POSSIBILITIES OF ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE CONTROL METHODS AGAINST ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT SLUGS WITH EMPHASIS ON THE RESULTS OF DOMESTIC RESEARCHES OF CONTROLLING ARIONIDAE SLUGS [PDF]
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2016 Slugs from the Arionidae and Limacidae families are classified as an important economic agricultural pests. They are omnivorous animals. Slugs are sensitive to drying out, so they are active at night and in cloudy, rainy weather.

Characteristics and forces due to slugs in an 'S' shaped riser [PDF]
, 2003 The characteristics and forces due to slugs in an 'S' shaped riser have been investigated. A series of experiments were carried out using the Cranfield University Riser Test Facility, using a 9.9m high riser. Single phase (water) and two phase (air and

Source mechanism regimes for the acoustic signals generated during the expansion of rising and bursting gas slugs in low-viscosity magmas. [PDF]
, 2010 V53C-2281 Strombolian eruptive activity produces gas-rich, magma-poor ejecta suggesting the separation and concentration of volcanic gases within the plumbing system. These gases may then rise as relatively large bubble rafts or individual 'slug' bubbles,

Slugs (Arionidae) benefit from nocturnal artificial illumination.
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2018 Artificial illumination increases around the globe and this has been found to affect many groups of organisms and ecosystems. By manipulating nocturnal illumination using one large experimental field site with 24 streetlights and one dark control, we ...

Molecular Carcinogenesis, 2010 AbstractThe zinc finger transcription factor Slug (Snai2) serves a wide variety of functions in the epidermis, with roles in skin development, hair growth, wound healing, skin cancer, and sunburn. Slug is expressed in basal keratinocytes and hair follicles where it is important in maintaining epidermal homeostasis.
