The local dispersal of polyphagous, mobile insects within agricultural systems impacts pest management. In the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, stink bugs, especially the invasive Halyomorpha halys (Stål 1855), contribute to economic losses across a range of cropping systems. Here, we characterized the density of stink bugs along the field edges of field corn and soybean at different s...

background : anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (acdf) is an effective treatment for disc herniations ; but some studies demonstrated that in the untreated levels adjacent to a fusion, increased motion might lead to an increased risk of adjacent segment degeneration (asd). on the other hand, methods of cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) have improved. the aim of this study is to evaluate and...

Orienting electron transport to suppress charge recombination is attractive for efficient photocatalysis but remains challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of crystalline linear conjugated polyimides via condensation carboxylic anhydrides and amine monomers photocatalytic reduction CO2. Oriented was achieved using integrated with electronic push-pull units. Directional intramolecular...

The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...

During the last decades, the railway traffic in densely populated areas has increased. At the same time, passenger trains have become faster and freight trains have become heavier. Consequently, trains are an increasing source of ground vibration, which may be a nuisance to people, buildings and sensitive equipment. In this research, a two-dimensional dynamic system, including underground train...
