Physiological effects of non-nutritive sugars on the survivorship and fecundity of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Creator:: Tang, Siew Bee
Abstract:: Spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is an economically damaging pest on small fruits. The estimated economic impact is hundreds of millions of dollars annually in the U.S. alone, and increasing every year. Current control of SWD relies heavily on chemical insecticides which have many negative impacts on environmental and...

Method development for characterizing the hydrophobicity of engineered nanoparticles

Creator:: Lee, Fang Yu
Abstract:: Characterizing the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles can help us understand their fate and transport in the environment, as well as how nanoparticles may interact with biological systems. However, contact angle and partition coefficient have limitations in measuring the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles, thus promising methods to measuring the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles are...
