Female mosquito detection by means of AI techniques inside release containers in the context of a Sterile Insect Technique program [PDF]
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a biological pest control technique based on the release into the environment of sterile males of the insect species whose population is to be controlled. The entire SIT process involves mass-rearing within a biofactory, sorting of the specimens by sex, sterilization, and subsequent release of the sterile males ...

Sex-based Disparities in Brain Aging: A Focus on Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
PD is linked to faster brain aging. Sex is recognized as an important factor in PD, such that males are twice as likely as females to have the disease and have more severe symptoms and a faster progression rate. Despite previous research, there remains a significant gap in understanding the function of sex in the process of brain aging in PD patients ...

Oral flora of domestic cats in Hong Kong: Identification of antibiotic‐resistant strains
Abstract Background As the clinical outcome of bite‐associated infection is related to the oral commensals, evaluating their composition and antibiotic susceptibility pattern can provide more information for the antibiotic treatment of wound infections and increase the awareness of the multidrug‐resistant bacteria in cat oral flora. Aims This study was
