A key component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in agricultural systems is ®eld monitoring for pests prior to reaching a management decision. The study objective was to quantify a common design constraint of commercial IPM sampling programs: the trade-o€ between sampling time and accuracy of the resulting pest management decision. Using consperse stink bug (Euschistus conspersus Uhler) in p...

The performance of direct torque controlled (DTC) interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines is poor at low speeds due to a few reasons, namely limited accuracy of stator voltage acquisition and the presence of offset and drift components in the acquired signals. Due to factors such as forward voltage drop across switching devices in the three phase inverter and dead-time of the devices, the volt...

The objective of the research was to analyze and find outsome factors whichinfluence IPM (Human Development Index) with Regional Expenditure as intervening variable in districts/towns North Sumatera. used causal method, data were gathered by using documentary study secondary from realization Balance Fund, PAD (Regionally Generated Revenue), BKP (Provincial Financial Aid), Expenditure, period 20...

Abstract The aim of the current study is to present numerical solutions a nonlinear second-order coupled Emden–Fowler equation by developing neuro-swarming-based computing intelligent solver. feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used for modelling, and optimization carried out local/global search competences particle swarm (PSO) aided with capability interior-point method (IPM), i....

Global concerns for environmental quality have resulted in a proliferation of fertilizer and pesticide regulations that restrict golf course management programs. The objective of this project was to investigate the long-term effects of conventional and alternative cultural and pest management programs, designed to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, on the quality and performance of golf pu...

Current bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., control usually involves insecticide applications that pose a high risk of insecticide exposure to residents and applicators. To minimize these risks and the amount of insecticides used, we designed and evaluated a dust band treatment technique. The laboratory assay showed that 1% cyfluthrin dust treated bands are highly effective in killing bed bugs. We f...

Glycoconjugates on the photoreceptor cell surfaces and in the interphotoreceptor matrix (IPM) are involved in a variety of cell functions. The O-linked glycoconjugates, seen in the filaments of IPM by electron microscopy,’ may connect the neural retina with the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in the subretinal space.’ These O-linked glycoconjugates are found on the surfaces of both cone and ro...
