Host Plant Biochemical Influence on the Foraging and Food Utilization of Poecilocerus pictus and Danaus chrysippus on Calotropis gigantea: A Behavioral Ecology Approach

Poecilocerus pictus and Danaus chrysippus are two common herbivorous insects that share the same host plant, Calotropis gigantea, yet they exhibit distinct feeding preferences and food utilization patterns across leaf ages. D. chrysippus larvae performed better on young leaves, w...

The Immune Rheostat: A Shared Regulatory Axis Linking Cancer Immune Evasion and Autoimmune Activation

ABSTRACT Cancer and autoimmune diseases are traditionally regarded as distinct clinical entities, yet growing evidence indicates that both arise from dysregulation of shared immune‐regulatory pathways coordinating immune activation, peripheral tolerance and tissue homeostasis. Ra...

Reliability Control Chart for Time Truncated Quality Assurance Using Generalized Pareto Distribution

ABSTRACT In this study, we propose an attribute control chart to develop a time truncated life test which is able to detect the number of defectives. The control chart parameters are designed to enhance under Average run length when it is follows a Generalized Pareto distribution...

Death-Associated Protein Kinase 1 (DAPK1) Signalling at the Crossroads of Apoptosis, Autophagy, and Post-transcriptional Cascades in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Death-associated Protein Kinase-1 is a Ca2+/calmodulin- dependent serine/threonine protein kinase which controls various cellular processes and functions, including apoptosis, autophagy, and post-transcriptional processes, through multiple microRNAs. Increasing evidence suggests...
