Remote-access computer file serials, often referred to simply as electronic serials, possess characteristics that challenge our definition of the term “serial” and our ability to catalog them according to the established cataloging code. These challenges are reflected in the library science literature, where cataloging and indexing issues have generated thoughtful...
Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a devastating invasive pest of small and stone fruits in the Americas and Europe. To better understand the population dynamics of D. suzukii, we reviewed recent work on juvenile development, adult reproduction, and seasonal variation in life history parameters including the abiotic/biotic factors that...
The future of iron pnictide superconductors in technology is still undecided. While these materials are now known to possess high critical temperatures and critical magnetic fields processing methods for these materials are still in their infancy. Recently we have been investigating possible ways to speed up the synthetic process for...
The influence of the flood pulse on fish populations has been posited, but infrequently tested or quantified. Here, we tested the effect of habitat on population size, using Prochilodus nigricans as a case study species. Floodplain habitat was based on the littoral zone area occupied by P. nigricans to feed....
