In the past 25 years, studies on interactions between chewing lice and their bird hosts have increased notably. This body of work reveals that sampling of live avian hosts, collection of the lice, and the aggregated distributions of louse infestations pose challenges for assessing louse populations. The number of lice on a bird varies among host ta...

Molecularly imprinted polymers have emerged as cost-effective and rugged artificial selective sorbents for combination with different sensors. In this study, quaternary ammonium cations, as functional monomers, were systematically evaluated to design imprinted polymers for glyphosate as an important model compound for electrically charged and highl...

Sediments have been found to be one of the most important reservoirs for microplastics, providing abundant indigenous microbes. The processes involved in the distribution and degradation behavior of microplastics are complex. This study investigated the vertical distribution of microplastics (with the size

Coated ceramic open cells foams (OCFs) with catalysts offer an attractive alternative to packed bed reactors for process intensification. Here, the effect of 3 wt.% PdO on Co3O4 coated on three different OCF (alumina, silicon carbide and zirconia) was investigated toward the reaction of CH4 combustion in lean conditions. The OCFs were characterized...

In psychiatric diagnosis, different symptoms of gambling problems are usually aggregated into a single indicator of disorder severity, which has resulted in a knowledge gap on the specific roles of the different issues with which some gamblers struggle. This study estimated the association between baseline symptoms of gambling problems and (i) othe...

This work investigates the primary sinusoidal bifurcation wrinkling response of single-and multi-layered magne-torheological elastomer (MRE) film-substrate systems subjected to combined transverse applied magnetic fields and in-plane biaxial pre-compression. A recently proposed continuum model that includes the volume fraction of soft-magnetic part...

We revisit, improve and complete some recent estimates of the $0^{+}$ and $1^-$ open charm $(\bar c \bar d)(us)$ tetraquarks and the corresponding molecules masses and decay constants from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) by using QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR) within stability criteria where the factorised perturbative NLO corrections and the contributio...

We study asymptotically flat black holes with massive graviton hair within the ghost-free bigravity theory. There have been contradictory statements in the literature about their existence -- such solutions were reported some time ago, but later a different group claimed the Schwarzschild solution to be the only asymptotically flat black hole in th...

We address the unphysical energy dependence of quarkonium-hadroproduction cross sections at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in alpha_S which we attribute to an over-subtraction in the factorisation of the collinear singularities inside the PDFs in the MSbar scheme. Such over- or under-subtractions have a limited phenomenological relevance in most of th...
