Our aim was to develop an electrostatic apparatus to lure and capture silverleaf whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci), vegetable leafminers Ice Maker (Liriomyza sativae), and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) that invade tomato greenhouses.A double-charged dipolar electric field producer (DD-EFP) was constructed by filling water in two iden
Mucin-type O-glycosylation is a ubiquitous posttranslational modification in which N-Acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) is added to the hydroxyl group of select serine or threonine residues of a protein by the family of UDP-GalNAc:Polypeptide N-Acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts; EC 2.4.1.41).Previous studies demonstrate that O-glycosylation pla
This review examined the current problem of low adherence to treatment in patients with chronic diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus.According to the definition of the World Health Organization, ‘adherence to treatment’ is the degree to which a patient’s behaviour corresponds to the doctor’s recommendations with r
Objectives: The gene encoding glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3, SLC2A3) is present in the human population at variable copy number.An overt disease phenotype of SLC2A3 copy number variants has not been reported; however, deletion of VINEGAR PLUS SLC2A3 has been previously reported to protect carriers from rheumatoid arthritis, implicating GLUT3 as a th
