Three cryptic species in the Euwallacea fornicatus species complex were reared in laboratory colonies and investigated for the presence of pheromones. Collections of volatiles from combinations of diet, fungus, beetles, and galleries from polyphagous shot hole borer (Euwallacea sp. #1) revealed the presence of 2-heneicosanone and 2-tricosanone only in the presence of beetles, regardless of sex....

We have used the Hubble Space Telescope to measure the motion in the sky and compute the galactocentric orbit of the black hole X-ray binary GRO J1655-40. The system moves with a runaway space velocity of 112± 18 km s in a highly eccentric (e = 0.34± 0.05) orbit. The black hole was formed in the disk at a distance greater than 3 kpc from the Galactic centre and must have been shot to such eccen...

The aim of the research is to study the interdependence between the shot moment parameter and the result in shooting simulator training. The article considers the problem of the relationships between a shot moment parameter and a virtual result in training with the SCATT optoelectronic shooting simulator. Special technique is proposed and the experimental investigation with the parallel fixatio...

X-ray variability of the microquasar XTE J1550-564 is studied with time domain techniques for the data from the RXTE/PCA observation in September 8, 1998. The 2–60 keV averaged shot is obtained from superposing shots with one millisecond time bin through aligning their peaks. The spectral behavior during the averaged shot exhibits prominent differences from that observed in Cyg X1. The hardness...

Here, we report the genome of Fusarium euwallaceae strain HFEW-16-IV-019, an isolate obtained from Kuroshio shot hole borer (a Euwallacea sp.). These beetles were collected in Tijuana, Mexico, from elm trees showing typical symptoms of Fusarium dieback. The final assembly consists of 287 scaffolds spanning 48,274,071 bp and 13,777 genes.

Surface physical changes (disorder and/or damage) due to femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation are observed in a new regime of extremely low laser fluence (,1023 of the single shot damage fluence) and large number of laser shots (.1010). No bulk damage was detected. The surface disorder is reversible by thermal annealing at 580 ±C. We propose a new mechanism for femtosecond laser-induced surface...

in this study, eleven cultivars of apricot including two early ripening (noori pishras and pishras tabasi) varieties, four mid ripening cultivars namely (shahroudi, lasjrdy, ghazi gahani and bagheri) and five late ripening cultivars i.e. (shahroudi51, shahroudi48, shahroudi29, shahroudi21 and ketabi) that had a better yield and horticultural characteristics were screened to wilsonomyces carpoph...

Shot hole, caused by Stigmina carpophila (Lev.) M.B. Ellis, is a major fungal disease for apricots and it causes serious economic loss in Turkey. To protect from the various destructive effects of shot hole disease, excessive fungicide used, which may lead to severe damage ecosystem. One most beneficial alternative ways minimize or eradicate hazardous fungicides use resistant/moderately resista...
