the entomopathogenic fungus metarhizium anisopliae (metschnikoff) sorokin, causal agent of green muscardine of insects, is an important fungus in biological control of pests. no reports exist on the impact of this fungus on microcerotermes diversus silvestri (iso.: termitidae) in the world. the present research evaluated efficacy of strain demi001, from saravan, iran, against m. diversus. the t...

in this research, the effect of wood species and particle size on mechanicalproperties of wood plastic composites (wpc) made of fir (abies alba) and beech(fagus orientalis l.) sawdust and high density polyethylene (hdpe) wereinvestigated. wood plastic composite (wpc) were made with 30% hdpe in abatch process at 185˚c, at two particle sizes of 40 mesh and 80 mesh. maleicanhydride polypropylene (...

Herein, non-carbonized wood-based electrodes and separators with well-aligned channels excellent mechanical properties are developed for supercapacitors. To enhance the conductivity boost capacitance, Ti3C2 (MXene) nanosheets high electrical electrochemical activity loaded into wood cells via self-assembly triggered by fast evaporating water in suspension. By assistance of positive charged poly...

OBJECTIVE To investigate how consumption of ultra-processed foods has changed in Sweden in relation to obesity. DESIGN Nationwide ecological analysis of changes in processed foods along with corresponding changes in obesity. Trends in per capita food consumption during 1960-2010 were investigated using data from the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Food items were classified as group 1 (unproces...
