This paper extends the build-operate-transfer (BOT) concession model (BOTCcM) to a new method for identifying period by using bargaining-game theory. Concession is one of most important decision variables in arranging BOT-type contract, and there are few methodologies available helping determine value this variable. The BOTCcM presents an alternative which group solutions produced. Nevertheless, typical weakness that cannot recommend specific time span concessionary. introduces called BOT...
China has a huge area of diverse landscapes and is believed to conceive incredibly high fungal diversity. To systematically promptly report Chinese species, we initiate the series Catalogue fungi in here. In first paper this series, focus on plant-inhabiting fungi. A total 33 new taxa are described all over China. These include two genera, viz. Cremeoefibula Nothopucciniastrum, 18 Annulohypoxylon lancangensis, Ascotaiwania coffeae, Clitocella neofallax, Coleopuccinia yunnanensis,...

The complex and diverse phenomenon of fungal bioluminescence has captured human curiosity. Nevertheless, in the field studies, there are not many attempts made particularly to reveal new species these interesting fungi. This study comprehensively reviews diversity, distribution, evolution, mechanisms, ecological roles, potential applications Most importantly, we also present an updated list reported bioluminescent fungi (122) so far identified from five distinct evolutionary lineages...
A new genus and species, Mirimordella gracilicruralis gen. et sp. nov., in the subfamily Praemordellinae of Mordellidae, is described illustrated based on a nearly complete fossil specimen. It from Yixian Formation western Liaoning Province, NE China. The diagnosis emended this species. Characters such as simple linear maxillary palpi, claws, penultimate segments fore middle tarsi, small hind coxal plates, slender femora, only apical ridges tibiae no elongated last tergum suggest that might...
The mystery phenomenon of fungal bioluminescence has always captivated human curiosity, although more attempts need to be made, particularly bring the new species surface. In this study, we devoted considerable space taxonomy these fungi while discussing their biogeography, evolution, mechanism, and potential ecological roles. We provide a detailed explanation how produce light, including role enzyme luciferase luciferin. also discussed applications. Here, presented an updated list 122...
The global COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has created an urgent need for novel antiviral agents, as it led to a devastating loss of lives worldwide. In response, numerous vaccines were developed in 2022, with ongoing efforts more candidates.

Abstract The genetics of adaptation to tomato in Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) were investigated reciprocal F 1 , 2 and backcross populations generated from crosses between beetles a adapted population that was poorly tomato. Larvae the parent test reared on for four days, after which survivorship larval weights recorded. Most results indicate differences growth survival are largely determined by autosomal, polygenic mechanisms, inheritance involves significant dominance component....
Woodroaches of the genus Cryptocercus are subsocial and xylophagous cockroaches, distributed in North America Asia. Studies on male chromosome number Nearctic species have shown that diploid numbers vary from 2n=37 to 2n=47; Palearctic were heretofore unknown. Two hypotheses been proposed explain varying chromosomes among species: serial reduction hypothesis, parallel scenario. We performed phylogenetic analyses COII gene these found evidence for topology (47(45(43(39,37), which is congruent...
