Five local spices (Piper guineense, Allium sativum, Afromomum melequata, Xylopia aethiopica and Tetrapleura tetraptera) were evaluated in the laboratory for their ability to protect stored maize against infestation by S. zeamais. Ground products of the spices were applied as direct admixtures at two concentration levels of 1% and 5% to assess for mortality, progeny emergence, damage and repelle...

Embodied cognition is sometimes presented as an alternative to computational approaches, the argument being that cognition is strongly influenced by an agent's body movement. However, the exact nature of this influence is still uncertain. In the current paper, we add to the conversation by analyzing adults’ predictions in a high-ambiguity task: Adults had to decide which of two objects would si...

The introduction of termiticidal baits over 10 years ago has increased interest in the basic foraging behavior of pest termite species. Due to the amount of interference with foraged cellulose material (bait matrices, both treated and untreated) in bait stations as part of some control programs, the following study was initiated to examine the response of termites to very short term (1 wk) part...

is considered to be an important conductor for applications. Optimizing flux pinning in these conductors can improve their critical currents. Doping can influence flux pinning efficiency and grain connectivity, and also affect the resistivity, upper critical field and critical temperature. This study was designed to attempt the doping of on the Mg sites with metal-diborides using high-energy ba...
