Ex-military strategic leaders and corporate social performance: effects and boundaries
Published 2025-09-01Get full textExmilitary strategic leaders, by whether and when they affect corporate social performance (CSP), have not been systematically explored to date. On the basis of imprinting theory, upper echelons theory, and empirical data from Chinese listed firms from 2011 to 2020, we obtain the following findings:...

Effects of Various Degrees of Antennal Ablation on Mating and Oviposition Preferences of the Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella L.
Published 2014-06-01Get full textUsing scanning electron microscopy, we investigated the distribution of the trichoid, basiconic, and coeloconic sensilla on the antennae of the diamondback moth (DBM; Plutella xylostella). The trichoid sensilla were the most abundant sensory organ, and the male moth antennae host significantly more...

Development of a sensitive and reliable droplet digital PCR assay for the detection of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’
Published 2018-02-01Get full textCitrus Huanglongbing (HLB, yellow shoot disease) is one of the most serious citrus diseases worldwide. To better improve the detection sensitivity, a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay was developed for the rapid detection of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las), the putative causal agent of HLB...

Radiomic Model Associated with Tumor Microenvironment Predicts Immunotherapy Response and Prognosis in Patients with Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Published 2025-01-01Get full textBackground: No robust biomarkers have been identified to predict the efficacy of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). We aimed to develop radiomic models using pre-immunotherapy MRI to predict the response to PD-...
