Protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticide impacts is important to the sustainability of Sleeves agriculture.Consequently, pesticide applicators must determine if there is a clear hazard to managed or wild populations of bees.Potential exposure of bees to pesticides can vary greatly depending on the type of pesticide, formulation, a
Communicating the consensus on climate change to college biology majors: The importance of preaching to the choir
Abstract College and university biology majors who are not climate change deniers may yet be unaware of the degree of scientific consensus on climate change and unprepared to communicate about climate science to others.This study reports on a population of climate change accepting biology majors at a large, private research Day Cream university in
UvATG6 Interacts with BAX Inhibitor 1 Proteins and Plays Critical Roles in Growth, Conidiation, and Virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens
ABSTRACT Autophagy and apoptosis are evolutionarily conserved catabolic processes involved in regulating development and cellular homeostasis.Bax inhibitor 1 (BI-1) and autophagy protein 6 (ATG6) perform essential functions in these roles, such as cellular differentiation and virulence in various filamentous fungi.However, the functions of Maschera
Nutritionally Valuable Components and Heat-Induced Contaminants in Extruded Snack Products Enriched with Defatted Press Cakes
This research studies the influence of the addition of defatted press cakes (from the production of hazelnut, camelina, pumpkin, and hemp seed oil) on nutritionally important components: fibre, resistant starch, polyphenols, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and acrylamide in directly and indirectly expanded snacks.The amounts of press cakes added to co
Robust factor analysis in the presence of normality violations, missing data, and outliers: Empirical questions and possible solutions
Although a mainstay of psychometric methods, several reviews CD suggest factor analysis is often applied without testing whether data support it, and that decision-making process or guiding principles providing evidential support for FA techniques are seldom reported.Researchers often defer such decision-making to the default settings on widely-use
