Oral RNAi reduces survival and grain loss in Rhyzopertha dominica, including phosphine‐resistant populations

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Oral delivery of dsRNA targeting essential genes reduces adult survival and grain damage in Rhyzopertha dominica, including highly phosphine‐resistant populations. These findings support RNAi as a complementary mode‐of‐action for resistance management and postharvest protection in stored‐grain systems. Abstract BACKGROUND Phosphine fumigation remains a

Experimental and Numerical Study of Water Mist Fire Suppression System Effectiveness on Shielded Fire

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of water mist on suppressing a shielded fire. Full-scale experiments are carried out in a partition room of (lxwxh) 2x2x2.5 m size.

The role of the synoptic‐scale conditions in driving fog and mist during the FATIMA July 2022 Sable Island Field program

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ERA5 hourly 325‐m and 1512‐m (a) convergence and (b) vertical motion (actually pressure change with sign reversed to compare with convergence) over Sable Island around the time of an event. The mist (green) and fog (red) occurrences at the surface station are shown at the bottom of the figures. A 325‐m fitted line convergence was positive for the first

Evolution of sea fog based on meteorological and oceanographic observations during FATIMA Yellow Sea campaign

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents a conceptual framework linking sea‐water temperature Tw gradients to the formation and persistence of sea fog in the southeastern Yellow Sea. Over cold waters maintained by tidal mixing, downward latent heat flux enhances lower‐level stability and sustains persistent sea fog, whereas over warmer waters, upward fluxes and thermal ...

An integrated system theoretic accident model and process (STAMP)-Bayesian network (BN) for safety analysis of water mist system on tanker ships

Applied Ocean Research
A water mist on tanker ships is a specialized fire suppression system intended to mitigate fire hazards on board. This innovative safety measure disperses microscopic water droplets, creating a mist that rapidly absorbs heat and suppresses fires by ...

Cyanogenic Compounds, Physicochemical Parameters and Metals in Water From Cassava Processing Areas: A Study in the Brazilian Amazon, Using Multivariate Analysis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the water quality of artesian wells and effluents generated in cassava processing in a rural area of Bragança, Pará, with emphasis on physicochemical parameters, multielement composition, and cyanogenic compounds. The well water presented specific nonconformities, highlighting pH values below the recommended level and high

Experimental Study on the Influence of High-Pressure Water Mist on the Ceiling Temperature of a Longitudinally Ventilated Tunnel

Fire
In this study, a tunnel model with a length of 20 m, a width of 5 m, and a height of 5 m was used, and an experimental investigation was conducted to examine the impact of high-pressure water mist on the temperature distribution along the tunnel ceiling.

Full-scale fire experiment using the old living but built in 1969 at Syowa Station, Antarctica and application of micro-fog fire extinguishing equipment

Antarctic Record, 2002
Some buildings have been brought back from Syowa Station in Antarctica after 30 years of use. One was used to investigate the combustion properties of the fire retarded plywood which was used in the walls.

Terrestrial Isopods as Biotic Generators of Microplastics Following Chronic Exposure to Weathered Low‐Density Polyethylene

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...
