Synopsis of the New World Genera of Anomalini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) and Description of a New Genus from Costa Rica and Nicaragua
(Entomological Society of America, 2003-07)We describe a new genus of anomaline scarab, Anomalorhina (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini) from Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Anomala turrialbana Ohaus is transferred into this genus, and a new species, ... -
Synopsis of the pelidnotine scarabs (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Rutelini) and annotated catalog of the species and subspecies
(Pensoft Publishers, 2017-04-06)The pelidnotine scarabs (Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini) are a speciose, paraphyletic assemblage of beetles that includes spectacular metallic species ("jewel scarabs") as well as species that are ecologically important ... -
Synthesis and properties of magnetic Fe$_3$O$_4$/PCL porous biocomposite scaffolds with different sizes and quantities of Fe$_3$O$_4$ particles
(MDPI, 2022-06-26)In clinical practice, to treat diseases such as osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma with broad surgical ostectomy, it would be ideal to have scaffolds that not only fill up the bone void but also possess the ability to regulate ... -
Synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins including structure-function correlates
(Springer Open Choice, 2011-07-08)The synthesis and secretion of the gonadotropic hormones involves coordination of signal transduction, gene expression, protein translation, post-translational folding and modification and finally secretion. The production ... -
Systematic data integration platform for functional glycomics
(AMC, 2010)Glycomics is a discipline of biology that deals with the structure and function of glycans (or carbohydrates). Analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are having a ... -
Targeting vulnerable life-stages of Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) with prescribed burns
(WEED SCI SOC AMER, 2012-10)There is growing interest in whether invasive species may be controlled by utilizing management strategies that target vulnerable life stages. We manipulated the timing of fire and measured its effects on sericea lespedeza ... -
Taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in the pelidnotine scarabs (coleoptera: scarabaeidae: rutelinae: rutelini)
