Melaleuca Snout Beetle, Melaleuca Weevil (unofficial common names), Oxyops vitiosa (Pascoe) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by James P. Cuda, Susan A. Wineriter, Gary R. Buckingham, Ted D. Center, Kenneth T. Gioeli

“…Melaleuca, also known as the paper bark tree, cajeput, punk tree, or white bottlebrush tree, was introduced into Florida in the late 19th century but apparently failed to naturalize until 1906. It was planted extensively as an ornamental, and eventually invaded suitable forested and non-forested wetland habitats in south Florida forming dense monocultures. …”

Assumptions vs the reality – a case study on developing writing in a foreign language at the level of early school education in Poland and Lithuania by Paula Budzyńska, Gerda Mazlaveckiene

An Investigation into the Variability of Luminous Blue Variable Stars with TESS by Becca Spejcher, Noel D. Richardson, Herbert Pablo, Marina Beltran, Payton Butler, Eddie Avila

“…We analyze the Fourier properties of the stellar light curves to determine their characteristic frequencies and red noise amplitudes, comparing them to mass-loss parameters through H α strength, and in the case of the LMC stars, B  −  V color and luminosity as estimated by their apparent g magnitudes. We confirm the absence of correlation between any of the Fourier parameters and stellar parameters, implying that there is no trend in how these stars vary as measured with these photometric data, which may point toward these stars being an extension to the supergiant α Cygni variables and not a unique class of object with regards to their short-term variations.…”

From source to sink: the path to efficient energy harvesting with LEDs and displays by Andrea De Iacovo, Gaetano Assanto, Lorenzo Colace

“…This similarity suggests to exploit LEDs in photovoltaic mode to be operated for harvesting energy from light in the environment. Despite the apparent simplicity of this approach, only a few examples to this extent are available in literature and several technical aspects of the corresponding implementation of LEDs as energy harvesters remain unexplored. …”
