VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

Forensic challenges in a case of suspected filicide, matricide, and post‐mortem dismemberment

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Familicide represents one of the most complex forms of domestic violence in forensic practice. Among intrafamilial homicides, filicide and matricide pose major medico‐legal and criminological challenges, particularly when autopsy findings are nonspecific or severely altered by post‐mortem changes.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Responses to and detoxification of esculin in white-rot fungi

Fungal Biology
Plant metabolites have a great potential for limiting the spread of harmful fungi. However, a better understanding of the mode-of-action of these molecules and the defense systems developed by fungi to resist them, is needed to assess the benefits/risks of using them as antifungal treatment. White-rot fungi are excellent models in this respect, as they

Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

Optimization of process conditions for white-rot fungi fermentation of cassava starch residue and study on its fermentation quality

Siliao yanjiu
The experiment aimed to investigate the optimal fermentation conditions of white-rot fungi for cassava starch residue and its fermentation quality. Adopting a four-factor three-level orthogonal experimental design, with four factors including white-rot ...
