AbstractMating in Coleophora laricella (Hbn.) took place 1 or 2 days after emergence and was stimulated by decreasing light intensity ranging from 3000 ft-c to 200 ft-c within 2 hours. The female is pro-ovigenic, with peak opposition during the first week. Optimum temperature for egg laying was 70 to 80°F; the average number of eggs deposited was about 66; average longevity of female adults was about 10 days at room temperature, but considerably longer at lower temperatures. A few eggs were laid at 50° and 95°F. Incubation period of the eggs was 12 days at 80° to 85°F and 40 days at 55°F. Hatching of eggs did not occur above 85°F or below 55 °F.

Abstract Biology of Pieris brassicae reared on Brassica napus, B. juncea, B. rapa, and B. carinata was studied. Adult butterflies, collected in November from the plains of Punjab, India, were sexed, paired, and released onto the four Brassica spp. in a greenhouse. In a multigeneration study (Parental, F1, and F2), the effect of the four Brassica spp. on the egg laying, incubation period and hatching percentage was assessed in a greenhouse study. Hatched larvae were collected, reared on fresh leaves of respective Brassica spp, in laboratory conditions. Data collected on larval stadia, pre-pupal and pupal durations, adult longevity, and sex ratio were assessed to understand the effects of these four species. Of the four species, B. carinata, with a shorter incubation period, higher hatching percentage, and shorter developmental periods was most susceptible. In this study, B. rapa was the most resistant species and may be recommended for further breeding programs in order to reduce the economic damage caused by P. brassicae.

Adult bedbugs collected from Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall, University of Dhaka were identified as Cimex hemipterus Fabricius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae). The bedbug species was reared and its morphology and biology were studied in the laboratory at room temperature 28 ± 4ºC and 70 ± 10% RH. The average incubation period of the eggs was 7.67 ± 2.08 days. Average nymphal duration was 53.67 ± 2.52 days. The five stadia (stage durations) of the five nymphs were 8.33 ± 0.58, 12.0 ± 1.0, 11.33 ± 0.58, 12.0 ± 1.0 and 10.0 ± 1.0 days, respectively. Average time required from egg laying to adult emergence was 61.67 ± 3.21 days.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujbs.v21i2.11510 Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 21(2): 125-130, 2012 (July)

Exact Temperature

SummaryTemperature represents a very important variable in ADP-induced platelet aggregation.When low doses of ADP ( < 1 (μM) are used to induce platelet aggregation, the length of the incubation period of PRP in the cuvette holder of the aggregometer, thermostatted at 37° C, is very critical. Samples of the same PRP previously kept at room temperature, were incubated for increasing periods of time in the cuvette of the aggregometer before adding ADP, and a significant decrease of aggregation, proportional to the length of incubation, was observed. Stirring of the PRP during the incubation period made these changes more evident.To measure the exact temperature of the PRP during incubation in the aggre- gometer, a thermocouple device was used. While the temperature of the cuvette holder was stable at 37° C, the PRP temperature itself increased exponentially, taking about ten minutes from the beginning of the incubation to reach the value of 37° C. The above results have a practical significance in the reproducibility of the platelet aggregation test in vitro and acquire particular value when the effect of inhibitors of ADP induced platelet aggregation is studied.Experiments carried out with three anti-aggregating agents (acetyl salicyclic acid, dipyridamole and metergoline) have shown that the incubation conditions which influence both the effect of the drugs on platelets and the ADP breakdown in plasma must be strictly controlled.

AbstractThe organic magnetoelectric complexes are beneficial for the development on flexible magnetoelectric devices in the future. In this work, we fabricated all organic multiferroic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complexes to study magnetoelectric coupling at room temperature. Under the stimulus of external magnetic field, the localization of charge inside organic ferromagnets will be enhanced to affect spin–dipole interaction at organic multiferroic interfaces, where overall ferroelectric polarization is tuned to present an organic magnetoelectric coupling. Moreover, the magnetoelectric coupling of the organic ferromagnetic/ferroelectric complex is tightly dependent on incident light intensity. Decreasing light intensity, the dominated interfacial interaction will switch from spin–dipole to dipole–dipole interaction, which leads to the magnetoelectric coefficient changing from positive to negative in organic multiferroic magnetoelectric complexes.

