BACKGROUND:DNA barcoding enhances the prospects for species-level identifications globally using a standardized and authenticated DNA-based approach.Reference libraries comprising validated DNA barcodes (COI) constitute robust datasets for testing query sequences, providing considerable utility to identify marine fish and other organisms.Here we te
Tarantula urticating setae are modified setae located on the abdomen or pedipalps, which represent an effective defensive mechanism against vertebrate or invertebrate predators and intruders.They are also useful taxonomic tools as morphological characters facilitating the classification of New World theraphosid spiders.In the present study, the mor
Background: The growth of e-commerce necessitates efficient logistics management to address rising last-mile delivery challenges.To overcome some of the last-mile delivery costs, parcel lockers as a delivery option, can be an alternative solution.This study presents the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Delivery Options (CVRPDO), which inclu
Abstract Background A microsponge delivery system (MDS) is an innovative and unique way of delivering drugs in a structured manner.Using microsponge drug delivery, regulated drug delivery may now be achieved quickly and easily.Main body MDS comprises porous microspheres ranging in size from 5 to 300 microns, with a large porous structure campicon.c
