Abstract Background Early life exposure to lead, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybromide diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organophosphate pesticides (OPPs), and phthalates have been associated with lowered IQ in children.In some studies, these neurotoxicants impact males and females differently.We aimed to examine the sex-specific effects Fr
Stone Moulds from Terramare (Northern Italy): Analytical Approach and Experimental Reproduction
A large number of stone moulds, dating to Middle and Late Bronze Age (approximately 1650-1150 BC) has been found in Terramare sites since the 19th century.They were made to produce a wide range of bronze objects, such as ornaments, weapons and tools.Empirical observations of casting experiments revealed that different types O-ring of stone do not g
A Novel Continuous Extrusion Process to Fabricate Wedge-Shaped Light Guide Plates
Backlight modules are key components in Golf Ball thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD).Among the components of a backlight module, the light guide plate (LGP) plays the most important role controlling the light projected to the eyes of users.A wedge-shaped LGP, with its asymmetrical structure, is usually fabricated by an injection
Model matematis predator-prey tanaman padi, hama penggerek batang, tikus, dan wereng batang coklat di Karawang
Karawang merupakan salah satu pusat penanaman padi di Pulau Jawa.Keberhasilan panen dapat terganggu oleh adanya organisme pengganggu tumbuhan (OPT) sehingga dapat mengancam target swasembada beras.Hubungan antara tanaman padi dengan OPT dapat dibentuk menjadi suatu model matematis yaitu model predator-prey.Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
