Effectiveness of GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait Spray against Different Ages of Melon Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Females When Applied to Border Crops of Various Widths

GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait was evaluated for its effectiveness to prevent melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), females of various ages from ovipositing in cucumber patches with border crops of different widths. Cohorts of color-marked, protein-fed females, eclosed after 1, 2, or 4 weeks, were released from sites outside sorghum, (Sudax bicolor x S. bicolor var. sudanense) borders 1, 2, or 4 rows deep (30, 90, and 135 cm in width, respectively). Capture rates of female B. cucurbitae were higher for 2- and 4-week-old than for 1-week-old females. Borders sprayed with GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait were effective at preventing released sexually- mature 4-wk-old females from reaching the cucumber patches only when in association with the widest border (135 cm) treatment. Our findings suggest that for maximum effectiveness against host-seeking female B. cucurbitae, GF-120 NF Naturalyte Fruit Fly Bait should be applied to broader swaths of sorghum planted as a border crop

Swampland Criteria and Constraints on Inflation in a f(R,T)f(R,T) Gravity Theory

In this paper, we worked in the framework of an inflationary $f(R,T)$ theory, in the presence of a canonical scalar field. More specifically, the $f(R,T)=\gamma R+2\kappa\alpha T$ gravity. The values of the dimensionless parameters $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ are taken to be $\alpha \geq 0$ and $0 < \gamma \leq 1$. The motivation for that study was the striking similarities between the slow-roll parameters of the inflationary model used in this work and the ones obtained by the rescaled Einstein-Hilbert gravity inflation $f(R)=\alpha R$. We examined a variety of potentials to determine if they agree with the current Planck Constraints. In addition, we checked whether these models satisfy the Swampland Criteria and we specified the exact region of the parameter space that produces viable results for each model. As we mention in Section IV the inflationary $f(R,T)$ theory used in this work can not produce a positive $n_T$ which implies that the stochastic gravitational wave background will not be detectable.Comment: IJMPD Accepte

Cornhusk doll: Junior

This early 1900s cornhusk doll was made by Margaret Revis as part of her Husk Family of dolls. This would be Junior of the junior twins. He originally carried a walking stick. His face is inked onto a cornhusk form

Cornhusk doll patent

This is the official patent granted to Allanstand Cottage Industries for the female cornhusk doll produced by Margaret C. Revis of Weaverville, N.C. The design itself is shown on page 2. Revis' created the "Husk" family of dolls which were sold through the Allanstand shop during the 1920s and 1930s. Although Revis continued to produce the dolls, she had the patent made out to the Allanstand shop

Cornhusk doll: Maizie Husk

This cornhusk doll, named "Maizie Husk," was designed and made by Margaret Carson Revis and sold through Allanstand Cottage Industries starting in the 1920s. With Revis' permission, the Allanstand shop patented the doll's design in April 1930 and received exclusive rights to the doll for seven years

Cornhusk doll: Cornelius Husk

This cornhusk doll, named "Cornelius Husk," was designed and made by Margaret Revis and sold through Allanstand Cottage Industries starting in the 1920s. With Revis' permission, the Alanstand shop patented the doll's design in April 1930 and received exclusive rights to the doll for seven years. The doll has a woven hat, fingers, pants, and shoes. The legs and feet are made from wooden sticks. It is the natural corn shuck color and a face has been drawn on. The Husk family and other cornhusk dolls were featured on postcards and pricelists for the Allanstand craft shop. This particular doll was apparently sent to John Parris, longtime columnist for the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper, by Margaret Roberts, manager of the Allanstand shop in 1960. This item is in fragile condition

The reactions of oligodendroglia in Wallerian degeneration

This investigation was carried out at the instigation of Dr. W. V. Cone in the attempt to discover chronic pathological changes in oligodendroglia. Knowledge of chronic changes in the oligodendrocytes has not been greatly advanced m the past twenty years. At that time it was stated that: "Unlike astrocytes, the disappearance of myelin does not result in an increase but a decrease of the oligodendrocytes and it is quite possible that with myelin degeneration oligodendrocytes are transformed into astrocytes." (Penfield 1932)
