The sensory quality of a food is related to the consumer’s ethno-social and idiosyncratic conditions.  In this study, honeys from three different environments in Chaco region Cordoba (Argentina) were described qualitatively quantitatively by specialized evaluators rural peasant. Honeys with wide diversity attributes evidenced. samples Salinas Coast characterized high fluidity, those Serrano For...

Ionizing irradiation is used in Florida and Hawaii to disinfest several fruits and sweetpotatoes of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) or other insects (Hallman 2004a). Importation of fruit irradiated against 11 fruit fly species and the mango seed weevil, Cryptorhynchus mangiferae (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), has been approved (APHIS 2002). The treatment shows promise for widespread imple...

Three new cembrane-type diterpenoids, flexibilins A-C (1-3), along with a known cembrane, (-)-sandensolide (4), were isolated from the soft coral, Sinularia flexibilis. The structures of cembranes 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The structure of 4, including its absolute stereochemistry, was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Cembrane 2 displayed a mod...

Chrome (Cr) is one of the harmful heavy metals whose existence could lead to a decline in water quality, as well harm environment and aquatic organisms. One industries that generate waste containing chrome batik industry. The resulting wastewater processing needs be done, which combine adsorbents trembesi seeds fitoremediasi plants Salvinia (Salvinia molesta). purpose this research know levels ...

Bacterial adhesion to surfaces is the first step in biofilm formation, which leads development of conditions that may compromise health status patients. Surface modification has been proposed reduce bacterial biomaterials. The objective this work was assess and compare Streptococcus mutans surface biomimetically-modified stainless steel using different topographies. Stainless plates were modifi...

Climate warming is expected to increase the exposure of insects to hot events (involving a few hours at extreme high temperatures). These events are unlikely to cause widespread mortality but may modify population dynamics via impacting life history traits such as adult fecundity and egg hatching. These effects and their potential impact on population predictions are still largely unknown. In t...

Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder and Sands (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a successful biological control agent of aquatic weeds suppressing species like giant salvinia, Salvinia molesta D.Mitch. (Salviniales: Salviniaceae), in at least 15 countries over 3 continents (Julien et al. 2002). There are at least 2 ecotypes of this insect; the smaller Florida ecotype found on common salvinia, S. minima B...

Lesser appleworm, Grapholita prunivora (Walsh), eggs were subjected to cold storage conditions at 2.0 degrees C +/- 0.2 degrees C for 0-90 d. The most tolerant embryonic stage was the blackhead stage (96-120-h-old eggs) with an LT90 of 25 d. The four instars of lesser appleworm were subjected to cold storage conditions at 2.0 degrees C +/- 0.2 degrees C for 0-280 d. The fourth instar was the mo...

Giant Salvinia (Salvinia molesta) is one of the world’s most invasive aquatic weeds. We evaluated the accuracy of airborne multispectral digital video imagery for separating giant salvinia from other aquatic and terrestrial features at a study site located in northeast, Texas. The five-band multispectral digital video imagery was subjected to an unsupervised computer analysis to derive a themat...
