Larvae of the butterfly, Battus polydamas archidamas (Papilionidae: Troidini) feed exclusively on aristolochic acid (AAs)-containing Aristolochia species (Aristolochiaceae).The distribution of sequestrated AAs in the tissues (body, integument and osmeterial secretions) of B.polydamas archidamas larvae during their development, when fed on a meridic
Reliability of Bolton analysis evaluation in tridimensional virtual models
Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the reliability of Bolton analysis in tridimensional virtual QUICK-BLAST models, comparing it with the manual method carried out with dental casts.Methods:The present investigation was performed using 56 pairs of dental casts produced from the dental arches of patients in perfect conditions and rando

Giant enhancement of nonreciprocity in gyrotropic heterostructures
Abstract Nonreciprocity is a highly desirable feature in photonic media since it allows for control over the traveling electromagnetic waves, in a way that goes far beyond ordinary filtering.One of the most conventional ways to achieve nonreciprocity is via employing gyrotropic materials; however, their time-reversal-symmetry-breaking effects are v
Promoting the Use of Okinawan by New Speakers: An Analysis of Honorific Choices in the Family Domain
Linguistic insecurity about polite registers constitutes a serious barrier for any new speakers specifically in settings between QUICK-BLAST parents and children or between married couples.Politeness might very well be the register that prevents new speakers from either learning or using their heritage language.This paper examines the current use o
