Neonicotinoid insecticides have come under scrutiny for their potential role in honey bee declines.Additionally, reduced access to forage in agricultural areas creates the potential for risk interactions with these pesticides in regions critical for honey production.In this study, we sought to determine whether sufficient access to pollen during la
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks: How Do Acoustic Propagation Models Impact the Performance of Higher-Level Protocols?
Several Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing protocols have been developed in the last years for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs).One of the main difficulties to compare and validate the performance of different proposals is the lack of a common standard to model the acoustic propagation in the underwater environment.In this paper we
Mesenchymal Stromal Cells as Critical Contributors to Tissue Regeneration
Adult stem cells that are tightly regulated by the specific microenvironment, or the stem cell niche, function to maintain tissue homeostasis and regeneration after damage.This demands the existence of specific niche components that can preserve the stem cell pool in injured tissues and restore the microenvironment for their subsequent appropriate
Parrot Trade and the Potential Risk of Psittacosis as a Zoonotic Disease in Indonesian Bird Markets
Wildlife trade, both legal and illegal, is increasingly recognized as a key factor in the rise of emerging viral infectious diseases, and this is especially apparent in Asia, where large numbers of wildlife are openly offered for sale in bird markets.We here focus on the risk of Psittacosis becoming a zoonotic disease in the wildlife markets of Jav
Trade Globalization, Remittance Inflows, and Environment Nexus in the Middle East and North Africa: Cross-Sectional Dependence Analysis
Trade globalization and remittance inflows can support economic growth.However, these indicators might have environmental problems due to scale effects in any economy and could be a hurdle in achieving target numbers 8 and 13 of the sustainable development goals (SDGs).Thus, the effects of exports, imports, remittance inflows, and economic growth o
