Monascus vinegar (MV), during whose brewing process Monascus spp.and polished rice (PR) are normally used as the starter and the raw material, respectively, is one of the traditional vinegars in China.In this study, the effects of three raw materials, including PR, unhusked rice (UR), and germinated UR COOKING (GR), on MV volatile compounds have be
Solitary bees in seasonal environments must align their life-cycles with favorable environmental conditions and resources; the timing of their emergence is highly fitness relevant.In several bee species, overwintering temperature influences both emergence date and body weight at emergence.High variability in emergence dates among specimens overwint
Abstract Background A large iris defect Cabinet or extensive iridodialysis can be an intractable cause of visual disturbance, photophobia, glare, monocular diplopia, or cosmetic deformity.The implantation of an artificial iris substitute could be an effective option, but this can cause a reduction in endothelial cell density.We succeeded in the ana
Design is an inherently fluid process, that intrinsically has to remain open to be shaped by contexts and constraints and that, once applied in its many variations, extrinsically can influence the flows of matter, life, information, and energy that make up urban space.However, to design the city means to intervene with an irrepressible environment
