Experimental study of the dielectric properties of energy-containing materials at variable temperatures.

Due to the inherent material characteristics of fireworks and negligent safety management, safety accidents have occurred in recent years, resulting in significant personal and property losses. Therefore, the status inspection of fireworks and other energy-containing materials is a hot issue in the field of energy-containing materials production, storage, transportation, and application. The dielectric constant is a parameter used to characterize the interaction between materials and electromagnetic waves.

Foraging behavior of the dead leaf butterfly, Kallima inachus.

The behavioral responses of foraging adults of Kallima inachus (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) to four colors and to six different fermented fruit juices were observed in order to determine the cues used by foraging adults. According to the results, adults did not show a behavioral response to red, yellow, purple, or white artificial flowers without food odors, but flowers with the fermented pear juice strongly attracted them, and they showed a behavioral response to fermented juices of the six fruits (pear, apple, banana, watermelon, orange, and persimmon) with no statistically significant preference. The fruit volatiles were collected using dynamic headspace adsorption, and the volatile components were analyzed by auto thermal-desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assess which volatiles existed in the fruits.
