A field study was made to investigate the trapping effects of different attractants, traps, and wind directions on Solenopsis invicta. The results showed that among the test attractants, TB1 (50 g fishmeal, 40 g peptone, 10 ml 10% sucrose water solution and 20 ml soybean oil) had the best effect, followed by TB2 (ham), TB6 (100 g cornmeal and 20 ml soybean oil) and TB4 (10 ml 10% sucrose water solution, 100 g sugarcane powder and 20 ml soybean oil), with a mean capture efficiency being 77.6, 58.7, 29 and 7.7 individuals per trap, respectively. No S. invicta was trapped with TB3 (10 ml 10% sucrose water solution, 100 g cornmeal and 20 ml soybean oil) and TB5 (honey). Tube trap was superior to dish trap, with a trapping efficiency of 75.2 and 35 individuals per trap, respectively. The attractants had better effects in leeward than in windward.

Rapeseed ( L.) is a major agricultural crop with diverse applications, particularly in the production of seed oil for both culinary use and biodiesel. However, its photosynthetic efficiency, a pivotal determinant of yield, remains relatively low compared with other C plants such as rice and soybean, highlighting the necessity of identifying the genetic loci and genes regulating photosynthesis in rapeseed.

Peroxidized lipids have been shown to reduce broiler performance whereupon it was theorized that dietary peroxide value (PV) plus anisidine value (AnV) may be predictive of broiler performance. In experiment (EXP) 1, 64 pens (8 broilers/pen) were fed diets containing 8 levels of peroxidized soybean oil (SO). Broilers were fed diets from 7 to 35 d of age with 8 replications per dietary treatment.

Millions of men and women suffer from alopecia, especially androgenic alopecia (AGA), which is considered the most common form of hair loss. The available treatments for hair loss include multiple approaches, with the most popular being synthetic drugs including minoxidil and finasteride, in addition to natural products. However, synthetic drugs have shown many undesirable side effects, on the contrary, the specifications of the commonly used natural drugs have not been reported in most of the previous studies, despite the high market preference for them.

This study investigates the returns-connectedness (RC) between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) funds and biofuel markets. RC analysis helps stakeholders understand the role of ESG funds in promoting biofuel transitions. Using econometric models such as the Time-Varying Parameter Vector AutoRegressive (TVP-VAR) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), we examine RC with data from January 2019 to December 2023.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored the antioxidative effects of green tea extract (GTE) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in improving the oxidation resistance of oleogel made from high oleic soybean oil.
- Adding 300 ppm of GTE notably reduced free radicals and lipid hydroperoxides, extending the lag phase of oxidation by 5 days.
- A combination of 300 ppm GTE and 75 ppm EDTA showed a synergistic effect in slowing down oxidation, and using the oleogel instead of shortening improved the oxidative stability of cookies even without added antioxidants.
