Alien insect species may present a multifaceted threat to ecosystems into which they are introduced.In addition to the direct damage they may cause, they may also bring novel diseases and parasites and/or have the capacity to vector microorganisms that are already established in the ecosystem and are causing harm.Damage caused by ectoparasitic larv
THEORIES OF REVOLUTION: THE GENERATIONAL DEADLOCK
The paper attempts to highlight the main characteristics and the main flaws of the most important classification of theories of revolution, the generational approach.The first half aims to discuss and present the main tenets of the qf1510 most important taxonomy of theories of revolution, as well as the similar attempts made by several scholars to
Diversification of LytM Protein Functions in Polar Elongation and Cell Division of Agrobacterium tumefaciens
LytM-domain containing proteins are LAS peptidases (lysostaphin-type enzymes, D-Ala-D-Ala metallopeptidases, and sonic hedgehog) and are known to play diverse roles throughout the bacterial cell cycle through direct or indirect hydrolysis of the bacterial cell wall.A subset of the LytM factors are catalytically inactive but regulate the activity of
Analyzing Impact of Processing Parameters and Material Properties on Symmetry of Wire-Arc Directed Energy Deposit Beads
Wire arc-directed energy deposit (wire-arc DED) enables the efficient manufacturing of large-scale metal parts.Many factors can impact overall part quality during manufacturing, including processing parameters such as feed rate, travel speed, and various material properties.Previous works have sought to use machine learning to evaluate and predict
Initial clinical experience of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for liver metastases, primary liver malignancy, and pancreatic cancer with 4D-MRI based online adaptation and real-time MRI monitoring using a 1.5 Tesla MR-Linac.
Purpose/objectivesRecently a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac has been FDA approved and is commercially available.Clinical series describing treatment methods and outcomes for upper abdominal tumors using a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac are lacking.We present the first clinical series of atmas wail upper abdominal tumors treated using a 1.5 Tesla MR Linac along with the ac
