Phytoremediation is optimized when plants grow vigorously while accumulating the contaminant of interest.Here we show that sulphur supply alleviates aerial chlorosis and growth retardation caused by cesium stress without reducing cesium accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana.This alleviation was not due to recovery 9002nc of cesium-induced potassium

In South America, the Protist parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal human disease, is transmitted by blood-feeding female Lutzomyia longipalpis sand flies.A synthetic copy of the male produced sex-aggregation pheromone offers new opportunities for vector control applications.We have previously shown that the pheromone pla

Neonicotinoids are one of here the most widely used classes of insecticides in the world.The neonicotinoid imidacloprid is commonly applied to hemlock (Tsuga spp.) stands in eastern North America to reduce tree mortality from infestations of the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA; Adelges tsugae).While laboratory and mesocosm studies have determi

A 201.5 MHz, 50 mA, 2.0 MeV deuteron radio frequency quadrupole accelerator is proposed as the neutron generator for the neutron experiment facility dea eyewear project at Peking University, China.Based on better understanding of beam losses, some new optimization procedures concerning both longitudinal and transverse dynamics are adopted.According

Abstract Background Better quality of welding sweater care around the time of childbirth can significantly improve maternal and newborn survival.In countries like India, where the private sector contributes to a considerable proportion of institutional deliveries, it is important to assess the quality of maternity care offered by private sector hea
