We collected 11 groups of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from various locations of Thailand. After rearing in the laboratory, the colonies were tested for KT50 values to dl,d-T80-allethrin 0.5% mosquito coils in a 25 m3 room semi-field test and KD50 and LD50 values to dl,d-T80-allethrin by a topical application method. Two groups of mosquitoes were susceptible to allethrin similar to a SS (known alle...

BACKGROUND Understanding the magnitude and direction of joint forces generated by hip strengthening exercises is essential for appropriate prescription and modification of these exercises. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hip joint forces created across a range of hip flexion and extension angles during two hip strengthening exercises: prone hip extension and supine hip flexion. METH...

In a previous paper (Eto et al., 1975), we found the metabolic formation of a quinol phosphate in houseflies from triphenyl phosphate, which has been known as a malathion synergist (Plapp et al., 1963). It has been also reported that the fungicide edifenphos (S, S-diphenyl ethyl phosphorodithiolate ; HinosanQ) was partially metabolized through p-hydroxylation in Pyricularia oryzae (Uesugi and T...

Sex Pheromone Components, Autographa gamma, Z -7-Dodecenyl Acetate, Z-7-Dodecenyl Alcohol Z-7-Dodecenyl acetate and Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol have been identified as sex pheromone components o f female Autographa gamma. This is the first time that Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol has been found in the natural pheromone o f Plusiinae. When incorporated in pheromone traps of some Plusiinae species the alcohol i...

PURPOSE This study explored the in vitro antioxidant and anti-platelet activities of hydroxytyrosol, hydroxytyrosol acetate, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol and two phenolic olive extracts. These compounds and extracts were obtained from a new industrial process to hydrothermally treat the alperujo (160 °C/60 min), a by-product of olive oil extraction. METHODS The extracts and the purified compound...
