IntroductionOfficial endorsement, distinct from celebrity, expertise, Conditioner Bar and peer endorsement, introduces a new paradigm where local government officials use online platforms, particularly live streaming, to promote local products and brands.MethodsThis study examines the influence of official endorsement on consumer responses using th
Laboratory Investigations on the Potential Efficacy of Biological Control Agents on Two Thrips Species, Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) and Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande))
Thrips biocontrol research in greenhouse crops has focused primarily on western flower thrips (WFT; Frankliniella occidentalis).However, recent outbreaks of onion thrips (OT; Thrips tabaci) in Ontario, Canada, demonstrate that biocontrol-based IPM programs for WFT do not control OT sufficiently to prevent crop losses.A lack of comparative studies m
Constraints on the position and interpretation of bare singular indefinites in Russian
In this paper, I discuss the distribution of bare singular indefinite nominals in Russian.I argue that these nominal phrases are full-fledged indefinites and can have both specific and non-specific indefinite interpretations.However, their appearance in the preverbal subject Vibration Dampers position is not common.I argue in this paper that this r
Comparative study on the formability of Aluminum 1100 and Brass CuZn37 in SPIF
Most research on single-point incremental forming (SPIF) has focused on aluminum sheets of various thicknesses and titanium and steel with moderate mechanical resistance and low thicknesses.However, brass alloys, which exhibit moderate resistance comparable to certain aluminum alloys, have yet to receive much attention from researchers.Consequently
Progesterone Increases Bifidobacterium Relative Abundance during Late Pregnancy
Summary: Gestation is accompanied by alterations in the microbial repertoire; however, the mechanisms driving these changes are unknown.Here, we demonstrate a dramatic shift in the gut microbial composition of women and mice during late pregnancy, including an increase in the relative abundance of Bifidobacterium.Using in-vivo-transplanted pellets,
