LIFE HISTORY STRATEGY DICTATES THERMAL PREFERENCES ACROSS THE DIEL CYCLE AND IN RESPONSE TO STARVATION IN VARIABLE FIELD CRICKETS, GRYLLUS LINEATICEPS

Insects behaviorally thermoregulate across the diel cycle, and their preferred microhabitats change based on current resources available and the thermal performance Pre-Rolled optima of traits.Specific combinations of traits being prioritized are set by life history strategies, making life history an important intrinsic determinant of thermal prefe

This paper presents Sensors a comparative evaluation of isolated dc-dc converter topologies used in Solid State Transformers (SST) meant for low/medium voltage standalone applications.The SST architecture is constructed with Power Factor Corrected - Continuous Conduction Mode (PFC-CCM) ac-dc converter for front end rectification and a single phase

Abstract Background and purpose Studies demonstrate that free radicals are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications.The aim of this study was to determine the implication of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and some enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants as suitable biomarkers of diabetic complications risk factors.Methods A total o

The role of the gut microbiome in human health is becoming apparent.The major functional impact of the gut microbiome is transmitted through the microbial metabolites that are produced Intimate Spray in the gut and interact with host cells either in the local gut environment or are absorbed into circulation to impact distant cells/organs.Short-chai

We demonstrate efficient optical rectification in the organic crystal Artificial plant BNA (N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline), driven by a temporally compressed, commercially available industrial Yb-laser system operating at a 540 kHz repetition rate.Our terahertz (THz) source reaches 5.6 mW of THz average power driven by 4.7 W, 45 fs pulses, and t
