Context Recent studies have shown that the sensitivity of wild house mice to zinc phosphide (ZnP) in Australia is significantly lower than previously assumed, which may account for reported variability efficacy ZnP baits used broadacre control grain-growing regions. Under laboratory conditions ZnP-coated grains with a new higher dose (50 g ZnP/kg grain) were readily consumed but using this unde...

Semiconductor nanowire arrays offer significant potential for biosensing applications with optical read-out due to their high surface area and due to the unique optical properties of one-dimensional materials. A challenge for optical read-out of analyte-binding to the nanowires is the need to efficiently collect and detect light from a three-dimensional volume. Here we show that light from fluo...

ABSTRACT Background: Aluminum phosphide as a fumigant is extensively used for wheat preservation from rodents and bugs especially in silos worldwide. There is increasing number of acute intoxication with this potentially lethal compound because of its easy availability. We have tried to locate predictors of poor prognosis in patients with aluminum phosphide intoxication in order to find patien...

2014 An extension of the « D.L.P. » theory of Stringfellow taking clustering into account has been applied both to pseudobinary, pseudoternary and pseudoquaternary III V alloys. For alloys with two sites sublattices, this clustering tendency is introduced in each sublattice of the zinc blende through a positive short-range order parameter 03B1i-j depending on temperature and composition. It is ...
