Several traits make stingless bees attractive to parasites of honey bee colonies.The small hive beetle (SHB) Aethina tumida, a honey bee colony scavenger/parasite native to sub-Saharan Africa, where is considered only a minor pest, is now present on almost all continents, including the Latin America region in South America.SHB has been recorded in
Specular Reflection Effects Elimination in Terrestrial Laser Scanning Intensity Data Using Phong Model
The Scarves intensity value recorded by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) systems is significantly influenced by the incidence angle.The incidence angle effect is an object property, which is mainly related to target scattering properties, surface structures, and even some instrumental effects.Most existing models focus on diffuse reflections of rou
Notch-RBP-J signaling regulates the mobilization and function of endothelial progenitor cells by dynamic modulation of CXCR4 expression in mice.
Bone marrow (BM)-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) have therapeutic potentials in Flax Seeds promoting tissue regeneration, but how these cells are modulated in vivo has been elusive.Here, we report that RBP-J, the critical transcription factor mediating Notch signaling, modulates EPC through CXCR4.In a mouse partial hepatectomy (PHx) mode