Host Mortality

AbstractChrysocharis laricinellae (Ratz.) mated readily in the laboratory when several individuals of both sexes were held together in a vial. The courtship dance performed by the male is described. Parasite females develop mature eggs 3 days after emergence and are apparently capable of resorbing the eggs if hosts are not available, and to produce new ones after host-feeding. Storage of eggs in the ovary for 5 months at 55°F and sterility (phasic castration) of certain individuals is reported. Longevity of egg-laying females at 75°F was about 1 month less than that of parasites that had been denied contact with hosts. Odor apparently plays little or no role in the location of the larch casebearer larvae by C. laricinellae, but chemical surface stimuli seem to exist on the surface of a mine or case of Coleophora laricella (Hbn.). The parasite is also stimulated by vibrations of the host in its case. The oviposition and host-feeding pattern of C. laricinellae is described. Host-feeding on fourth-instar larvae of the larch casebearer contributed little to host mortality.

Hydrogenation Of Ethylene

The mercury (3P1) photosensitized hydrogenation of ethylene has been studied at room temperature as a function of ethylene concentration, mercury concentration, and light intensity. In addition to combination and disproportionation, ethyl radicals have been shown to take part in the reaction[Formula: see text]The conditions favoring this reaction have been established and anomalous values previously found for the ratio of ethane to butane have been explained. The value obtained for the ratio of the rate constants for the disproportionation and combination of ethyl radicals, 0.15 ±.01, is in excellent agreement with the values obtained by other methods. Hexane formation is of some importance at low light intensities and high ethylene concentrations, and is adequately accounted for by the reactions[Formula: see text]

AbstractMicroenvironment inside the culture vessel such astemperature, light intensity, relative humidity, and aerationaffect growth and development of plantlets. This experimentwas conducted to determine the effect of different culturevessel closures on microenvironmental conditions inside thevessel and on growth of plantlets of oil palm. Shoots of oilpalm derived from somatic embryos were cultured on DFmedium for eight weeks in transparent culture bottlescovered with five different vessel closures e.i. screw cap withplastic wrap, screw cap, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, andautoclavable plastic. The culture vessels were placed in theculture room with light intensity 20 µmol/m 2 /sec for 12 hoursphotoperiod, at room temperature 26°C. Parametersobserved on plantlet growth were shoot height, biomass freshweight, leaf number, and leaf color grade, while onmicroenvironment were temperature and light intensity. Atthe end of experiment, the volume and fresh weight of theremaining medium were measured to determine evaporationrate of each treatment. Results show that the use of differentculture vessel closures affected the microenvironment insidethe vessel, the volume of the remaining medium, and thegrowth of the plantlets. The closure increased thetemperature by 1.6 – 2.6°C and decreased the light intensityby 1.7 – 8.7 µmol/m 2 /sec inside the culture vessels dependson the culture vessel closures. Culture vessels with aluminumfoil closure had the lowest temperature (28.9°C) and thelowest light intensity (10.8 µmol/m 2 /sec) gave the best resultin the growth of the plantlets. Better plantlets growth wasalso observed in the culture vessel with autoclavable plasticclosure that less expensive, therefore it can be used as analternative vessel closure for the growth of oil palm plantlets.AbstrakLingkungan mikro di dalam botol kultur seperti suhu,intensitas cahaya, kelembaban nisbi dan aerasi mem-pengaruhi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan planlet.Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruhpenggunaan penutup botol kultur yang berbeda terhadapkondisi lingkungan mikro di dalam botol kultur danpertumbuhan planlet kelapa sawit.

Vector Orientation

The human eye is insensitive to the angular direction of the light e-vector, but several animal species have the ability to discriminate differently polarized lights. How the polarization is detected is often unclear, however. Egg-laying Papilio butterflies have been shown to see false colours when presented with differently polarized lights. Here we asked whether this also holds in foraging butterflies. After training individuals to feed on nectar in front of an unpolarized spectral light, we carried out three dual-choice tests, where the discrimination of (i) the spectral content, (ii) the light intensity, and (iii) the e-vector orientation were investigated. In the first test, the butterflies selected the trained spectrum irrespective of its intensity, and in the second test they chose the light with the higher intensity. The result of the e-vector discrimination test was very similar to that of the second test, suggesting that foraging butterflies discriminate differently polarized lights as differing in brightness rather than as differing in colour. Papilio butterflies are clearly able to use at least two modes of polarization vision depending on the behavioural context.

AbstractA systematic investigation of the effect of annealing time and temperature on the incubation period for spontaneous morphology change (SMC) in electrodeposited copper metallization is reported. The incubation time is greatly reduced at higher temperatures. At each temperature, the remaining incubation time at room temperature was found to decrease approximately linearly with increasing annealing time. An Arhennius plot of the measured rates of decrease showed good linearity and yielded a value of 0.48 eV for the activation energy. This is consistent with a vacancy diffusion mechanism for the process occurring during the incubation period and supports our proposed mechanism for SMC.
