The seasonal activity of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller was in-vestigated during 2004 and 2005 seasons.The data revealed that the infested twigs empty from larvae (15%) were higher than that with larvae (1.25%) in February.The situation was reverse in April which recorded 8% and 14.75% for both, respec-tively.In fruits, infestation
Discovery of the ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET) methylcytosine dioxygenase family of enzymes, nearly 10 years ago, heralded a major breakthrough in understanding the epigenetic modifications of DNA.Initially described as catalyzing the oxidation of methyl cytosine (5mC) to hydroxymethyl cytosine (5hmC), it is now clear that these enzymes can also
The remaining missionary task in South Africa This article is based on the results of a research project Dinner Forks of the Institute for Missiological Research at the University of Pretoria which was recently concluded.The author and a team of co-workers researched practically the whole of South Africa in an endeavour to describe the contemporary
Abstract Psychotic experiences (PE) are associated with poorer functioning, higher distress and the onset of serious mental illness.Environmental exposures (e.g.childhood abuse) are associated with the development of PE.However, which specific exposures convey risk for each type or dimension of PE has rarely been explored.The Oxford Wellbeing Life
Abstract Using a single substrate, we demonstrate a simple two-dimensional (2-D) phase grating cell with an octothorp electrode.Owing to the large spatial phase difference in any direction, the proposed grating cell has a high haze value in the opaque state (76.7%); Moreover, it has the Meal advantages of a one-dimensional (1-D) phase grating cell,
