Reciprocal and homologous mating experiments between Malaysian Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes were conducted in the laboratory. Two methods were employed, namely an artificial mating technique and a natural cage mating technique. The study demonstrated there exists a strong reproductive isolation between Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Insemination occurred in cross-mating experi...

Among 7 traps tested, significantly higher (P < 0.01) mean numbers of Aedes albopictus (269) and Aedes aegypti (55) females were collected within the Mosquito Magnet Liberty trap compared with the remaining traps. The second highest mean captures for both species were obtained from omnidirectional Fay-Prince (77 Ae. albopictus) and Dragonfly (13 Ae. aegypti) traps, which were not significantly ...

AE is a serious medical condition in which the immune system attacks the brain, impairing function.&nbsp;With rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many patients recover most or all functions. However, not all patients experience full recovery; with approximately 6% mortality and other patients who&nbsp;never regain significant brain and/or bodily functions. Autoimmune encephalitis can pro...

In this work, the backward Bayesian multiple linear regression (BBMLR) as a new approach is presented to predict the adsorption efficiency (AE) of Cd(II) ions by ostrich bone char (OBC) in the fixed bed adsorption with four operational variables consisting of pH (2-9), inlet Cd(II) concentration (Co= 25-100 mg/L), bed depth (h= 3-9 cm) and feed flow rate (Q= 0.5-30 mL/min). The performance of t...

BACKGROUND Numerous reporting biases have been known to affect spontaneous reporting databases. The Weber effect, which constitutes a peak in adverse event (AE) reporting of a drug at the end of second year after regulatory approval followed by a continuous decline thereafter, has been considered an important bias for a long time. The existence of this bias in AE reporting of oncology drugs rem...
