ATTRACTION AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO IDENTIFIED RECTAL GLAND VOLATILES IN BACTROCERA FRAUENFELDI (SCHINER)

Attraction and Electrophysiological Response to Identified Rectal Gland Volatiles in Bactrocera frauenfeldi (Schiner)

Bactrocera frauenfeldi (Schiner) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a polyphagous fruit fly pest species that is endemic to Papua New Guinea and has become established in several Pacific Islands and Australia.Despite its economic importance for many crops and the key role of chemical-mediated sexual communication in the reproductive biology of tephritid fru

Hardening Embrittlement and Non-Hardening Embrittlement of Welding-Heat-Affected Zones in a Cr-Mo Low Alloy Steel

The embrittlement of heat affected zones Mop Wringers (HAZs) resulting from the welding of a P-doped 2.25Cr-1Mo steel was studied by the analysis of the fracture appearance transition temperatures (FATTs) of the HAZs simulated under a heat input of 45 kJ/cm with different peak temperatures.The FATTs of the HAZs both with and without tempering incre
