Experimental infection systems are important for studying antagonistic interactions and coevolution between hosts and their pathogens.The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum and the spore-forming bacterial insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are widely used and tractable model organisms.However, they have not been employed yet as an effici
Tensile strength of frozen soil is an important index for frozen soil engineering design.It is found that uniaxial tensile strength, three-point bending and four-point bending tensile strength values of frozen soil are inconsistent in the test.For this reason, the meso-level numerical method is adopted, assuming that the meso-level hellfire sloe gi
BackgroundPrevious studies have shown the benefits of ready-to-use supplementary food (RUSF) distribution in reducing the incidence and prevalence of severe acute malnutrition.Methods and findingsTo compare the incidence of wasting, stunting and mortality between children aged 6 to 23 mo participating and not participating in distributions of RUSF,
The forthright purpose of this communication is to inspect the flow of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stratified micropolar bioconvective fluid containing nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganism.The phenomenon of thermal radiation and Joule heating has also been incorporated.In order to stabilize the suspended nanoparticles, bioconvection which is es
