A Multiphysics Model of Magnetically Enhanced ATP Hydrolysis in Ferromagnetic Nanosystems

This study develops a multiphysics framework for evaluating whether alternating magnetic fields (AMF) applied to Fe₃O₄ and MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles can modify ATP hydrolysis through thermal, mechanical, and ion-mediated pathways. Rather than assigning a single phenomenological magne...

Successful bark-beetle biocontrol. A review of the only case in history Releasing Rhizophagus grandis in Georgia, France, Britain and Türkiye against Dendroctonus micans

The bark beetle Dendroctonus micans (Kug.) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae), a pest of spruce and pine, probably originates from eastern Siberia. Its closest relative is the North American D. punctatus (LeConte), on the other side of the Behring Strait. D. micans has large...
