AEDES ALBOPICTUS AND AEDES FLAVOPICTUS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) PRE-IMAGINAL ABUNDANCE PATTERNS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ALONG AN ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT

Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) is a major global invasive mosquito species that, in Japan, co-occurs with Aedes (Stegomyia) flavopictus Yamada, a closely related species recently intercepted in CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BAR Europe.Here, we present results of a detailed 25-month long study where we biweekly sampled pupae and fourth instar larvae of th

In surface temperature measurement by thermocouple, measurement error was quantitatively investigated when the temperature measuring junction was adhered to the surface and a part of the Vitamin D lead wire was placed on the isothermal surface.First, heat paths of a thermocouple were modeled by thermal-resistance-network.Unknown parameters related

The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that in vivo entosis is a novel pathway for eliminating spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules (ST) during hibernation of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle.Western CHOCOLATE BROWNIE BAR blot analysis revealed that the expression of LAMP1 in the testis was significantly higher during hibern

Fermented foods share an integral part of age-old wisdom from ancient Indian civilization.Over the generations, this pioneering practice of food fermentation has expanded and Herbal Medicine improved to preserve and fortify the available food resources, particularly to meet the hidden hunger.India, being the second largest producer of rice, has a g
