Photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), a dynamic light-scattering technique for particle size measurement, was used to determine the coagulation rates of aqueous dispersions of relatively monodisperse South Carolina Peerless kaolinite, Silver Hill, Montana, illite, Wyoming montmorillonite, and Florida palygorskite. This technique allows quantitative measurement of the rate of coagulation for clay particles where the traditional turbidity method gives only a qualitative measure. The critical coagulation concentrations for KCl at pH = 10.0 were: 0.199 M for kaolinite, 0.202 M for illite, 0.290 M for montmorillonite, and 0.034 M for palygorskite. The effective Hamaker constants, calculated using Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory, were: 3.1 × 10−20 J for kaolinite, 2.5 × 10−20 J for illite, 2.2 × 10−20 J for montmorillonite, and 1.63 × 10−19 J for palygorskite. Stern potentials at the critical coagulation concentration at pH 10.0 were: −42.7 mV for kaolinite, −40.7 mV for illite,‒21.2 mV for montmorillonite, and −66.9 mV for palygorskite.

Pheromone trap capture of feral male Oriental fruit moths was highly correlated with capture of males emerging from ground litter in the spring of 1977 and 1978. The correlation between pheromone trap capture of males and female emergence was also good in 1978 but poor in 1977. It is concluded that pheromone monitoring traps are an accurate measure of the actual spring adult emergence pattern of this species.

Summary
Introduction
Many kinds of insects rely on sex pheromones to locate mates, with attraction often occurring over distances of ten meters or more. The prospect of achieving direct population control of insect pests by applying synthetic copies of these attractants to a crop has long intrigued entomologists and chemists. Because odor communication is mediated by miniscule quantities of pheromone, it was imagined that application of relatively small amounts of synthetic pheromone, perhaps a fraction of a gram of pheromone per ha per day, would readily interfere with mate location by “confusing” the responders. But testing the feasibility of mating disruption requires synthetic copies of these chemical messages, and it was not until the late 1960s and early 1970s that advances in techniques for characterizing pheromone structures facilitated the identification of the pheromones of many of the world's most damaging pest insects. The availability of synthetic pheromones in turn enabled field testing of this method of pest control, beginning with Gaston et al. (1967).
Female-emitted pheromones that induce mate-location behaviors in males are now known for hundreds of moth species (Arn et al., 2000), and for insects in many other groups (Mayer and MacLaughlin, 1991). Although some moth species have pheromones consisting of a single compound, most moth pheromones are blends of two to four components. The majority of compounds utilized are unbranched alkyl chains, 10 to 18 carbons in length, most always with an even number of carbons, one or two double bonds, and with a terminal acetate, alcohol, or aldehyde moiety.

Chemical signals mediate all aspects of insects' lives and their ecological interactions. The discipline of chemical ecology seeks to unravel these interactions by identifying and defining the chemicals involved, and documenting how perception of these chemical mediators modifies behaviour and ultimately reproductive success. Chapters in this 2004 volume consider how plants use chemicals to defend themselves from insect herbivores; the complexity of floral odors that mediate insect pollination; tritrophic interactions of plants, herbivores, and parasitoids and the chemical cues that parasitoids use to find their herbivore hosts; the semiochemically mediated behaviours of mites; pheromone communication in spiders and cockroaches; the ecological dependency of tiger moths on the chemistry of their host-plants; and the selective forces that shape the pheromone communication channel of moths. The volume presents descriptions of the chemicals involved, the effects of semiochemically mediated interactions on reproductive success, and the evolutionary pathways that have shaped the chemical ecology of arthropods.

Summary
Introduction
Moths are among the most speciose of insect groups, comprising perhaps 140 000 species, despite their remarkably undiversified and almost exclusively phytophagous larval lifestyle. Among the factors that are likely to have promoted such speciose success is their ability to persist at relatively low densities, facilitated by a pheromone communication system that allows males to locate conspecific females over distances of tens and in some species perhaps thousands of meters. The pheromone communication system also serves a primary basis of premating (prezygotic) reproductive isolation among species. Chemical communication channels that are distinctive at the species level permit the co-existence of many species in the same habitat or region. Although there is no firm evidence yet that the process of speciation itself has been fostered by splitting of the pheromone channel in sympatry, there are saltational mechanisms that could account for a rapid shift in the compounds produced by the emitter and a parallel tracking shift in the responder. There also are a few cases which suggest that either reinforcement or communication interference has caused divergence of chemical channels. Nonetheless, how changes in these communication systems evolve remains largely speculative. We also have no explanation for why in some species the female's production of a pheromone blend is variable and in others highly canalized.
Long-distance mate location that is mediated by pheromones is true “communication” as defined by Burghardt (1970), in that there are selective constraints on both the females' production of the signal and the males' response – in other words, selection favors some individuals over others in finding a mate.

SiC MESFET's have shown an RF power density of 4.6 W/mm at 3.5 GHz and a power added efficiency of 60% with 3 W/mm at 800 MHz, demonstrating that SiC devices are capable of very high power densities and high efficiencies. Single devices with 48 mm of gate periphery were mounted in a hybrid circuit and achieved a maximum RF power of 80 watts CW at 3.1 GHz with 38% PAE.

Monodisperse and spherical titania powders were prepared by the hydrolysis of titanium tetraethoxide in ethanol with hydroxy-propyl cellulose(HPC) present during particle precipitation. The mean particle size decreased as the concentration of tLPC increased. The critical concentration of HPC for the in situ stabilization of titania powder suspensions was determined by a photographic method, and found to be independent of the molecular weight of HPC within the molecular range of 60,000 to 300,000. The amount of HPC adsorbed on the particle surface, determined by a colorimetric method using a UV-visible spectrophotometer, decreased with the increasing molecular weight of HPC. Suspension stability was confirmed by theoretical calculations based on experimental results.
