Habitat Associations of Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) and Introduced Populations of Pseudacteon spp. Phorid Flies

Habitat selection is one of many aspects of red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, (RIFA) that has been intensively studied since their initial introduction in the United States.Concurrently, innumerable studies have attempted to identify effective chemical insecticides for RIFA control.More recently, several species of Pseudacteon spp.p

Thermal stress tensor correlators, OPE and holography

Abstract In strongly coupled conformal field theories with a large central charge Spindle Drink Mixers important light degrees of freedom are the stress tensor and its composites, multi-stress tensors.We consider the OPE expansion of two-point functions of the stress tensor in thermal and heavy states and focus on the contributions from the stress

Algal deterioration of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottle in combination with physical and chemical pretreatments: A macrocosm study

Plastic pollution has become an environmental issue worldwide because of its slow degradation and persistent nature.Many traditional methods exist and are practiced here to handle and reuse plastic waste, but those need to be more capable of tackling increasing waste volume.Biological plastic waste management could be a sustainable way to ensure en
