Fourteen species of armored scale insects are known only from New Caledonia.Here, the adult female of fourteen more are described: Agrophaspis ansevatae sp.n., Aonidia read more montikoghis sp.n., Aonidia pauca sp.n., Fernaldanna whita sp.n., Furcaspis costulariae sp.n., Greeniella casuarinae sp.n., Greeniella dacrydiae sp.n., Lepidosaphes monticol
Increasing attention is being paid to the welfare of decapod crustaceans.Legislation exists for their humane slaughter in several countries and this is being debated in others.Electrical stunning may have potential for humane slaughter of crustaceans in some circumstances, although scientific data on the effectiveness of electrical stunning when ap
In order to improve the keyway broaching process and verify the feasibility of vibration-assisted broaching process, an experimental study apac1/60/1/cw on a novel hydraulic vibration assisted broaching (HVAB) system with double-valve electro-hydraulic exciter (DVEHE) is proposed in this paper.The performances of HVAB at different excitation freque
This study examines the improvements in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance achieved when silver nanodendritic structures are coated with various graphene-based materials, namely graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs).The tests are performed on our unique SERS-active substrates, prepare
Cancer is a group of diseases causing abnormal cell growth, altering the genome, and invading or spreading to other parts of the body.Among therapeutic peptide drugs, anticancer peptides (ACPs) have been considered to target and kill cancer cells because cancer cells have unique characteristics such as a high negative charge and abundance sequal ec
