THE ESSENTIAL OILS COMPOUNDS OF LIPPIA MULTIFLORA MOLDENKE AND CYMBOPOGON SCHOENANTHUS (L.) SPRENG REPEL AND AFFECT THE SURVIVAL OF THE MAIZE PEST SPODOPTERA FRUGIPERDA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) LARVAE

Plant-derived insecticides, such as essential oils, can be an effective alternative to replace synthetic chemical insecticides against Spodoptera frugiperda, which becomes increasingly resistant to synthetic products.This study aims to evaluate essential oils (EOs) effects on larval growth and development following feeding inhibition, growth regula

Experimental investigations of the diode-laser-induced ignition of potassium picrate (KP) with a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) additive are presented in this article.KP/MWNT Collection composites with varying contents were prepared directly by adding different quantities of MWNTs to a KP solution after the last synthesis step.Due to capillary

BackgroundThe stabilization or regulated reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for cellular structure and function.Recently, we could show that the activation of the SK3-channel that represents the predominant SK-channel in neural stem cells, leads to a rapid local outgrowth of long filopodial processes.This observation indicates Hi
