Mass Rearing Techniques of Green Lacewings Chrysoperla carnea Stephens – A Review
Abstract: Chrysoperla carnea is a cosmopolitan polyphagous predator feeding on soft bodies insects like aphids and other phytophagous arthropods. Commercially, it is available as individual stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult and mixed stages. The mass rearing techniques must be developed underlying the criteria of cost-effectiveness and biological efficiency. The mass-rearing of the predator can be done in following steps: rearing the adults of C. carnea, Rearing of Hosts and larval rearing. …

Rising Temperatures and Surface Mass Loss in Greenland: Implications for Regional Glacier Dynamics and Global Sea Level Rise
Abstract: In Greenland, the ice sheet serves as one of the strongest indicators of global climate change, with consistently rising temperatures driving it toward an even more negative mass balance. Over the last two decades, warmer conditions have exacerbated surface melting, darkened ice, and resulted in feedback stimulating further loss. This study assesses how those temperature trends—particularly during summer peak months—have impacted the stability of Greenland's ice, and then, more importantly, …

Development of an Intelligent and Statistical Model for Prediction of Rock Mass Deformation Modulus
Abstract: The rock mass deformation modulus (Em) takes into account the plastic and the elastic deformation of the rock mass. It has been widely used for designing structures such as dams, tunnels, caverns, and mines, etc. Since the tests available for ascertaining Em are expensive and time consuming, several equations were suggested in the past. However, it has been found that the existing models are limited to specific type of rock …
