Sampling Methods for Shortest Vectors, Closest Vectors and Successive Minima
In this paper we introduce a new lattice problem, the subspace avoiding problem (Sap). We describe a probabilistic single exponential time algorithm for Sap for arbitrary `p norms. We also describe polynomial time reductions for four classical problems from the geometry of numbers, the shortest vector problem (Svp), the closest vector problem (Cvp), the successive minima problem (Smp), and the ...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Methods Used for Sampling Malaria Vectors in the Kilombero Valley, South Eastern Tanzania
To monitor malaria transmission, effective sampling methods for host seeking vectors are necessary. The suitability of these methods can be determined by field measurements of their trapping efficiencies. We compared the efficiencies of the Human Landing Catch (HLC), the Centers for Disease Control light trap (CDC-LT) placed next to occupied bednets and the Mbita trap for sampling Anopheles gam...
متن کاملIdentifying permethrin resistance loci in malaria vectors by genetic mapping
Identification of the major loci responsible for insecticide resistance in malaria vectors would aid the development and implementation of effective resistance management strategies, which are urgently needed to tackle the growing threat posed by resistance to the limited insecticides available for malaria control. Genome-wide association studies in the major malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, ...
متن کاملSome Ecological Aspects of Malaria Vectors in Saravan Area, Iran
Background & Aims of the Study: The aim of this study was to determine the ecology of malaria vectors in order to select the vector control masseur in the future. This study was carried out on trend of malaria cases and malaria vectors in Saravan county, Sistan & Baluchestan Province, Iran. Materials & Methods: The adult mosquitoes were collected by standard Pyrethrum space spray colle...
متن کاملFine-scale distribution modeling of avian malaria vectors in north-central Kansas.
Infectious diseases increasingly play a role in the decline of wildlife populations. Vector-borne diseases, in particular, have been implicated in mass mortality events and localized population declines are threatening some species with extinction. Transmission patterns for vector-borne diseases are influenced by the spatial distribution of vectors and are therefore not uniform across the lands...
