CROSS-SELECTIVITY ENHANCEMENT OF POLY(VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE-HEXAFLUOROPROPYLENE)-BASED SENSOR ARRAYS FOR DETECTING ACETONE AND ETHANOL

Cross-Selectivity Enhancement of Poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)-Based Sensor Arrays for Detecting Acetone and Ethanol

Two methods for cross-selectivity enhancement of porous poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP)/carbon black (CB) composite-based resistive sensors are provided.The sensors are tested with acetone and ethanol in the presence of humid air.Cross-selectivity is enhanced using two different methods to modify the basic response of the P

Integrated Management of European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi (L.): Situation in Switzerland and Europe

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi 3 nef runes (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest.The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.The phase-out of old insecticides threatens cherry production throughout the European Union (EU).Consequently, new management tech

Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava level II involvement: curative resection and reconstruction of renal veins

Abstract Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVCL) is a rare retroperitoneal tumor.We report two cases of level II (middle level, renal veins to hepatic veins) IVCL, who underwent en api 1608-ii bloc resection with reconstruction of bilateral or left renal venous return using prosthetic grafts.In our cases, IVCL is documented to be occluded p
