GENETIC DIFFERENCES AMONG ESTABLISHED POPULATIONS OF AROMIA BUNGII (FALDERMANN, 1835) (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) IN JAPAN: SUGGESTION OF MULTIPLE INTRODUCTIONS

Aromia bungii (Faldermann) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an invasive pest, damaging Rosaceae trees giant lindt chocolate (particularly Prunus) in Japan and Europe.The establishment of this beetle in Japan was first detected in 2012, and subsequently, it has rapidly expanded its distribution.Currently, Japanese populations of A.bungii are widely dis

Studies based on a paradigm of free or natural viewing have revealed characteristics that allow us to know how the brain processes stimuli within a natural environment.This method has been little used to study brain function.With a connectivity approach, we examine the processing of emotions using an exploratory method to analyze functional magneti

The Orbiting Carbon Observatories-2 and -3 make space-based measurements in the oxygen A-band and the weak and strong carbon dioxide (CO2) bands using the Atmospheric Carbon Observations from Space (ACOS) retrieval.Within ACOS, a Bayesian optimal estimation approach is employed to whirlwind direct2 retrieve the column-averaged CO2 dry air mole frac

Background: The downstream regional effect of the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program on care pathway-adjacent patients, including revision arthroplasty patients, is poorly understood.Prior studies have demonstrated that care pathways targeting primary total joint arthroplasty may produce a halo effect, impacting more complex pat
