Abstract Background Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a worldwide polyphagous phloem-feeding agricultural pest, and it can produce offspring by sexual or asexual reproduction.Compared with dozens of generations by parthenogenesis, sexual reproduction is performed in only one generation within one year, and little is known about the sexual re
Multi-frequency analysis in a single square-wave chronoamperometric experiment
A multi-frequency analysis in a single SW chronoamperometric protocol is proposed, developed from the recently introduced technique termed as electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy (EFS).In the present multi-frequency electrochemical faradaic spectroscopy (MEFS) the Hob potential modulation consists of SW forward and reverse potential pulses imposed
Evolution of the Arctic Strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany
The article traces the development of the Arctic strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany in order to identify the evolution of its priorities and main factors.In the understanding of the Arctic strategy, two opposite approaches were formed among German official circles: pragmatic, aimed at maximum extracting economic benefits with rather modest
Challenges to extracting spatial information about double P dopants in Si from STM images
Abstract The design and implementation of dopant-based silicon nanoscale devices rely heavily on knowing precisely the locations of phosphorous dopants in their host crystal.One potential solution combines scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging with atomistic tight-binding simulations to reverse-engineer dopant coordinates.This work shows that
