Egg parasitoids are important natural enemies of several insect pests.The ability to kill the pest before it can inflict damage to the plant makes egg parasitoids ideal candidates for biological control.Several studies have shown that egg parasitoids exploit oviposition-induced plant volatiles (OIPVs) to locate host eggs laid on plant organs.Yet su
Despite treatment with agents that enhance beta-cell function and insulin action, reduction in beta-cell mass is relentless in patients with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Insulin resistance is characterized by impaired signaling through the insulin/insulin receptor/insulin receptor substrate/PI-3K/Akt pathway, leading to elevation
During the armed conflict in Colombia, homemade improvised antipersonnel landmines were used to neutralize the adversary.Many active artifacts remain buried, causing damage to biodiversity by exploding.The extensive literature describes the effects and injuries caused to humans by conventional landmines.However, there is considerably less informati
Abstract Large quantities of vegetable biowaste are generated at marketplaces, usually in highly populated locations.On the other hand, nearby markets, hotels, and street shops generate much cooking oil waste and dispose of them in the sewage.Environmental remediation is mandatory at these places.Hence, this experimental work concentrated on prepar
