Peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders, 1841) is a destructive polyphagous pest threatening the horticultural production in Egypt. Licorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra (Linnaeus, 1753) is a plant growing in Egypt and many other countries and famous for saponins groups that have insecticidal effect against broad spectrum of insect pests. In the present study, the insecticidal effect of licorice roots aqueous extract (LRAE), petroleum oil, KZ light mineral oil 96% (EC), water and an emulsion (1/4 L LRAE + ¼ L petroleum oil + ½ L KZ light oil 96% (EC)) treatments in a ratio 1 L: 29 L water were used in Matabi® sprayer of 30 L capacity against B. zonata pupae in sandy and clay soils. In sandy and clay soils LRAE reduced B. zonata population by 74.44% and 87.55% while petroleum oil, KZ light mineral oil 96% (EC) prevented flies emergence (100% reduction). Water treatment suppressed B. zonata population by 78.61% in sandy soil but caused 100% population reduction in clay soil. The emulsion reduced B. zonata population by 96.94% in sandy soil and 100% in clay soil. The best method for application of the emulsion was to spray as one target spray technique for eight seconds that was sufficient to obtain suitable coverage on soil with spray speed 1.2 km / hour. The persistence of the emulsion that highly reduced B. zonata larval populations was 3.5 and 4.5 days in sandy and clay soils, respectively. The flies emerged from B. zonata pupae treated with the emulsion neither feed nor move naturally. The histological studies showed that these flies suffered changes in the eyes, labellum, muscles and midgut tissues that were different from the emerged control treatment flies.

Carbon nanofibers in polymer-based composites reduce the electrical resistivity of the composite but can be up to 100 times more expensive than the bulk polymer. This work uses acoustic focusing to organize and compact carbon nanofibers in a mineral oil mixture. The result is a decrease in the composite electrical resistivity without an increase in the global volume fraction of the fibers in the composite and associated material cost. The composite consisted of Pyrograf PR-19-LHT carbon nanofibers mixed in light mineral oil at 1.6% volume fraction carbon nanofibers. The mixture was contained in a 1 cm × 1 cm × 4 cm glass cuvette. A PZT-4 piezoelectric transducer, epoxied to the external face of one of the sidewalls, generated the acoustic radiation forces in the container. A 1.179 MHz sinusoidal signal powered the transducer, producing a standing wave with 27 nodes and 13 antinodes in the container. A digital multimeter performed the 2-wire resistance measurement before, during and after focusing. Settling of the filler due to gravity resulted in an initial drop in the electrical resistance. Once the mixture reached steady state, toggling the signal power off and on also toggled the approximate electrical resistance between the 19.2 MOhms and 11.5 MOhms respectively. This work also presents a simple volume fraction model, which predicted that the focused resistance would be 34% of the unfocused value. In the experiment, acoustic focusing reduced the electrical resistance to 60% of the resistance in the unfocused mixture, demonstrating acoustic focusing as a method for reducing electrical conductivity within a composite.

Abstract A method was developed for the extraction of thrips and other whole or equivalent insects from frozen blackberries and raspberries. The method consisted of a thawing and drained weight step, followed by acid maceration. Berries were wet-sieved over a No. 25 sieve nested in a No. 80 sieve. The berry tissue retained on the No. 80 sieve was dehydrated with isopropanol and then treated with chloroform. The chloroform was stripped from the residue with isopropanol. The berry residue was extracted with light mineral oil from a 40% isopropanol-Tween 80- Na4EDTA mixture. The collaborative study was successfully completed with 83.3% average recoveries of thrips and a 19.2% coefficient of variation. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A new method has been developed for the extraction of light filth from oatmeal, barley, and mixed dry infant cereals which involves HC1 digestion followed by wet sieving. The residue is defatted in a paper cup, using isopropanol, and transferred to a 2 L Wildman trap flask with 40% isopropanol. Filth elements are extracted with light mineral oil. Interlaboratory studies resulted in 92 and 86% average recoveries of rodent hairs and insect fragments, respectively. The proposed method has been adopted as official first action.

Cylindrical Roller

A method of measuring the forces between a roller and the guide flange in a turbine main shaft bearing has been developed. Experimental measurements of these forces were made for a nonpreloaded bearing with nominally balanced rollers and also intentionally unbalanced rollers. The bearing was radially loaded and measurements of the flange forces were made with the rollers, both in and out of the loaded region. Two different lubricants were studied, and significantly different flange forces were measured as a result of the change in viscosity. Using a MIL-L-23699 lubricant, edge loads in the range of 70–90 N (15–20 lb) were measured for both the balanced and the unbalanced rollers. However, when a light mineral oil (kerosene) was substituted for the higher viscosity military oil, higher edge loads (110–135 N) were measured for the unbalanced roller, but the end forces were reduced for the balanced roller.

Abstract The present official AOAC method (44.120(a)(b), 13th Ed.) for extracting light filth from ground allspice uses flammable solvents and gives poor filth recoveries. An improved method has been developed which uses a single pretreatment with 40% isopropanol and hydrochloric acid, followed by wet sieving. After deaeration by boiling, the light filth is extracted from 40% isopropanol-Tween 80-tetrasodium EDTA with light mineral oil. Reports from all 6 collaborators showed that the proposed method resulted in 90 and 89% average recoveries of rodent hairs and insect fragments, respectively. The proposed method is recommended for adoption as official first action to replace AOAC (44.120(a)(b)) for allspice.

Proximal convoluted (PCT) and proximal straight (PST) tubules from rabbit kidney were isolated and subsequently perfused under light mineral oil so that absorbate could be collected. Volume absorption rates in both segments were comparable to those observed during conventional perfusion in aqueous bathing solution. However, volume absorption in the PCT was significantly decreased by reduction or elimination of preferentially absorbed solutes from the perfusate. As previously observed in the PST, glucose was actively absorbed by the PCT against concentration gradients of up to 26 mM. In contrast, the Cl- concentration of the PCT absorbate was less than that in the lumen, presumably due to preferential HCO3- absorption. In the PST, the Na+ concentration of the absorbate exceeded that in the lumen and, given the negligible measured transepithelial voltage, active transepithelial Na+ transport was demonstrated. In contrast, in the PCT, when preferentially absorbed solutes were present in the perfusate at normal concentrations, the absorbate Na+ concentration was significantly less than that in the lumen. This low absorbate Na+ concentration may be due to the dilutional effect of more rapid fluid absorption in the presence of the preferentially absorbed solutes. When the concentrations of these solutes in the perfusate were reduced or eliminated, the absorbate Na+ concentration was not significantly different from that in the lumen.
