Remote-Controlled Monitoring of Flying Pests with an Electrostatic Insect Capturing Apparatus Carried by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

open access: yesAgriculture, 2021
The purpose of the study was to construct an electrostatic insect-capturing apparatus that could be applied to a drone (quadcopter). For this purpose, a double-charged dipolar electric field screen (DD-screen) was constructed using oppositely charged ...

Body Water-Mediated Conductivity Actualizes the Insect-Control Functions of Electric Fields in Houseflies

open access: yesInsects, 2020
In the present study, the relationship between body water loss and conductivity was examined in adult houseflies (Musca domestica). The events an insect experiences in an electric field are caused by the conductive nature of the insect body (i.e ...

Bulk chemical composition contrast from attractive forces in AFM force spectroscopy

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2021
A key application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) is the measurement of physical properties at sub-micrometer resolution. Methods such as force–distance curves (FDCs) or dynamic variants (such as intermodulation AFM (ImAFM)) are able to measure ...

Modeling of Attractive Force by Magnetic Wheel Used for Mobile Robot

open access: yesActuators, 2020
Mobile robots that are required to climb inclined ferromagnetic surfaces typically employ magnetic wheels. In order to design magnetic wheels and to properly size the permanent magnet as magnetizing source without the need for finite element analyses, a ...

α′-corrections to near extremal dyonic strings and weak gravity conjecture

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We construct non-extremal dyonic string solutions in 6D minimal supergravity where the leading higher derivative corrections arise from either the type IIA string theory compactified on K3 or the heterotic string theory compactified on 4-torus.
