Conservation biological control consists of managing agroecosystem to maintain and enhance the action natural enemies. Agroforestry systems such as shaded coffee system has been shown high diversity organisms, including predators parasitoids insect pest. The berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei, is one most widely distributed pests frequently causing severe economic damage. Ants have reported...

Software agents help automate a variety of tasks including those involved in buying and selling products over the Internet. This paper surveys several of these agent-mediated electronic commerce systems by describing their roles in the context of a Consumer Buying Behavior (CBB) model. The CBB model we present augments traditional marketing models with concepts from Software Agents research to ...

The Coffee Berry Borer (CBB) (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari)(Coleoptera:Curculionidae:Scolytinae) is a major pest of coffee plants. It caused damage to berries and economic losses for farmers. Various technologies have been carried out control CBB, including cultural biological, chemical, sanitation. However, the technology only few literature that discussed effectiveness efficiency, both sociall...

common bacterial blight (cbb) caused by xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli is a serious disease of bean fields in iran and the world. chemical control of cbb is inefficient, therefore the use of resistant genotypes with stability production is the most suitable alternative. stability and adaptability of 26 bean genotypes yield in the presence and absence of cbb were evaluated in agricultural r...

The genes encoding enzymes of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) reductive pentose phosphate pathway in Rhodobacter capsulatus are organized in at least two operons, each preceded by a separate cbbR gene, encoding potential LysR-type transcriptional activators. As a prelude to studies of cbb gene regulation in R. capsulatus, the nucleotide sequence of a 4,537-bp region, which included cbbRII, was ...

BACKGROUND Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) is a purple non-sulfur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium that belongs to the class of proteobacteria. It is capable of absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and converting it to biomass via the process of photosynthesis and the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle. Transketolase is a key enzyme involved in the CBB cycle. Here, we reveal the funct...

The Bransfield Basin is a young (∼4 Ma) back-arc basin related to the remnant subduction of Phoenix Plate that once existed along entire Pacific margin Antarctic Peninsula. Based on recently deployed amphibious seismic network, we use ambient noise tomography obtain S-wave velocity structure in Central (CBB). Combining with stress field inverted from focal mechanisms, our images reveal CBB suff...

2,2,2-Trichloroethanol (TCE) incorporated into polyacrylamide gels before polymerization provides fluorescent visible detection of proteins in less than 5min of total processing time. The tryptophans in proteins undergo an ultraviolet light-induced reaction with trihalocompounds to produce fluorescence in the visible range so that the protein bands can be visualized on a 300-nm transilluminator...

Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)) by α-chitin nanoparticles (CNP) prepared from Penaeus monodon (Fabr...

The coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei (CBB) is a major pest of coffee, and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Bb) used worldwide for its biological control. Commercial formulations Bb are sprayed on but local isolates may also provide some level natural We compared selected from CBB-infested fruits in Puerto Rico against commercial strain, GHA, derived Mycotrol®. Isolates were...
