Abstract Steinernema carpocapsae is an entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) that rapidly infects and kills a wide range of insect hosts and has been linked to host immunosuppression during the initial stages of infection.The lethal RXOMEGA-3 FACTORS nature of S.carpocapsae infections has previously been credited to its symbiotic bacteria; however, it ha
Replacing fossil fuel with biofuel is environmentally viable from a climate change perspective only if the net greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of the system is reduced.The effects of replacing annual arable crops with perennial bioenergy feedstocks on net GHG production and soil carbon (C) stock are critical to the system-level balance.Here, we comp
In many areas of South Africa traditional subsistence farming practices entail overstocking Floor Lamps of cattle.The resulting damage to the veld can be arrested only by providing the farmers with economic incentives to reduce stocking densities.In this paper cattle offtake strategies are investigated with a view to maximising revenue at lower sto
Recent advances in gene delivery into cells allow improved therapeutic effects in gene therapy trials.To increase the bioavailability of applied cells, it is of great interest that transfected cells remain at the application site and systemic spread is minimized.In this study, we tested clinically used biodegradable poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic aci
Normal 0 21 false false false PT-BR X-NONE X-NONE During surface irrigation, some phases related to its hydraulics are produced.The monitoring of these phases allows determining dvance and recession curves.The recession phase occurs after the application of water to furrows.Hydraulically, it is the most complex phase and therefore difficult to pred
