Nematode control remains to be an important challenge in agricultural and health industries, thereby new, efficient and preferably natural ways to engage them are required. Dactylellina haptotyla, a nematode-trapping fungus, forms infection structures called knobs to capture, paralyze and subsequently kill nematodes. In this study, genes involved in the secondary metabolism (SM) were investigated
The objective of the degree project was to assess the average thermal transmittance and the climate impact of the façade. The studied prefabricated façade panels were the aluminium frame one, the insulated concrete sandwich and the wooden frame panel. The research approach consisted of five steps: the physical and thermal requirement of the panel was established; then the initial U-Value of each p
Misinformation is a major global issue and presents major negative impacts on many aspects of our lives. One of the factors facilitating misinformation belief is the illusory truth effect, the phenomenon of how repeated exposure to information can increase subjective truth. This occurs when processing fluency, caused by repeated exposure to an item, is misattributed to the truth status of an item.
