A NOVEL METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF LETHAL RADIUS FOR HIGH-EXPLOSIVE ARTILLERY PROJECTILES


Differences in the reliance on cuticular hydrocarbons as sexual signaling and species discrimination cues in parasitoid wasps

Abstract Background Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) have been documented to play crucial roles as species- and sex-specific cues in the chemical communication systems of a wide variety of insects.However, whether they are sufficient by themselves as the sole cue triggering sexual behavior as well as preference of con- over heterospecific mating partne

Experiment of water vapor adsorption/desorption rate in a desiccant rotor regenerated directly by concentrated artificial solar light irradiation

A solid desiccant air-conditioning system has received widespread attention, since it holds obvious predominance such as using low grade solar energy for a regeneration process of desiccant materials.For heating and regenerating a desiccant rotor in the system, indirect methods such as air heating or water heating with solar collectors have been fo
