Background: Attractive Toxic Sugar Baits (ATSBs) are an innovative vector control strategy based on the “attract-and-kill” principle. The core of ATSBs lies in the preparation of attractive and toxic baits through the mixing and proportio...

Mosquito abatement programs contend with mosquito-borne diseases, insecticidal resistance, and environmental impacts to non-target organisms. However, chemical resources are limited to a few chemical classes with similar modes of action, which has le...
Attractive Toxic Sugar Baits (ATSB) deployed outdoors are likely to be particularly effective against outdoor biting mosquitoes and, if they contain insecticides with a different mode of action, mosquitoes resistant to pyrethroids. One such ATSB base...
Concerns for widespread insecticide resistance and the unintended impacts of insecticides on nontarget organisms have generated a pressing need for mosquito control innovations. A yeast RNAi-based insecticide that targets a conserved site in mosquito...
Arthropod control mechanisms are a vital part of public health measures around the world as many insect species serve as vectors for devastating human diseases. Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) is a widely distributed, medically important mosquito spec...
Due to the limitations of the human therapeutics and vaccines available to treat and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, the primary strategy for disease mitigation is through vector control. However, the current tools and approaches used for mosquito c...
This study presents a comparative analysis of four topic modeling techniques —Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (pLSA), and Non-negative Mat...
Mosquitoes, as disease vectors causing global morbidity and mortality through diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika, necessitate mosquito population control methods. This study investigated the efficacy of nano-formulated insecticide-based sugar ba...
Attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) exploit mosquito sugar-feeding as a control strategy, but their use has been hindered by non-target (pollinator) exposure, environmental degradation, and the difficulties of selectively administering toxicants to m...
Spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), are invasive vinegar flies of East Asian origin that are an increasingly global threat to the small fruit industry. It is essential that new classes of eco-friendly insectici...
Background/Objectives: Radicular cysts (RCs) in the maxillary anterior aesthetic zone can cause substantial buccal bone loss and complicate implant rehabilitation. This retrospective case series evaluated autogenous tooth sticky bone (ATSB) from impa...
An Al2O3 thin film has been grown by vapor deposition using different Al precursors. The most commonly used precursor is trimethylaluminum, which is highly reactive and pyrophoric. In the purpose of searching for a more ideal Al source, the non-pyrop...
Eco-friendly new mosquito control innovations are critical for the ongoing success of global mosquito control programs. In this study, Sh.463_56.10R, a robust RNA interference (RNAi) yeast insecticide strain that is suitable for scaled fermentation,...
Silica-based membranes prepared by chemical vapor deposition of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) on γ-alumina overlayers are known to be effective for hydrogen separation and are attractive for membrane reactor applications for hydrogen-producing...
Maritime accidents are significant obstacles to the development of shipping industries. Their consequences are another important issue because they often involve significant economic losses and human casualties. Accident consequences do not occur ran...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated success across various industries; however, its adoption in aviation remains limited due to concerns regarding the interpretability of AI models, which often function as black box systems with opaque deci...
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease of global concern, transmitted by sand flies of the genera Lutzomyia and Phlebotomus. Attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSBs) have emerged as a promising alternative for vector control, leveraging the sugar-feedin...
Aviation safety remains a critical area of research, requiring accurate and efficient classification of incident reports to enhance risk assessment and accident prevention strategies. This study evaluates the performance of three deep learning models...
The phenomenon of encountering instrument meteorological conditions (IMCs) while operating an aircraft under visual flight rules (VFRs) remains a primary area of concern. Studies have established that pilots operating under VFRs that continue to oper...
