Alternative RNA Splicing02:18

Alternative RNA Splicing

24.7K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Null and Alternative Hypotheses01:16

Null and Alternative Hypotheses

12.5K
The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed  the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As  a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...

Electric Generator: Alternator01:25

Electric Generator: Alternator

3.3K
Electric generators induce an emf by rotating a coil in a magnetic field. A simple alternator is an AC generator that creates electrical energy that varies sinusoidally with time. A simple alternator consists of a conducting loop that is placed inside a uniform magnetic field. The loop is connected to split rings connected to the external circuit with the help of brushes.
The magnetic flux passing through the coil varies sinusoidally as the loop rotates inside the magnetic field. This...

Alternative Sets of Equilibrium Equations01:31

Alternative Sets of Equilibrium Equations

968
When analyzing the behavior of structures, engineers often rely on the concept of equilibrium. This refers to the state where all forces and moments acting on a system balance each other, resulting in no net movement or rotation. In many cases, equilibrium can be described by a set of standard equations. However, in some situations, alternative sets of equilibrium equations must be used to describe the system's behavior accurately.
One example of such a situation can be observed in a...

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method01:24

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

575
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Environmental Science
  • Entomology

Background:

  • European Food Safety Authority identified risks of neonicotinoids to bees.
  • France banned five neonicotinoids (clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, thiacloprid) in 2016.
  • Expert assessment needed to identify alternatives for authorized neonicotinoid uses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Assess available alternatives to five banned neonicotinoids.
  • Rank alternatives based on efficacy, applicability, durability, and practicability.
  • Identify viable pest management strategies for farmers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature analysis of 152 authorized neonicotinoid uses across 120 crops and 279 pests.
  • Evaluation of 2968 case studies for alternative pest control methods.
  • Ranking of alternatives including chemical and non-chemical options.

Main Results:

  • Effective alternatives found for 96% of neonicotinoid uses.
  • Other chemical insecticides (pyrethroids) were the most common alternative (89%).
  • Non-chemical alternatives (microorganisms, semiochemicals) were viable in 78% of cases, particularly for leaf/flower feeders.

Conclusions:

  • Non-chemical alternatives to neonicotinoids exist and are relevant for specific pest types.
  • Further field studies are required for many promising non-chemical methods.
  • Policy and funding are needed to promote non-chemical alternatives and reduce overall pesticide use.
