Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites.As we are in the twenty-first century, modernization and industrialization are the two important outputs that have made human life more luxurious and comfortable.Simultaneously, they are responsible for several uses of exploitation of forests, natural resources, and wildlife, pollut
Rising mortality from injury in urban China: demographic burden, underlying causes and policy implications
In urban China, mortality from injuries has increased over the past five decades.By contrast, life expectancy has T-Shirt continued to increase and has come to nearly equal life expectancy in developed countries.Currently, most of the life expectancy lost due to injury (65%) in urban China would be recovered if injury rates were the same as in coun
Olfactory responses of Trissolcus mitsukurii to plants attacked by target and non-target stink bugs suggest low risk for biological control
Abstract In crop systems, successful management of invasive insect herbivores can be achieved through the introduction of exotic biocontrol agents, parasitoids or predators, having a coevolutionary history with the pest.To avert threats to local biodiversity, recent legislations require a risk assessment for the organism to be released.Evaluation o
Residual Dipolar Couplings in Structure Determination of Natural Products
Abstract The determination of natural products stereochemistry remains a formidable task.Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) induced by anisotropic media are a powerful tool for determination of the stereochemistry of organic molecule in solution.This review will provide a short introduction on RDCs-based methodology for the structural elucidation of
Flow-induced orientational change of aqueous solution of polymer after an abrupt expansion in planar channel flows
Flow-induced orientational changes of an aqueous polymer solution in planer channels have been studied utilizing optical rheometric technics.Two kinds of 1:4 abrupt expansion channels with the same width Li-ion / Li-Po Chargers and different heights of 1 mm and 0.2 mm were tested in the experiments.0.5 wt% xanthan gum solution was examined as the t
