We study the stability of stationary solutions of the 2D inviscid incompressible porous medium equation (IPM). We show that solutions which are near certain stable stationary solutions must converge as t → ∞ to a stationary solution of the IPM equation. It turns out that linearizing the IPM equation about certain stable stationary solutions gives a non-local partial damping mechanism. On the to...

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has had a varied history, with different definitions. It has been implemented under an array of different connotations (Lewis et al., 1997). The term was earlier used as ‘‘integrated control’’ by Bartlett (Bartlett, 1956) and was further elaborated on by Stern and co-workers (Stern et al., 1959). In reference to the concept of integrating the use of bio‐ logical...

Today most countries are implementing or planning to implement some type of e-health solution. This in turn leads to an exponential increase to the amount of data created, captured and stored. In order to maximise such a valuable data asset as well as create reliable and trustworthy e-health solutions, it is paramount to have a systematic strategy and robust organising framework which will in t...

A novel three-dimensional two-fold interpenetrated bi-porous metal-organic framework IPM-325 (IPM: IISER Pune Materials) having pcu topology was synthesized at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) study revealed that the compound crystallizes in monoclinic lattice with molecular formula {[Zn(L)2 (SiF6)] (CH2Cl2) xG}n where G = Guests). All metal centers were found to have...

Compost, poultry litter, IPM Lab Biopesticide and BAU-Biofungicide, either alone or in combinations, were assessed for their effect in controlling early blight disease, and on growth and yield parameters of tomato. The lowest early blight incidence and severity were recorded in T13 (compost tea + poultry litter extract + BAU-Bio-fungicide) followed by T12 (compost tea + poultry litter extract +...

A well maintained turfgrass area provides many aesthetic and functional benefits. Decades of scientific research has been conducted to help managers maximize plant health and minimize environmental impact. Still, significant concern for environmental quality and human health has raised public awareness and led to increased scrutiny of management practices, especially pest management. For many y...

The data in this article shows the effect of isopropyl myristate (IPM) on a 2D Stratum Corneum lipid model. In the first part, the analytical characterization of the synthesized deuterated isopropyl myristate is given. Then a BAM image of the pure Stratum Corneum model used is shown and a dataset of surface-pressure - area isotherms considering various ratios of deuterated and non-deuterated IP...

Concentrations of organophosphate pesticides, including chlorpyrifos and methyl parathion, were measured in ambient air breathed by farmers in Tambon Bang Rieng, Thailand. An exposure assessment and comparison was made between the levels of pesticide exposure of traditional and integrated pest management (IPM) farmers. Thirty-three air samples were collected during pesticide spraying. Tradition...

Terminal saccharide sequences in rat photoreceptor cell surface glycoconjugates were characterized. Lectin cytochemistry and electron microscopy were used for preembedding cytochemical localization of surface carbohydrates. Neuraminidase digestion was employed for the exposure of penultimate saccharides in sialoglycoconjugates. Isolated rat retinas were incubated with ferritin-labeled wheat ger...

The authors tested the hypothesis that after motive arousal, individuals with an inhibited power motive (IPM) would excel at a persuasive task and explored the behavioral strategies IPM individuals use to that purpose. Sixty-eight participants presented their point of view on a controversial subject to another person. Power motivation and inhibition were both assessed by a picture-story test. P...
