BackgroundThe main constraint to the fight against container-breeding mosquito vectors of human arboviruses is the difficulty in targeting the multiplicity of larval sources, mostly represented by small man-made water containers.The aim of this work is to assess the feasibility of the "auto-dissemination" approach, already tested for Aedes aegypti,
Introduction: DNA genotyping from plasma is a useful tool for molecular characterization of NSCLC.Nevertheless, the false-negative rate justifies the development of methods with higher sensitivity, especially in difficult-to-reach peripheral lung tumors.Methods: We aimed at comparing molecular analysis from the supernatant of guide sheath flush flu
Graphene-based devices have important applications attributed to their superior performance and flexible tunability in practice.In this 888392607638 paper, a new kind of absorber with monolayer graphene sandwiched between two layers of dielectric rings is proposed.Two peaks with almost complete absorption are realized.The mechanism is that the doub
The efficiency of vector-valued intensity measures for predicting the seismic demand in gravity dams is investigated.The Folsom gravity dam-reservoir coupled system is selected and numerically analyzed under a set of two-hundred actual ground motions.First, the well-defined scalar IMs are separately investigated, and then they are coupled to form t
Destruction of the Gunung Leuser National Park area of North Sumatera Province through land clearing and land cover change from natural forest to agricultural land.Less attention to land use and ecosystem carrying capacity of the soil can cause soil degradation and destruction of flora, fauna, and wildlife habitat destruction.Environmental damage w
