Bats are hosts to a range of pathogens, which include zoonotic pathogens and conservation concern. Brock Fenton’s research on bat ecology has always balanced clear communication potential health risks associated with bats the need communicate these precisely avoid unnecessary persecution bats. Here, we integrate Brock’s work in field disease that his students collaborators consider advantages s...

The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (L.) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the key pest of sweet and sour cherries in many European countries and west Asia. It is a univoltine species of the west Palaearctic zone that undergoes obligatory pupal diapause. In this study, the development of R. cerasi pupae that were brought to an optimum temperature for postdiapause development following a l...

In this paper we try to bridge breakthroughs in quantitative sociology/econometrics pioneered during the last decades by Mac Fadden, Brock-Durlauf, Granovetter and Watts-Strogats through introducing a minimal model able to reproduce essentially all the features of social behavior highlighted by these authors. Our model relies on a pairwise Hamiltonian for decision maker interactions which natur...

The particle collection effi ciency of a prototype environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) sampler based on the use of thermophoresis is determined by optimizing the operational voltage that determines its thermal gradient. This sampler’s heating element was made of three sets of thermophoretic (TP) wires 25μm in diameter suspended across a channel cut in a printed circuit board and mounted with coll...

Zusammenfassung Während der Corona-Krise entwickelten die Mitarbeiterinnen Stadtbibliothek Weinheim eine digitale Zaubererschule. So gab es für Weinheimer Kinder trotz aller Einschränkungen einen aufregenden Sommer, Abwechslung sorgte. Alle paar Tage magische Aufgaben zu lösen, Punkte das eigene Haus gab. Am Ende konnte jedes Kind kleinen Preis gewinnen.

We derive and study a model describing passive mode locking—a set of differential equations with time delay. Unlike classical mode locking models based on the Haus master equation, this model does not assume small gain and loss per cavity round trip. Therefore, it is valid in a parameter range typical of semiconductor lasers. The limit of a slow saturable absorber is analyzed analytically. Bifu...
