Prey preferences and feeding-related behaviour of a Central European species of Scydmaeninae, Scydmaenus rufus, were studied under laboratory conditions.Results of prey choice experiments involving 22 identified species of mites belonging to 13 families of Oribatida and two families of Mesostigmata (Uropodina) demonstrated that this beetle feeds mo
This paper investigates the dynamic response of the compliant tilting pad journal bearings subjected to synchronous excitation.Bearing L-GLUTATHIONE compliance is affected by the properties of pad liner and pad support geometry.Different unbalance eccentricities are considered.It is shown that bearing dynamic response is non-linear.Journal orbit co
Abstract Background In Afar, a pastoralist and remote area of Ethiopia, one in five children suffers from acute malnutrition.Investigation of the prevalence and associated factors of exclusive breastfeeding may provide insight into the current burden and nature of the problem, and offer help on how to direct prevention strategies.The aim of this st
Bacterial predation impacts microbial community structures, which can have both positive and negative effects on plant and animal health and on environmental sustainability.Myxococcus xanthus is an epibiotic soil predator with a broad range of prey, including Sinorhizobium meliloti, which establishes nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with legumes.During th
The paper aims to create a unit using Fresnel lenses.This module consist of an arrangement of planar-convex Fresnel lenses, made of methyl polymethacrylate, mounted in a hexagonal raster and bent to form a dome for collecting and amplifying solar radiation at several focal points and with the possibility Bike Parts - Miscellaneous - Nuts of adjusti
