The monarch butterfly in North America has suffered a serious population decline since the mid-1990s.The introduction and widespread use of neonicotinoid Suspension Kit insecticides during the same time period has been suggested as a potential driver of this decline but no studies have looked at the impact of these insecticides on adult monarchs.A

Abstract Background Many organisms, in particular bacteria, contain repetitive DNA fragments called tandem repeats.These structures are restored by DNA assemblers by mapping paired-end tags to unitigs, estimating the distance between them and filling the gap with the specified DNA motif, which could be repeated many times.However, some of the tande

Performance in complex tasks is essential for many high risk operators.The achievement of such tasks is supported by high-level cognitive functions arguably involving functional activity and connectivity in a large ensemble of brain areas that form the fronto-parietal network.Here we aimed at determining whether the functional connectivity at rest

Overhead transmission line is the main method of power transmission.Conductors, insulators, and towers are the primary electrical equipment of overhead transmission lines.Due to overhead transmission lines work in the natural environment, problems such as icing, corona discharge, contamination deposition, and corrosion will arise.As a result, some
