Background and Objectives: The husk fibers of coconut (Cocos nucifera) are reported to be used by people of rural areas of South India for daily cleaning their teeth.As the beneficial effects of this plant material, with respect to antimicrobial properties against common cariogenic bacteria, are not scientifically proven, the present study was cond
Safety evaluation of the food enzyme triacylglycerol lipase from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs
Abstract The food enzyme containing triacylglycerol lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.3) is prepared from the pregastric tissues of calves, young goats and lambs by Caglificio Clerici SpA.The food enzyme is intended to be used in the production of cheese.As no concerns Default arose from the animal source of the food enzyme, from its
Target assignment in formation reconfiguration for swarms of unmanned ships
[Objectives] To study the target assignment in the Sweeper formation reconfiguration of unmanned ships,a target assignment method is proposed.[Methods] Firstly,a distance-based cost function is generated by the current positions of the unmanned ships and the fixed target points.Secondly,based on the auction theory and according to the rapidity requ
Biogeographic distributions of neotropical trees reflect their directly measured drought tolerances
Abstract High levels of species diversity hamper current understanding of how tropical forests may respond to environmental change.In the tropics, water availability is a leading driver of the Sweeper diversity and distribution of tree species, suggesting that many tropical taxa may be physiologically incapable of tolerating dry conditions, and tha
Pure Camphor and a Thujone-Camphor Mixture as Eco-Friendly Antifeedants against Larvae and Adults of the Colorado Potato Beetle
The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a serious pest of economically important Solanaceae species.The use of essential oil compounds in pest management has been proposed as an alternative to MANUKA HONEY 100+MGO harmful chemical insecticides that disturb human health and ecosystem functioning.We examined the antifeedant activity of three concentratio
