Toxicant coated grain-based baits are widely used to control rodent pests throughout the world, but where alternative food sources are available, bait acceptance and efficacy are often less than optimal. In an attempt to develop baiting strategies to increase bait acceptance and efficacy of zinc phosphide-coated baits, a sugar-enhanced rolled oat based zinc phosphide bait was evaluated. With pr...

the separation of olefin/paraffin mixtures is an important process in petrochemical industries, which is traditionally performed by low temperature distillation with a high-energy consumption, or complex extractive distillationand adsorption techniques. membrane separation process is emerging as an alternative for traditional separation processes with respect to low energy and simple operation....

Abstract We examined dietary preferences of wild pigs to discern possible bait alternatives corn. Captive trials were conducted during spring and fall 2021 in the Wild Pig Research Facility at Kerr Wildlife Management Area, Hunt, Texas, USA. 2‐choice tests by allowing feed ad libitum on soybeans, split peas, mealworms, peanuts (spring 2021), oats, acorns, earthworms, (fall always with corn avai...

Superior encapsulation technology is important for PSCs to prolong their lifetime and realize commercial application. Paraffin/EVA/paraffin composite encapsulated layers were fabricated with the ambient environment under thermal temperature of 80°C, which has advantages simple procedures low cost. paraffin/EVA/paraffin pure EVA maintained 95 45% initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) aged 10...
