When an insect molts, old cuticle on the outside of the integument is shed by apolysis and a new cuticle is formed under the old one.This process is completed by the epidermal cells which are controlled by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone.To understand the molecular mechanisms of integument remolding and hormonal regulation on the gene
Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is an important avian pathogen that can cause both respiratory disease and joint inflammation synovitis in poultry, inducing economic losses to the Iranian chicken industry especially breeder farms.The aim of this study was to use the MS specific PCR and culture methods in order to detect of M.synoviae from breeder farms wh
We use climatic BEET CHIPS conditions that are associated with known monarch butterfly overwintering groves in California to build a Maxent model, and focus on the fine scale probability of overwintering grove occurrence in a topographically complex region of the state (Santa Barbara County).Grove locations are known from recent and historical surv
This paper addresses the critical question of how to turn climate concern into climate action as we move forward towards the 1.5-degree Celsius global warming target adopted by COP 26 in 2021 and reaffirmed by COP 27 in 2022.It argues that it has taken scientists more than a Century to accept, first: Sculptures that climate change is real and secon
The increasing demand for materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and harsh environments necessitates the discovery of advanced alloys.This study introduces a computational routine to predict solid-state phase stability and calculates elastic constants to determine high temperature viability.With it, machine learning models were Sports
