Manual sampling of insects in stored grain is a laborious and time-consuming process. Automation of grain sampling should help to increase the adoption of stored grain integrated pest management. A new commercial electronic grain probe trap (OPI Insector) has recently been marketed. We field tested OPI Insector electronic grain probes in two bins, each containing 32.6 tonnes of wheat, Triticum ...

A computer-based Spoken Spanish Test (SST) was developed to provide an accurate and convenient assessment of speaking and listening for learners of Spanish. The SST is intended to measure a candidate’s receptive familiarity with a variety of forms of Spanish and the candidate’s facility in speaking Spanish. The SST test takes between 15 and 20 minutes to complete, all the items are presented in...

Spraying of organophosphorus insecticides (OPI) using high volume technique may result in poisoning cases among farmers or inhabitants in the spraying zone. This study reported a case among farmers in Gaza Strip, Palestine and discussed the follow up treatments. Results showed sever fasciculation of tongue and all muscle, pinpoint pupils not reacting to light, losing consciousness and disorient...

BACKGROUND The study was conducted to investigate clinical and computed tomography (CT) features in Chinese lung cancer patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). METHODS Forty consecutive lung cancer patients with HIV were included. Clinical data were collected, and CT features were reviewed and measured. The factors associated with stages of cancer and the CT features with opportunis...

In nonlinear voter models the transitions between two states depend in a nonlinear manner on the frequen ies of these states in the neighborhood. We investigate the role of these nonlinearities on the global out ome of the dynami s for a homogeneous network where ea h node is onne ted to m = 4 neighbors. The paper unfolds in two dire tions. We rst develop a general sto hasti framework for frequ...

Considered as the main stream of hydrographic network Mactaa’s basin, in west highlands Algeria, both wadis, Mekerra and Saïda, are affected by pollution which is generated anthropogenic activities. Makara Saïda wadis cross urban areas Sidi-Bel-Abbes respectively, constitute a real problem human safety. In order to identify state on these samples have been collected during three periods time (J...

Although plant expression systems used for production of therapeutic proteins have the advantage of being scalable at a low price, the downstream processing necessary to obtain pure therapeutic molecules is as expensive as for the traditional Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) platforms. However, when edible plant tissues (EPTs) are used, there is no need for exhaustive purification, because they can ...

An overview of experimental transport studies performed on the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project (RTP) using transient transport techniques in both Ohmic and ECH dominated plasmas is presented. Modulated Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) and oblique pellet injection (OPI) have been used to induce electron temperature (Te) perturbations at different radial locations. These were used to probe the electro...
