POTENTIAL OF FIVE NON-SPORE-FORMING BACTERIA, ORIGINATED FROM THE EUROPEAN COCKCHAFER, MELOLONTHA MELOLONTHA (LINNAEUS, 1758) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE), ON THREE ECONOMIC INSECT PESTS

Potential of five non-spore-forming bacteria, originated from the European cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), on three economic insect pests

Abstract Five non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from the European cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).Their potential was tested against the three economic insect pests, the great spruce bark beetle, Dendroctonus micans Kugelann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the pine processionary, Thaumetopoea pityoc

Fatigue behavior of adhesive joints under modes I and II fracture in carbon-epoxy composites, influence of exposure time in a saline environment

This work investigates the fatigue crack growth behavior of adhesive joints under pure modes I and II within epoxy matrix composites reinforced with unidirectional carbon fibers.Experimental tests are made using Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and End-Notched Flexure (ENF) setups for modes Raw Vitamins I and II respectively, considering exposure perio
