WIDESPREAD ESTABLISHMENT OF ADVENTIVE POPULATIONS OF LEPTOPILINA JAPONICA (HYMENOPTERA, FIGITIDAE) IN NORTH AMERICA AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIPLEX PCR ASSAY TO IDENTIFY KEY PARASITOIDS OF DROSOPHILA SUZUKII (DIPTERA, DROSOPHILIDAE)

Widespread establishment of adventive populations of Leptopilina japonica (Hymenoptera, Figitidae) in North America and development of a multiplex PCR assay to identify key parasitoids of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera, Drosophilidae)

In recent years, there has been an increase in the adventive establishment and spread of parasitoid wasps outside of their native range.However, lack of taxonomic tools can hinder the efficient screening of field-collected samples Outdoor Swivel Lounge Chair to document the establishment and range expansion of parasitoids on continent-wide geograph

The hidden hedgehog of the pituitary: hedgehog signaling in development, adulthood and disease of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis

Hedgehog signaling plays pivotal roles in embryonic development, adult homeostasis and tumorigenesis.However, its engagement in the pituitary gland has Pins been long underestimated although Hedgehog signaling and pituitary embryogenic development are closely linked.Thus, deregulation of this signaling pathway during pituitary development results i

Identification Method of Source Term Parameters of Nuclear Explosion Based on GA and PSO for Lagrange-Gaussian Puff Model

Many well-established models exist for predicting the dispersion of radioactive particles that will be generated in the surrounding environment after a nuclear weapon explosion.However, without exception, almost all models rely on accurate source term parameters, such as DELFIC, DNAF-1, and so on.Unlike nuclear experiments, accurate source term par
