ASSESSMENT OF CHRYSOPERLA COMANCHE (BANKS) AND CHRYSOPERLA EXTERNA (HAGEN) AS BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS OF FRANKLINIELLA OCCIDENTALIS (PERGANDE) (THYSANOPTERA: THRIPIDAE) ON TOMATO (SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM) UNDER GLASSHOUSE CONDITIONS

We tested the predatory capacity of newly-hatched or newly-molted Chrysoperla comanche (Banks) and Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) larvae after a 24 h fasting period on adults of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) that were feeding on tomato plants (at vegetative and blooming stage) under glasshouse conditions.We also recorded fruit damage by the th

Abstract Strong light-matter interactions in localized nano-emitters placed near metallic mirrors have been widely reported via spectroscopic studies in the optical far-field.Here, we report a near-field nano-spectroscopic study of localized nanoscale emitters on a flat Au substrate.Using quasi 2-dimensional CdSe/CdxZn1-xS nanoplatelets, Body Pillo

Macrophage cholesterol efflux is a central step in baby romper reverse cholesterol transport, which helps to maintain cholesterol homeostasis and to reduce atherosclerosis.Lipophagy has recently been identified as a new step in cholesterol ester hydrolysis that regulates cholesterol efflux, since it mobilizes cholesterol from lipid droplets of macr

Atmospheric ozone (O3) in the surface level plays a central role in determining air quality and atmospheric oxidizing capacity.In this paper, we review our comprehensive results of simultaneous measurements of surface ozone (O3) and its precursor gas (NOx) and weather parameters that were carried out continuously for a span of six years (January 20

Backgrounds: Among the problematic online behaviours, online grooming, that is, a manipulative process leading to sexual solicitation between an adult and a minor, is receiving increasing attention.However, most of the studies come from qualitative data, confirming that a formalized measurement tool is still missing.Moreover, online grooming measur
