Using GIS-based land use map for the urban-rural division (the relative ratio of population density adjusted to relatively Aedes-infested land area), we demonstrated significant independent observations of seasonal and geographical variation of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus vectors between Muang Narathiwat district (urban setting) and neighbor districts (rural setting) of Narathiwat, South...

We present a set of tools to manage Docker containers named YASTD (Yet Another Simple Tools for Docker). It has three primary purposes: to allow users to create containers remotely accessible via secure shell (SSH); to let users configure their containers and save the changes as new images; to isolate users from each other and restrict their access to the Docker features that could potentially ...

Oviposition choice is a well-studied aspect of the mosquito life cycle, and offers a potential avenue for species-specific surveillance and control. In container inhabiting mosquitoes, there has been a focus on how the components of the aquatic media determine choice, with little work on the physical characteristics of the containers themselves. We performed five experiments examining the effec...

Placing decorative content in any virtual environment is not a trivial task, as the location of even non-critical content influences player movement choices through the level, as well as the general game aesthetic. In this work we use path visibility properties to define and investigate three methods for content placement in a game level, aimed at generating shared, unique, and never seen conte...

For managing reefer containers more efficiently, it is important to optimally determine the block size and the layout of reefer containers in the early design phase. Work balances among blocks of a yard have a significant effect on the productivity of container handling activities in automated container terminals (ACTs), and thus, the productivity of the whole terminal highly depends on the lay...
