Over the past decade, the high-dose refuge (HDR) strategy, aimed at delaying the evolution of pest resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins produced by transgenic crops, became mandatory in the United States and is being discussed for Europe.However, precopulatory dispersal and the mating rate between resident and immigrant individuals, two
Fuel lubricity prevents wear between metallic parts in relative motion inside the injection system of combustion engines.Among diesel fuels, paraffinic (gas-to-liquid or hydrotreated oils) and biodiesel (methyl esters) fuels are emerging since some of them are renewable and, in the case of paraffinic fuels, present excellent properties that can be
In Latin America, intercultural education aims to acknowledge the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of its citizens, and to advance the efforts to dismantle the oppression of such diversity, particularly that of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples.While discussions of intercultural education often reference such peoples as their target
Two methods for cross-selectivity enhancement of porous poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/carbon black (CB) composite-based resistive sensors are provided.The sensors are tested with acetone and ethanol in the presence of humid air.Cross-selectivity is enhanced using two different methods to modify the basic response of the P
