Neonicotinoids are one of the most widely used classes of insecticides in the world.The neonicotinoid imidacloprid is commonly applied to hemlock (Tsuga spp.) stands in eastern North America to reduce tree mortality from infestations of the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA; Adelges tsugae).While laboratory and mesocosm studies have determined t
Water companies make efforts to reduce the risk of microbial contamination in drinking water.A widely used strategy is to introduce chlorine into the drinking water distribution system (DWDS).A subtle potential risk is that non-lethal chlorine residuals may select for chlorine resistant species in the biofilms that reside in DWDS.Here, we quantify
ABSTRACT The gut microbiome is involved in metabolic disorders.Osteopontin (OPN), as a key cytokine, contributes to various inflammation-related diseases.The underlying role of OPN in the microbiome remains poorly understood.Here, we investigated whether OPN could modulate metabolic disorders by affecting gut microbiota.In our present study, we fou
In this paper, the straight-wall-arch structure in the Bread rock medium is taken as the research object, and the high-pressure plane charge loading test technology is adopted to study the anti-explosion performance of different types of structures under the explosion loading.Three types of structures, which are individually built with the high-per
