Biological role of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) in habitat manipulation and sustenance of natural enemy populations in upland rice

The re-designing of agricultural systems in integrated pest management (IPM) has been aimed at reducing the use of synthetic pesticides to manage pests.In conservation biological control, the cropping habitat is manipulated to provide vital resources that are required by natural enemies to suppress pest populations.Habitat manipulation is an exampl

Finite elements method (FEM) simulation based prediction of deformation and temperature at rolling of tubes on a pilgrim mill

3D - FEM simulation was used as an efficient tool for description of stress-deformation thermal field at rolling of tubes on a pilgrim mill.The monitored objectives comprised also behaviour of working tools at this rolling.This paper assumes rolling of already pierced thick-walled blank, which passes through the pilgrim stand Bouillon at simultaneo

Whole-Brain Network Connectivity Underlying the Human Speech Articulation as Emerged Integrating Direct Electric Stimulation, Resting State fMRI and Tractography

Production of fluent speech in humans is based on a precise and coordinated articulation of sounds.A speech articulation network (SAN) has been observed in multiple brain studies typically using either neuroimaging or direct electrical stimulation (DES), thus giving limited knowledge about the whole brain structural and functional organization of t
