Automorphic forms and fermion masses

Abstract We extend the framework of modular invariant supersymmetric theories to encompass invariance under more general discrete groups ?, that allow the presence of several moduli and make connection with the theory of automorphic forms.Moduli span a coset space G/K, where G is a Lie group and K is a compact subgroup of G, modded out by ?.For a g

The Demand for New Antibiotics: Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanoparticles, and Combinatorial Therapies as Future Strategies in Antibacterial Agent Design

The inappropriate use of antibiotics and an inadequate control of infections have led to the emergence of resistant Toddler Bottoms strains which represent a major threat to public health and the global economy.Therefore, research and development of a new generation of antimicrobials to mitigate the spread of antibiotic resistance has become impera

Effects of imidacloprid and thiamethoxam as seed treatments on the early seedling characteristics and aphid-resistance of oilseed rape

Seed treatments with the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid and thiamethoxam were evaluated to determine whether the chemicals at effective concentrations for aphid control would influence the germination and early growth of oilseed rape, Brassica napus.Treatment with imidacloprid or thiamethoxam did not affect the cumulative germination rate,
