AEDES ALBOPICTUS AND AEDES FLAVOPICTUS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) PRE-IMAGINAL ABUNDANCE PATTERNS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ALONG AN ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT

Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) is a major global invasive mosquito species that, in Japan, co-occurs with Aedes (Stegomyia) flavopictus Yamada, a closely related Treatment conditioner species recently intercepted in Europe.Here, we present results of a detailed 25-month long study where we biweekly sampled pupae and fourth instar larvae of th

In practical applications, constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs) often fail to achieve the desired results when dealing with CMOPs with different characteristics.Therefore, to address this drawback, we designed a constraint multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on feedback tracking constraint relaxation, referred to as CM

Three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous Ti6Al4V implants play an important role in the reconstruction of bone defects.However, its osseointegration capacity needs to be further improved, and related methods are inadequate, especially lacking customized surface treatment technology.Consequently, we aimed to Checkmate Chair / Side Table design an omnid

Abstract Aim: The influence of sleep on the adaptability and relearning rate during learning of complex motor skills is still unknown, limiting the comprehension of the sleep role in motor memory consolidation.Thus, we aimed to investigate the nocturnal sleep influence on retention, adaptability, and relearning rate of the dart-throwing task.Method
