Investigation of Enhanced Landfill Liners Using Kuttanad Clay

Landfill liners are layers of materials used to protect soil and groundwater from contaminants.A study aims to improve the performance and effectiveness of these liners by using bentonite and fly ash as amending materials.The research aims to contribute to the sustainable waste management practices by 4 in 1 Can Cooler offering cost-effective and e

A notodontid novelty: Theroa zethus caterpillars use behavior and anti-predator weaponry to disarm host plants.

Unlike most notodontids, Theroa zethus larvae feed on plants that emit copious latex when damaged.To determine how the larvae overcome this defense, we filmed final instars on poinsettia, Necklaces Euphorbia pulcherrima, then simulated their behaviors and tested how the behaviors individually and combined affect latex exudation.Larvae initially scr

LuxT controls specific quorum-sensing-regulated behaviors in Vibrionaceae spp. via repression of qrr1, encoding a small regulatory RNA.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of chemical communication bacteria use to transition between individual and collective behaviors.QS depends on the production, release, and synchronous response to signaling molecules Lighters called autoinducers (AIs).The marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi monitors AIs using a signal transduction pathway that relies o
