As a metal-free photocatalyst with high catalytic performance, carbon nitride is non-toxic, harmless, and stable in the natural environment.Owing to its facile synthesis, stable physical and chemical properties, tunable structure, and suitable band gap, graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) plays an increasing role in the field of photocatalysis.It
Molecular phylogeny of Trissolcus wasps (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) associated with Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)
As the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) has spread across the Northern Hemisphere, research on its egg parasitoids has increased accordingly.These studies have included species-level taxonomy, experimental assessments of host ranges in quarantine, and Lip Treatment surveys to assess parasitism in the field.We here present a molecular
Thermoplastic Starch Composites Reinforced with Functionalized POSS: Fabrication, Characterization, and Evolution of Mechanical, Thermal and Biological Activities
Rapid advancements in materials that offer the appropriate mechanical strength, barrier, and antimicrobial activity for food packaging are still confronted with significant challenges.In this study, a modest, environmentally friendly method was used to synthesize functionalized octakis(3-chloropropyl)octasilsesquioxane [fn-POSS] nanofiller.Composit
Comprehensive Mapping of Pluripotent Stem Cell Metabolism Using Dynamic Genome-Scale Network Modeling
Summary: Metabolism is an emerging stem cell hallmark tied to cell fate, pluripotency, and self-renewal, yet systems-level understanding of stem cell metabolism has been limited by the lack of genome-scale network models.Here, we develop a systems approach to integrate time-course metabolomics data with a computational model of metabolism to analyz
Indigenous Knowledge and the Convention on Biological Diversity
Abstract Australia is rich in biological diversity and Indigenous Australians hold DOUBLE HITTER substantial knowledge about how to care for and utilise a diverse range of plants and other biological elements which occur here.Australia has a specific set of legal and policy obligations arising from its ratification of the Convention on Biological D
