Abstract Laboratory trials were performed to determine the impact of three Neotropical predatory coccinellids (Cycloneda sanguinea, Eriopis connexa and Coleomegilla quadrifasciata) and a minute pirate bug (Orius insidiosus) on Chaetosiphon fragaefolii, an important strawberry aphid pest.The predation on C.fragaefolii nymphs and adults, as well as t
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has garnered significant attention in the fields of cancer treatment and drug-resistant bacteria eradication due to its non-invasive nature and spatiotemporal controllability.Iridium complexes have captivated researchers owing to their tunable structure, exceptional optical properties, and substantial Stokes displacement.
A wide spectrum of anomalies of the pancreas, the pancreatic ductal system and the biliary Pencil Sharpeners tree are commonly encountered at radiologic evaluation.Pancreas bifidum, also known as bifid pancreas or fish-tail pancreas, is an extremely rare congenital branching anomaly of the main pancreatic duct characterized by its duplication.These
The use of non-contact-techniques for rock mass characterization has been growing significantly over the last decade.However, their application to stability assessment of ornamental stone has not yet received much attention from researchers.This study utilizes rock mass data both in terms of slope orientations and degree of fracturing obtained from
Diagrammatic iconicity is usually investigated at the surface syntactic level of texts.In this paper, I try to show that a meaningful concept of iconicity cannot be found on this level in PVC Short Dressage Girth With Eco-Wool Lining non-trivial instructional texts.Instead, we have to dive deeper into semantic and conceptual structure.I present a m
