Abstract Background Insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis bind to receptors on midgut epithelial cells of susceptible insect larvae.Aminopeptidases N (APNs) from several insect species have been shown to be putative receptors for these toxins.Here we report the cloning and expression analysis of four APN cDNAs from Spodoptera exigua.Resul
We consider the structure of excited states and low-energy interaction of hadronic dark matter with photons, leptons, and socialstudiesscholar.com nucleons.Description of the lowest excited levels is fulfilled in an analogy with the standard heavy-light mesons.Using the effective vertex of new heavy hadrons interaction with W-boson, we calculate cr
Neonicotinoid insecticides have come under scrutiny for their potential role in honey bee declines.Additionally, reduced access to forage in agricultural areas creates the potential for risk interactions with these pesticides in regions critical for honey production.In this study, we sought to determine whether sufficient access to pollen during la
BACKGROUND: Medication safety is of paramount importance in nursing practice to ensure the accurate administration of medications.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a parallel-group randomized controlled trial involving a control group (n = 119) and an intervention group (n = 119) of nursing students at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital
IEEE802.15.4g is a low-power wireless standard initially designed for Smart Utility Networks, i.e., for connecting smart meters.IEEE802.15.4g operates at sub-GHz frequencies to offer 2–3× longer communication range compared to its 2.4 GHz counterpart.Although the standard offers 3 PHYs aptamil allerpro (Frequncy Shift Keying, Orthogonal
