This thesis is based on three inter-related studies: the first part deals with the microbial consortium, the identification of microbes and their volatiles, the second part deals with the study of bio-chemical control methods of two conifer pests; the pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.) and the root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp., and the third part describes the production of styrene by a fungus ...

There is little question as to whether there good boring art, though its existence raises a number of questions for both the philosophy art and emotions. How can boredom ever be desideratum art? our standing commitments concerning nature aesthetic experience artistic value accommodate being bored constitute an appropriate mode engagement with work More broadly, how works whose very success requ...

Meira diottii, nov.sp. from the Ligurian Alps is described. Relevant anatomical characters are detailed and illustrated with drawings and photography. Characteristic sensilla on the penis are identified and illustrated with scanning electron microscopy. Relationships with other Meira species are proposed.

The earliest bioeroded inorganic hard substrates in the Ordovician of Estonia appear in the Dapingian. Hardgrounds are also known from the Sandbian and Katian. Most of the bioerosion of inorganic hard substrates occurs as the boring Trypanites Mägdefrau, 1932 along with some possible Gastrochaenolites borings. North American hardground borings are more diverse than those in Baltica. In contrast...

The paper presents ways to reduce the vibrations of special cantilever boring bars mounted on spindle heads finishing and machines. Special are designed for machining holes in non-standard conditions, example, when deep with l/d>3 (l–hole length, d-hole diameter) or a discontinuous surface. results experiments theoretical developments, as well schemes experimental stands, presented. investig...

Natural grain's fogging is a Indonesian traditional method which applied since many years ago. Recently, no specific research was approving this method, especially for maize. Maize weevil, Sitophilus maize L common destructive insect pest considered losses on stored grains. The aim of to determined effect grains biological S.maize L. This conducted using complete randomized design with three le...
