Giant Bark Aphid, Longistigma caryae (Harris) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aphididae) by Harold A. Denmark

“… This bark-feeding aphid was first described by Harris (1841) as Aphis caryae from pignut hickory, Carya glabra (= porcina) (Mill.) Sweet, in Massachusetts. It is the largest aphid that occurs in the United States, and it was probably this species that was reported by Thomas (1879) from limbs of pignut hickory in Illinois. …”

ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF <i> LINUM USITATISSIMUM </i> L. by S. N. Kutuzova, E. A. Porokhovinova, G. I. Pendinen

“…On the basis of the similarity of morphological features, and the ability to cross with each other and with the species L. angustifolium and L. usitatissimum ssp. bienne (Mill.) Stankev. with viable progeny, it was suggested that L. angustifolium had been the ancestor of Colchian flax, from which the linseed, intermediate and finally fibre forms consequentially evolved. …”

Influence of mechanical activation and heat treatment on magnetic properties of nanostructured mixture Ni85.8Fe10.6Cu2.2W1.4 by Vasić M.M., Kalezić-Glišović A.S., Milinčić R., Radović Lj., Minić D.M., Maričić A.M., Minić D.M.

“…The microstructural changes, which include the structural relaxation, decrease in free volume, density of dislocation and microstrain, improve structural characteristics of material, enabling better mobility of walls of magnetic domains and their better orientation in applied magnetic field and consequently enabling better mass magnetization of the material. With longer time of milling, the growing stress introduced in the sample undergoes easier relief, relocating stress-relieving processes toward lower temperatures.…”
