieties of post‐post‐postmodern verse is the would‐be blank poem, pursued by Russian Futurists, Lettrists,

Studies on the efficacy of black soap and kerosene mixture on the control of Pod sucking bugs (Clavigralla tomentosicollis stal.) on Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)

Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2007
Field experiment testing of various concentrations (2, 4, 6 and 8% vol/vol) of an aqueous black soap and kerosene as a control for pod damage by Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stal. indicated that the 8% concentration was the most effective in reducing pod injury and increasing the yield of seed in ?DanSokoto' cowpeas. None of the treatments significantly

A bioassay for studying behavioural responses of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) to bed bug-derived volatiles. [PDF]

, 2011
The common bed bug, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), has recently re-emerged in increasing numbers, distribution and intensity of infestation in many countries.

Development and Validation of Daping Orthopedics Operative Risk Scoring System for Geriatric Hip Fracture (DOORS‐GHF) for Predicting Postoperative Outcomes in Geriatric Hip Fracture Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed and validated the DOORS‐GHF, a novel dedicated operative risk scoring system for geriatric hip fracture, which outperformed existing scores with superior predictive accuracy and clinical utility. ABSTRACT Objective With China's accelerating population aging, geriatric hip fractures pose a growing clinical challenge. High comorbidity burden

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post‐exercise recovery in well‐trained cyclists

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Exhaustive cycling exercise substantially reduces liver and muscle glycogen stores. During 12 h of post‐exercise recovery without carbohydrate intake, glycogen stores remain depleted. In contrast, when carbohydrate is consumed at 10 g/kg body mass (BM), provided during the first 6 h as sucrose beverages (1.2 g/kg BM/h), liver ...
