It was submitted by Mahima Dubey, Latesh Bisanea, and Megha Nager of Knk College of Horticulture in Mandsaur for their assignment on insect pests of vegetables, ornamentals, and spice crops.
Storage pest and its control is a topic from food storage engineering. The presentation gives clear picture about which all insects, pest that can cause damages to the food during storage and its preventive measures. It also has a brief explanation on Fumigations and Seed Coating.
Stored product insect pest:
Primary grain pests attack the whole grain. The eggs are laid inside the grain, before the larvae mature inside the grain and then chew their way out. Some of these pests include the Lesser grain borer, Granary weevil (Sitophilus granarius, the Wheat weevil) and Rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae).
Stored product insect pest Cereal grain products and other foods stored in kitchen cabinets, pantries or other areas in the home may become infested with insects or other organisms.
These food invaders are commonly referred to as "pantry pests."
Nearly all dry, stored human food products as well as dry pet food and birdseed are susceptible.
Pantry pests eat and contaminate the products, rendering them useless for consumption and can leave infested foods to crawl or fly around the house.
When this happens, they become an annoyance for many people.

This presentation contains valuable information on major insect pests of stored foods like Angoumois grain moth, Indian meal moth, Rice moth, Potato tuber moth etc.
In digital Electronics, NAND gate is a logic gate which has the output LOW if all the inputs are HIGH. For
example, if we pass only HIGH inputs to the NAND gate then its output will be LOW, otherwise if one of the
inputs is LOW the output will become HIGH.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

3. Damage
• Larble feeding causes direct damage to food stuff and non food
items.
• Beetles chewing through cardboard boxes , container,and packaging
cause indirect damage.
• Cocones are often attached to a solid substrate and in severe
infestation from large clusters.
4. Identification
• Adult-2 to 3mm , reddish brown,Rounded ,oval shape
• Head is often concealed by the pronotum.antennae of cigarette
beetles are serrated.Elytra ciggrate beetle are smooth.
• larva- older larvae are White , scarab-like ,and hairy.An arolium is
also present and extends beyond the middle of the claw on each
Tarsus.
5. Life cycle
• Adult ciggrate beetles live 2 to 4 weeks . Adult females lay as many
as 100 eggs singly on food materials .The eggs singly on foods
materials
• Egg hatch- 5 to 10 days after hatching the larvae tunnel through the
food materials, Causing destruction of the grain and contamination.
• Pupa are covered by silken cocoon
• The entire life cycle may take from 45 to 50 days
6.
7. Management
• Use of methoprene
• Sticky traps baited with the female ciggrate beetle sex pheromone,
serricorne
• A temperature of approximately 50 degree c maintained for 24 to 36
hours is needed for effective control.
9. Damage
• Only the larva causes damage . Crawling caterpillar completely web
over the surface of a heap of grain with silken threads.The adult fly
from one bin to another and spread the infestation
10.
11. Identification
• Larva is white , often tinged with green or pink ,a light –brown head
• The larva is 8-3mm in length .the adult 13-20mm in wings expanse
with a coppery lustre, eggs- whitish ovate
12. Life cycle
• Eggs singly or in clusters on near the food stuffs .The egg period 2
days to 2 week.
• The larval become full grown in 30-35days .The pupal stage lasts 4-
35days .in summer ,the life cycle is completed in 5 or 6 weeks and
there are about 4-6 generation in year
13. Management
• Sanitation-elimination and exclusion are key elements in controlling
pest populatiob of this moth
• Freezing and heating-Infested products should be kept in
tempreature of degree f .
• Heat will also kill stored products pests if temperature of 130
Degree F are maintained for 24 hours in infested facilities.
• Chemical control-numerous insecticide have been used to control
Indian meal moth population.
