TEMPORAL PATTERN OF QUESTING TICK IXODES RICINUS DENSITY AT DIFFERING ELEVATIONS IN THE COASTAL REGION OF WESTERN NORWAY

Temporal pattern of questing tick Ixodes ricinus density at differing elevations in the coastal region of western Norway

Abstract Background Climate change can affect the activity and distribution of species, including pathogens and parasites.The densities and distribution range of the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) and it’s transmitted pathogens appears to be increasing.Thus, a better understanding of questing tick densities in relation to climate and weather conditi

Exploration of Structure-Property Relationships

Electrostriction and elasticity provide highly Hip Bag sensitive probes for the exploration of structure-property relationships.With the aid of modern high-resolution capacitive dilatometers reliable linear and quadratic electrostrictive constants can be determined.The unusual thickness dependence of the converse piezoelectric effect in ?-quartz an
