abstract this study was conducted with the aim to evaluate efficacy of applying 4 different formulations of beauveria bassiana (bb) fungus spore to combat hyalomma ticks. formulations used included: 1) distilled water with 2% tween and bb; 2) distilled water with 10% cottonseed oil, 0.01% sucrose, 0.2% tween and bb; 3) distilled water with 10% liquid paraffin, 0.01% sucrose, 0.2% tween and bb, ...

Whales are unique among vertebrates because of the enormous oil reserves held in their soft tissue and bone. These 'biofuel' stores have been used by humans from prehistoric times to more recent industrial-scale whaling. Deep-sea biologists have now discovered that the oily bones of dead whales on the seabed are also used by specialist and generalist scavenging communities, including many uniqu...

Investigations are carried out to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine consisting of different versions such as ceramic coated cylinder head engine-LHR-1; Air gap insulated piston and air gap insulated linerLHR-2; and Ceramic coated cylinder head, air gap insulated piston and air gap insulated liner –LHR-3 with normal temperature condition of linseed oil with var...

The compression ignition (CI) engines are most efficient and robust but they rely on depleting fossil fuel. Hence there is a speedy need to use alternative fuels that replaces diesel and at the same time engine should yield better performance. Accordingly, honge oil methyl ester (BHO) and cotton seed oil methyl ester (BCO) were selected as an alternative fuel to power CI engine in the study. In...

In this study, the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by chilled goat spermatozoa was measured. Furthermore, the effects of dead spermatozoa on motility characteristics were studied. Fresh collected ejaculates from five Shami bucks were centrifuged and virtually all seminal plasma was removed. A part of the collected spermatozoa was killed by two ways: the first by repe...

Oil palm plantations are essential for Indonesia as a source of foreign exchange and provider employment opportunities. However, large-scale land clearing is considered cause deforestation, which harms the environment society. So, it necessary to manage that sustainable still maintain preservation forests biodiversity. One solution apply remote sensing technology. The research was conducted dev...

This report summarizes our recent experimental findings [Xie et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 2022] and pore-scale simulation results Fluids., 2020] on viscoelastic oscillation, which is a new observation of instability in the multiphase flow state. The oscillation causes trapping droplets contraction-expansion micro-channels regardless injection rate. Based force balance analysis viscous, capillary ela...

in the present paper, the deformation zone of the ecae (equal channel angular extrusion) process was investigated using the upper bound theorem. for this purpose, the shape of the streamlines in the deformation zone was assumed to be cubic bezier curves. then, the force required for the ecae process was optimized with regard to the parameters defining the shape of streamlines by the upper bound...

abstract the objective of this study is evaluation of government’s optimum combination of policy instruments on per capita consumption of bread and the share of this product in food cost of families in different income classes. the minimization of changes in dead weight loss function is used in this study. by using boot strop method and on base of normal distribution for supply elasticity and d...

abstract the effect of different larval density of chilo suppressalis walker was evaluated through 2006-2008 on rice infestation in controlled condition of the cages. the results indicated that there were significant effects between dead hearts, white heads and crop yield. the highest dead hearts and white heads were related to the treatment of 32 larvae per m2 and the lowest ones were obtained...
