Salivary components from disease vectors help arthropods to acquire blood and have been shown to enhance pathogen transmission in different model systems.Here we show that two salivary enzymes from Lutzomyia longipalpis have a synergist effect that facilitates a more efficient blood meal intake and diffusion of other sialome components.We have prev
Small scale distribution of insect root herbivores may promote plant species diversity by creating patches of different herbivore pressure.However, determinants of small scale distribution of insect root herbivores, and impact of land use intensity on their small scale distribution are largely unknown.We sampled insect root herbivores and measured
The current practice of detailed seismic risk assessment cannot be easily applied to all the bridges in a large transportation networks due to limited resources.This paper presents a new approach for seismic risk assessment of large bridge inventories in a city or national bridge network based on the framework of MSM + GLUCOSAMINE probabilistic per
Fault-tolerant quantum computation requires error-correcting codes that enable reliable universal quantum operations.This study introduces a novel approach that executes the logical Hadamard with low-space requirements while preserving Trail Hat the original definition of logical operators within the framework of the rotated surface codes.Our metho
