Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences, 2015 Mosquito control is facing a threat because of the emergence of resistance to synthetic insecticides. Insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of leaf and seed hexane, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform and methanol extract of ...

Engineering Strategies for Stable and Long‐Life Alkaline Zinc‐Based Flow Batteries
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Alkaline zinc‐based flow batteries face persistent challenges from unstable zinc deposition, including dendrite growth, passivation, corrosion, and hydrogen evolution, which severely limit cycling stability. Current research addresses these issues through coordinated electrode structuring, electrolyte regulation, and membrane design to control zinc ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Gold bipyramids can act as efficient plasmonic nanoheaters, but they often reshape during laser heating. This study shows that oxygen nanobubbles drive oxidative etching and that surface ligands control stability. CTAB‐ and citrate‐coated particles blunt and lose optical performance, whereas polystyrene sulfonate preserves shape and heating by ...

The impacts of white‐tailed deer browsing and distance from the forest edge on soybean yield
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Many soybean (Glycine max) producers consider white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to be costly crop pests, and chemical repellants are an option for reducing deer damage.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Efficient two‐photon resonant Raman scattering (TRRS) is observed in the layered perovskite (PEA)2PbI4, with the biexciton level acting as an intermediate state. TRRS undergoes two‐photon frequency shift upon input frequency tuning, persists up to 90 K, and shows clear threshold behavior and polarization selection rules.

Assessing the long-distance repellency of long-lasting insecticide netting to a suite of post-harvest insects [PDF]
, 2018 Insects are our main competitors for food on the planet (1). In fact, growers lose 10-30% of crops during storage, processing, and marketing after harvest each year to stored product insects (2,3).

Structural and Chemical Engineering of Sub‐Nanochannel Membranes Toward Ion Selectivity
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes recent advances in structural and chemical engineering of sub‐nanochannels for ion selectivity. We first introduce fundamental ion transport mechanisms within sub‐nanochannels, followed by strategies to tune pore size, geometry, and surface functionalities, categorized into charge‐based, ion‐recognition, hydrophilic bonding, and ...
