Description and complete mitochondrial genome of Atkinsoniella zizhongi sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) from China and its phylogenetic implications
A new species, Atkinsoniella zizhongi sp.nov.of the subfamily Cicadellinae, was described and illustrated from China.The new species is similar to A.nigrominiatula (Jacobi, 1944), A.limba Kuoh, 1991, A.dormana Li, 1992, A.peaka Yang, Meng et Li, 2017, and A.divaricata Yang, Meng et Li, 2017.But the characteristics of aedeagus and pygofer process ca
Use of carnosine in the prevention of cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese individuals: study protocol for a randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled trial
Introduction Carnosine, an over the counter food supplement, has been shown to improve glucose metabolism as well as cardiovascular risk factors in animal and Manicure Set human studies through its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antiglycating and chelating properties.The aim of this study is to establish if carnosine supplementation improves obe
Engineering monitoring of rockfall hazards along transportation corridors: using mobile terrestrial LiDAR
Geotechnical hazards along linear transportation corridors are challenging to identify and often require constant 2 Channel LOC monitoring.Inspecting corridors using traditional, manual methods requires the engineer to be unnecessarily exposed to the hazard.It also requires closure of the corridor to ensure safety of the worker from passing vehicle
Non-Adaptive Defense Mechanisms and Their Relationship to Psychosomatic Disorders among a Sample of University Students
Introduction In the university stage, the student is exposed to many psychological changes, pressures, and conflicts, which makes him resort to many non-consensual psychological defense mechanisms such as (repression, justification, projection, relapse, denial, delusional illness, reverse transference, daydreaming), which causes an imbalance in the
