Biotic potential and reprodutcive parameters of Spodoptera eridania (Stoll) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) in the laboratory: This study aimed to evaluate the biotic potential and reproductive parameters of Spodoptera eridania (Stoll, 1782) under controlled conditions (25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% RH and 14 hour photophase). The longevity, pre-, postand oviposition periods, fecundity and fertility of 15 couple...

background: human leukocyte antigen-g (hla-g) is a non-classical class i molecule highly expressed by extravillous cytotrophoblast cells. due to a single base pair deletion, its function can be compensated by other isoforms. investigating the frequency of null allele in recurrent miscarriage (rm) subjects could be useful in understanding the relationship between frequency of this allele and rm ...

ABSTRACT We present the analysis of XMM–Newton observations two X-ray luminous cool core clusters, RXCJ1504.1-0248 and Abell 1664. The Reflection Grating Spectrometer reveals a radiative cooling rate $180\pm 40\, \rm M_{\odot }\rm \, yr^{-1}$ $34\pm 6\, in 1664 for gas above 0.7 keV, respectively. These rates are higher than star formation observed clusters support simultaneous molecular mass g...

In IEEE 802.11, the rate of a station (STA) is dynamically determined by link adaptation. Low-rate STAs tend to hog more channel time than high-rate STAs due to fair characteristics of carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance, leading to overall throughput degradation. It can be improved by limiting the transmission opportunities of low-rate STAs by backoff parameters. This, however, m...

BACKGROUND Although uterine fibroids have been associated with spontaneous miscarriage, to our knowledge there have been no studies in the literature assessing their role in the recurrent miscarriage (RM) population. The aims of this study are to examine the impact of different types of fibroids on the pregnancy outcome of women with RM and to investigate to what extent resection of fibroids di...

Recent studies have suggested that predatory mirid bugs may be an effective alternative for controlling aphids in sweet pepper greenhouses. This study examined the effect of three constant temperatures (18, 24, and 30 °C) on life history traits species Nesidiocoris tenuis, Macrolophus pygmaeus, Dicyphus bolivari, preying aphid Myzus persicae nicotianae plants. As temperature increased, survival...

The degradation of poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) by means of ultrasound irradiation and itscombination with heterogenous photocatalysis (TiO2 nanoparticles) was investigated. Emphasiswas given on the effect of additive on degradation rate constants. 24 kHz of ultrasoundirradiation was provided by a sonicator, while an ultraviolet source of 30 W was used for UVirradiation. To increase the effic...
