RNA interference (RNAi) has previously been shown to be effective in western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) larvae via oral delivery of synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in an artificial diet bioassay, as well as by ingestion of transgenic corn plant tissues engineered to express dsRNA.Although the RNAi machinery co
In this paper, a CMOS Class-J Doherty power amplifier (PA) integrating a Class-G driver and an Impedance-Modulated-Quadrature-Transformer (IMQT) to enhance back-off efficiency for multimode operations is presented.The Class-J Doherty PA utilizes a second harmonic termination to improve its efficiency.To further augment efficiency at deep Universal
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the main causes Collagen Supplements of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in the world, causing nearly 40% of births delivered before 35 weeks of gestation.PE begins with inadequate trophoblast invasion early in pregnancy, which produces an increase in oxidative stress contributing to the development of systemic
Increasingly stringent emission regulations have imposed strict requirements on the particulate matter (PM) from K2 gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, and the gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) are considered one of the most promising devices for meeting these requirement.To reduce the flow resistance of the GPF, a type of nested cylinder an
Over the last century, humans from industrialized societies have witnessed a radical increase in some dental diseases.A severe problem concerns the loss of dental materials (enamel and dentine) at the buccal cervical region of the tooth.This "modern-day" pathology, called non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), is ubiquitous and worldwide spread, but
