SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, restores pyrethroid efficacy against cabbage stem flea beetle but negatively impacts its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
SYN‐A, a naturally derived synergist, inhibited key metabolic pathways associated with pyrethroid insecticide resistance in cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB) and its parasitoid Microctonus brassicae. SYN‐A restored pyrethroid efficacy against resistant CSFB allowing up to 80% reduction in application rates.

Strategic Design of Public Food Procurement to Leverage Positive Food Systems Outcomes: A Framework of Actions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is substantial potential for the procurement of food by public institutions to contribute to Sustainable Development across multiple environmental, social, and economic outcomes. In this study we used theories of policy instrumentation and learning to analyse global guidance for designing public food procurement instruments to leverage ...

Catalytic Scalable Synthesis of Polyketides Enabled by Chiral Brønsted Acid‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylborations

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
The scalable synthesis of target molecules is crucial for applications such as biological evaluation in medicinal chemistry and even industrial production. We described recent advances in chiral Brønsted acid–catalyzed asymmetric allylboration, which enables access to previously elusive chiral building blocks, and highlight its application to the ...

Tributyltin Protumorigenic Effects Targeting Prostate Cancer Cell Metabolism, Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is an endocrine‐related cancer highly dependent on androgenic signaling. Beyond hormone dependence, extrinsic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing PCa, which raises concern about the influence of environmental compounds such as endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Tributyltin (TBT) is an EDC used in

Consolidation Apparatus for Testing Unsaturated Soils

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1996
Abstract An apparatus for performing consolidation tests under K0 conditions was designed and constructed for testing unsaturated soils. Three types of consolidation tests are of interest in unsaturated soils. These are: (1) constant water content loading tests, (2) consolidation under a net total stress, and (3) consolidation under a ...

Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslide on Unsaturated Soil Slopes

, 2017
This paper investigates rainfall-induced landslides on partially saturated soil slopes using the 2011 Umyeonsan landslides at the center of Seoul, Korea. An integrated analysis of rainfall-induced landslide was carried out through laboratory tests, field

Thirty-Ninth Canadian Geotechnical Colloquium: Unsaturated soil mechanics — bridging the gap between research and practice

Canadian geotechnical journal (Print), 2018
The majority of geoengineering applications occur in the unsaturated (vadose) zone, which is the near-surface region forming the connection between meteorological phenomena above and saturated ground below.

Effects of dopamine on reducing salt stress damage in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) at morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Salt stress causes oxidative and osmotic stress, resulting in decreased nutrient uptake, plant growth, and photosynthetic rate. This study suggests that foliar application of dopamine can reduce salinity‐induced oxidative damage in pepper plants by altering antioxidant activity, biochemical, and molecular responses.
