Epidemic Percolation Networks, Epidemic Outcomes, and Interventions
Epidemic percolation networks (EPNs) are directed random networks that can be used to analyze stochastic “Susceptible-Infectious-Removed” (SIR) and “Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed” (SEIR) epidemic models, unifying and generalizing previous uses ...

Odors and Genetic Pathways Influencing Resource-Seeking in EPNs and Free-Living Nematodes [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect-killing parasitic worms that are utilized in agriculture and home-garden use against a variety of insect pests. It is the infective juvenile stage (IJ) of the EPN life cycle responsible for locating, infecting

Political Cycles, Electricity Policy, and Mexico's Economy
ABSTRACT Electricity reform in Mexico should stimulate economic growth, improve energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This article evaluates the successes and failures of reform and draws lessons across political cycles by analyzing changes in political dynamics—often tied to policy reversals—and the legal framework during the pro ...

An Elite Haplotype of Nitrogen‐Use‐Efficiency Gene LHT5 Enhances Salt Tolerance in Rice
ABSTRACT Amino acids serve as fundamental building blocks and signalling molecules in plants, orchestrating stress adaptation mechanisms against diverse biotic and abiotic environmental challenges. However, the mechanism by which plants alter their nutrient metabolism processes to coordinate nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and salt tolerance remains ...

Standardization of Formulation and Application Approaches for Field Implementation of EPNs
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) live parasitically inside the infected insect host, and so they are termed as endoparasitic. They infect different types of insect living in the soil like the larval forms of moths, butterflies and beetles as well ...
