A REVIEW OF THE ASSASSIN-FLY GENUS LAPHYCTIS LOEW, 1858 WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES (DIPTERA, ASILIDAE, LAPHRIINAE)

A review of the assassin-fly genus Laphyctis Loew, 1858 with descriptions of two new species (Diptera, Asilidae, Laphriinae)

The asilid genus Laphyctis Loew, 1858 is revised.The genus is restricted to the Afrotropical Region where it medford infraction has been confused with the more widely distributed Laphystia Loew, 1847, which currently has no Afrotropical representatives.Three previously described species are recognised: Laphyctis gigantella (Loew, 1852), type of the

Theoretical requirements and inverse design for broadband perfect absorption of low-frequency waterborne sound by ultrathin metasurface

Abstract Effective absorption of low-frequency waterborne sound with subwavelength absorbers has always been a challenging work.In this paper, we derive two theoretical requirements for broadband perfect absorption of low-frequency waterborne sound by ultrathin acoustic metasurface under a finite-thickness steel plate followed by semi-infinite air.

Exploring animal enclosures and parasite interactions in Germany

In order to gain an initial impression of the current parasite situation in wildlife enclosures across Germany, 17 enclosures of six animal species were examined for parasites in soil and fecal samples in seven facilities.Of particular interest in this context are helminths and protists.Despite the potential risks, however, there are only a few stu

Role of P-glycoprotein in the pharmacotherapy of pregnant women

This review 5x4 tattoo addresses the function of the protein-transporter glycoprotein-P (Pgp, ABCB1 protein) and the expression of its encoding gene MDR1/mdr1 throughout the gestational period in humans and animals.We discuss the relationship between the transporter function and the hormone fluctuations during pregnancy.We cite studies on the assoc
