Leishmaniasis: new approaches to disease control.

New Approaches to Control Education

In this paper, we describe recent developments in theory and computational aids that signal a new approach to a design oriented control education curriculum at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The main features of this approach are: a) Analytical results developed for low order controllers such as Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and lead/lag controllers which account for 99% o...

Molecular approaches to disease control.

Recent advances in molecular biology, genomics, and immunology are revolutionizing our approach to managing infectious diseases of humans, livestock, and poultry. One of the most interesting additions to the armamentarium of research focusing on controlling infectious diseases has been a better understanding of how the host's innate immune system recognizes "danger" signals. Additionally, there...

New Approaches to Analyze Gasoline Rationing

In this paper, the relation among factors in the road transportation sector from March, 2005 to March, 2011 is analyzed. Most of the previous studies have economical point of view on gasoline consumption. Here, a new approach is proposed in which different data mining techniques are used to extract meaningful relations between the aforementioned factors. The main and dependent factor is gasolin...

New Approaches to Control Walnut Blight

Research this year in the laboratory and field continued to show that the bactericidal action of copper compounds could be greatly increased by amending them with iron. There are at least three different mechanisms which cause the increased efficacy: 1) When soluble iron is added to fixed coppers at amounts ranging from 10 to 100 ppm, the ferric iron interacts synergistically with the copper io...
