Cold EI—The Way to Improve GC‐MS and Increase Its Range of Applications
ABSTRACT Gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) with Cold electron ionization (EI) is based on interfacing the GC and MS with a supersonic molecular beam (SMB) along with electron ionization of vibrationally cold sample compounds in the SMB in a contact‐free fly‐through ion source (hence the name Cold EI).

Insights Into Bifenthrin Stereoisomers and Their Regulatory Implications
Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide with two stereogenic centers, generating four stereoisomers with distinct physicochemical and electronic properties. A combined crystallographic and density functional theory study, supported by Hirshfeld surface, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital, and reactivity descriptor analyses ...

ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and
