MORPHOLOGICAL SEPARATION OF TOMICUS PINIPERDA AND T. DESTRUENS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE: SCOLYTINAE): NEW AND OLD CHARACTERS

Morphological separation of Tomicus piniperda and T. destruens (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae): new and old characters

Tomicus piniperda and T.destruens are sibling species which are extremely difficult to separate by morphological characters.Although several papers report differences between the two species, many characters need confirmation or better description.Moreover, new morphological characters are required for correct species determination.For these purpos

Theoretical Study on Magnetic Interaction in Pyrazole-Bridged Dinuclear Metal Complex: Possibility of Intramolecular Ferromagnetic Interaction by Orbital Counter-Complementarity

A possibility of the intramolecular ferromagnetic (FM) interaction Ladders in pyrazole-bridged dinuclear Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes is examined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.When azide is used for additional bridging ligand, the complexes indicate the strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) interaction, while the AFM inte

Recent Hints on the Dual Role of Discs Large MAGUK Scaffold Protein 5 in Cancers and in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 5 (DLG5) is a multi-domain member of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family, which plays a major role in the maintenance of cell epithelial polarity Ostomy Supplies being part of the SCRIB-LGL-DLG complex.Although polarity proteins have been generally considered tumor suppressors, recent discoveries l

Effect of stacking sequence and geometric scaling on the brittleness number of glass fiber composite laminate with stress raiser

The fracture behavior of quasi-brittle material exhibits commonly brittle behavior with some ductility in the fracture processing zone.Therefore, a matrix of experimental works is performed to investigate the failure behaviors based on a parameter known as brittleness number, which is a measure of brittle behaviors.Glass fiber-reinforced epoxy lami
