The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest.The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive cubs foam finger insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.The phase-out of old insecticides threatens cherry production throughout the European Union (EU).Consequently, new management
The temporal phytoplankton biomass variation at two Neotropical reservoirs during an extreme drought season were analyzed.Here we sought to evaluate the main abiotic factors involved in dynamics of phytoplankton during this drought period.The main difference between the reservoirs was the intensive fish and shrimp farming in one of the reservoirs.F
The generation of DNA constructs is often a rate-limiting step in conducting biological experiments.Recombination cloning of single DNA fragments using the Gateway system provided an advance over traditional restriction enzyme cloning due to increases in efficiency and reliability.Here we introduce a series of entry clones and a destination vector
Objective In 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sent a letter to state Medicaid directors outlining requirements for implementing peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS) as a Medicaid-funded service.Since then, 30 states have implemented these services.Although the literature describing implementation of P-BRSS has ide
Parameters extraction of photovoltaic (PV) models is urgently desired for the simulation, control, and evaluation of PV systems.To accurately and reliably extract the parameters of different PV 2006 scion xa catalytic converter models, a triple-phase teaching-learning-based optimization (TPTLBO) is proposed in this paper.The novelty of TPTLBO lies
