Apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) is a major pest causing considerable economic losses of fruits in North America. During the development of international trade, apple maggot fly has become a threat to Chinese agriculture. In this study, CLIMEX and ArcGIS were used to predict the potential geographical distribution of apple maggot fly in China. The parameters used in CLIMEX for app...

Fly ash and ambient emissions of municipal solid waste incinerators contain polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), other organic compounds, metals, and gases. Hazardous substances such as PCDD/Fs, mercury vapors and other silicates, and the components of bottom ash and fly ash elevate the oxidative damage. We compared oxidative da...

A diet for rearing the house fly, Musca domestica (L.), was developed from feed constituents available on a year-round basis in Gainesville, FL. The diet, called the Gainesville House Fly Diet, performed as well or better than the Chemical Specialties Manufacturers' Association fly larval medium (CSMA) and can be mixed, bagged, and delivered by a local feed mill within 3 d. By adding pelleted p...

S Tumps in animal cells (reviewed by Rappaport, 1986; Satterwhite and Pollard, 1992; Fishkind and Wang, 1995) provide a view of cytokinesis whereby in each dividing cell, a contractile ring of interdigitated anti-parallel actin and bipolar myosin (nonmuscle myosin II) filaments forms in the equatorial region of the cell cortex, and then constricts, in purse string-like fashion, to pinch the cel...

As green building material, fly ash is advantageous to solving the question of environmental protection and energy conservation. In this paper, combined with the author’s research production, the latest development of studies and applications of activation techniques of fly ash is summed up, which is being looked forward to being useful to researchers and engineers. The latest researches show t...

Airborne fly ash from coal combustion may represent a source of bioavailable iron (Fe) in the open ocean. However, few studies have focused on Fe speciation and distribution in coal fly ash. In this study, chemical imaging of fly ash has been performed using a dual-beam focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope (FIB/SEM) system for a better understanding of how simulated atmospheric process...

Biting flies are economically important blood-feeding pests of medical and veterinary significance. Chemosensory-based biting fly behaviours, such as host/nutrient source localization and ovipositional site selection, are intriguing targets for the development of supplemental control strategies. In an effort to expand our understanding of biting fly chemosensory pathways, transcripts encoding t...

in this study, fish meal (fm) was replaced by the black soldier fly maggot meal (bsfm) with replacement levels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. the feeding trial was conducted for 56 days and the effect of each replacement level on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and survival of the experimental fish was assessed. all the experimental diets were well accepted by the fis...

goat warble-fly infestation is caused by przhevalskiana silenus (diptra oestridae) larvae and it is characterized by the presence of warble under the hide of the back and flanks of the animal. this study was carried out from march 2009 to march 2010 on the hides sent to the khorasn leather industries for grading, processing and tanning. this study demonstrated from 340,797 goat hides examined 3...

Two field trials were conducted to evaluate if filth fly trap efficacy was increased by augmentation with an insecticide application to the trap's exterior. Four Fly Terminator Pro traps (Farnam Companies, Inc, Phoenix, AZ) baited with Terminator Fly Attractant (in water) were suspended on polyvinyl chloride pipe framing at a municipal waste transfer site in Clay County, Florida. The outer surf...
