Effects of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk) on non-target nocturnal macromoths in western Newfoundland: single vs. double applications

Wijerathna, Poornima

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (Btk) is widely used in Canadian boreal forests to control outbreaks of the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana), a major insect defoliator. Although considered a selective microbial insecticide, concerns remain regarding its unintended effects on non-target Lepidoptera, part...

Influence of aging on stability, aggregation and release of micro and nano-plastics from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) macro-plastics in aquatic environments

Saliminasab, Somayeh

The widespread use of plastics has resulted in environmental accumulation and degradation into microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs), which persist and pose risks to aquatic ecosystems due to high mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity. In laboratory studies, artificial pristine nanoplastic (NP) proxies, engineer...

Automated body composition analysis of clinically acquired CT scans in pediatric oncology patients

Gu, Miao

Body composition is a key indicator of health outcomes in pediatric oncology. Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is the standard test to obtain whole-body composition, but DXA is not always available in routine pediatric care because of limited access, scheduling constraints, and clinical workflow barriers [36, 27]...
