Olfactory host location and host preference of Holepyris sylvanidis (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) and Cephalonomia waterstoni (Bethylidae), two natural enemies of Tribolium and Cryptolestes species

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Parasitoids can suppress populations of their host and thus play a primary role in Integrated Pest Management. In the stored product environment, stimuli deriving from plant products, damaged plant products and hosts might be important for host location ...

Scalable Fabrication of MOF Glass Membranes for Gas Separation via Stepwise Phase Transition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic framework (MOF) glass membranes, with their excellent processability and permanent pore structure, have great potential for gas separation applications. However, during large‐scale fabrication, defects and obvious cracks are prone to occur due to the limitations of powder processing.

Surface‐Engineered Ti3C2Tx MXene/Cu2O Photocathodes for Highly Selective Photoelectrocatalytic CO2 Reduction to Ethanol

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐engineering Ti3C2Tx MXenes with an in situ‐grown TiO2 layer on the surface in combination with visible‐light‐absorbing Cu2O significantly enhances charge separation and carrier extraction while improving Cu2O resistance to photocorrosion. The resulting Cu2O/TiO2‐MXene photocathodes enable highly selective, solar‐driven ethanol production ...

Mechanistic Control of Cathode–Electrolyte Interphase Formation in Gel Polymer Electrolyte for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
To regulate a distinct degradation pathway introduced by residual monomers in in‐situ gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), tris(4‐fluorophenyl)phosphine (TFPP) is coupled with a voltage hold (VH) protocol. TFPP first covers the high‐Ni cathode surface and then preferentially decomposes during the hold step, forming a cathode–electrolyte interphase (CEI ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.
