Abstract Background We report on the probable horizontal transfer of a mitochondrial gene, cytb, between species of Neotropical bruchid beetles, in a zone where these species are sympatric.The bruchid beetles Acanthoscelides obtectus, A.obvelatus, A.argillaceus and Zabrotes subfasciatus develop on various bean species in Mexico.Whereas A.obtectus a
Active flow control is experimentally investigated on a car-type bluff body.The actuation is based on a synthetic jet actuator placed at the top of the Ahmed body rear window.In the present paper, a synthetic jet characterization is presented, the frequencies and the optimal amplitudes with regard to the 70 qt storage bin spatial evolution are anal
Conservation is an effort to return natural resources to their habitat to restore the ecosystem balance, which can be done in-situ and ex-situ.Coelogyne rochussenii orchid conservation efforts are essential to maintain its sustainability.The purpose of this study was to characterize C.rochussenii orchids from lost vape quest q ultra Bukit Rimbang a
Currently, some catastrophe models used by the insurance industry account for liquefaction by applying a simple factor to shaking-induced losses.The factor is based only on local liquefaction susceptibility and this highlights the need for a more sophisticated approach to incorporating the effects of liquefaction in loss models.This study compares
