Effects of climatic changes on olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) population dynamic with respect to the efficacy of its larval parasitoid in Egyptian olive trees

Abstract Background The potential effects of two parameters of climatic change conditions (temperature and relative humidity) on the population dynamics of the olive fly across the two ecological areas in Egypt were studied.The olive trees in El-Behera Governorate are more affected by the olive fly compared to the olive trees in the orchard of El-F

Effect of electropulsing on the solidification of mould flux

The effect of electropulsing on the microstructure formation in solidification of mould flux has been investigated.Experimental characterization and image analysis reveals that the electropulsing treatment reduces 46% porosity and increases the interfacial perimeter to area ratio by 100%.The latter provides strong evidence that electric current inf
