Venoms were collected from two scorpion species: Parabuthus leiosoma and Parabuthus pallidus from Kenya. Subcutaneous injection and oral toxicity tests of crude and pure fractions of scorpion venoms were done in Mus musculus (mice), Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca. The highest activity against C.

They show the highest quality factors for GaAs photonic crystal cavities to date, exhibiting quality factors higher than 10(5). The resonances of these cavities were fine-tuned in steps smaller than 2 nm by digital etching.
