Dry-ice trap collection of mosquitoes at urban areas surrounding Tokyo, Japan in 2003 and 2004

Minimized Energy, Water and Transport Utilization in Urban areas: - A cage study of Musashino city, Tokyo Japan-

This paper presents the possibilities of minimizing the energy and water demand in urban areas by introducing technical changes, such as more efficient technology and local supply systems. In order to examine the effects of solutions, Musashino city, Olleof the cities in Tokyo, Japan, is used as a cage study. Urban cities, in which most of human societies exist, have developed drastically durin...

Environmental requirement of living in dry areas: developing climate-based architecture and an urban development planning model in Qom, Iran

Environmental factors are being increasingly taken into account in the increasing development of urbanization and citizen residential requirements. Climate and climate conditions are among the environmental factors that have always influenced human welfare. Climate has always been incorporated in old urban structures in Iran and can be easily observed. Despite the importance of climate-related ...

249 - 251 A comparative study

Adult mosquito collections were conducted for 12 weeks in two residential areas in Kuala Lumpur. The CDC light traps were compared using dry ice and yeast as sources of carbon dioxide attractants for mosquitoes. The efficacy of the dry ice baited trap was significant over yeast generated CO2 trap. The predominant species obtained were Culex quinquefasciatus, Stegomyia albopicta and Armigeres su...

Time trends of perfluorinated compounds from the sediment core of Tokyo Bay, Japan (1950s-2004).

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) were detected in sediment core samples collected in Tokyo Bay to reveal their time trends. The core sample deposited during 1950s-2004 was divided into two- to three-year intervals and the concentrations of 24 types of PFCs were determined. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) decreased gradually from the early 1990s and its precursor decreased rapidly in the late 19...
