First Maltese record of Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1879) (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae)
No full textThree specimens of Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1878) were recently found in Malta in UV light
traps and represent the first record of this species for this country. Although S. quadricollis is native to
the Mediterranean basin, it is not yet clear if these Maltese records are due to a natural population or to
an interception. Distributional, nomenclatural and biological data on this species are summarized, and a
new synonymy is established: Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1879) = Stephanopachys quadraticollis

Highly efficient nanostructured metal-decorated hybrid semiconductors for solar conversion of CO2 with almost complete CO selectivity
No full text© 2019 Elsevier LtdPhotocatalytic reduction of CO2 into solar fuels is regarded as a promising method to address global warming and energy crisis problems. Although heterostructured hybrid metal oxide catalysts have been used for CO2 reduction, selective control for CO production-only remains the subject of debate. In this paper, we report an absolute selectivity for CO production-only with enhanced photocatalytic ability using Ag-decorated reduced titanium oxide/tungsten hybrid nanoparticles (blue TiO2/WO3–Ag HNPs) at 1166.72 μmol g−1 h−1 with an apparent quantum yield of 34.8%. The construction of a Z-scheme between blue TiO2 and WO3 domains with an excellent band alignment provided remarkably improved separation of photoinduced charges. Importantly, the presence of novel Ag not only produces the highest selectivity up to 100% CO production-only, but also increases the photocatalytic electron reaction rate (2333.44 μmol g−1 h−1)11sciescopu
T.K. Cureton's Tip: How the Kinesiology Department Founder and Professor at the University of Illinois Led Roger Bannister to Break the Four Minute Mile
No full textThis project investigates the events leading up to Roger Bannister???s record-breaking four minute mile in 1954. It focuses on the role of T.K. Cureton, founder of the kinesiology department and professor of physical education at the University of Illinois, who conducted research on training habits of athletic champions. On the basis of literature, internet, and archival research, the study finds that Cureton advised Bannister to train the whole body rather than sport specific areas during their meeting in London, which was the tip leading to Bannister???s record. The author further discusses the careers of these two men, the context of their meeting, and the myth of the impossible.unpublishedU of I OnlyRequested by Student

Root and arbuscular mycorrhizal effects on soil nutrient loss are modulated by soil texture
No full textAvailable online 9 June 2021Despite their importance, there is a lack of knowledge on the impact of forming arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) on soil phosphorus (P) leaching in soils with different textures. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots on P leaching in two non-sterilised soils of contrasting texture. A mycorrhiza-defective tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotype (named rmc), and its wild-type progenitor that is able to form AM (named 76R), were used to investigate the effects of AM on soil P loss via leaching. Concentrations of reactive and un-reactive P in the leachate and soil were measured and related to plant growth, plant P uptake, soil water relations and leachate dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration. Soil texture affected mycorrhizal colonization, plant growth and plant P concentration, and influenced the concentration and chemical composition of P and the concentration of DOC leached. The chemical composition of P leached and P remaining in soil varied with soil texture, the presence or absence of roots, and their arbuscular mycorrhizal status. Mycorrhizal plants reduced P lost via leaching in the sandy soil substrate, where DOC leached was also high. The roots, regardless of mycorrhizal colonization, appeared to have the greatest impact on increasing P and DOC leached. Taken together, this study provides new insights into the role of AM on soil P loss via leaching in soils of contrasting texture.Cuc T.K. Tran, Stephanie J. Watts-Williams, Ronald J.

Effects of plant roots and arbuscular mycorrhizas on soil phosphorus leaching
No full textAvailable online 10 March 2020While the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on phosphorus (P) uptake is well understood, the mechanism(s) of how these fungi affect P leaching from soil is still unclear. Here we present results of a study in which we grew a mycorrhiza-defective tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotype (named rmc) and its mycorrhizal wild-type progenitor (named 76R) in microcosms containing non-sterile soil, to examine the influence of roots and AMF on P leaching. More P was leached from the planted microcosms as compared to the plant-free controls. Further, although there was more plant biomass and greater P uptake in the mycorrhizal plant treatments, these treatments were associated with the most leaching of total P, reactive P, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). There was a strong correlation between the total P and DOC leached, suggesting that root and fungal exudates may have affected P leaching. These findings provide new insights into the impact of roots and AMF on nutrient leaching in soils.Cuc T.K. Tran, Stephanie J.Watts-Williams, Ronald J. Smernik, Timothy R. Cavagnar
