Short and Long Range Population Dynamics of the Monarch [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
The monarch butterfly annually migrates from central Mexico to southern Canada. During recent decades, its population has been reduced due to human interaction with their habitat. We examine the effect of herbicide usage on the monarch butterfly's population by creating a system of linear and non-linear ordinary differential equations that describe the

Removal of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 4-chloro-2-methyl phenoxyacetic acid herbicides from aquatic environments by a novel polymer magnetic nanoparticles

open access: yesسلامت و محیط, 2020
Background and Objective: Increased use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in agriculture in order to increase the productivity of fertile lands has led to pollution of water resources with a variety of pollutants, including herbicides. In this study,

Voltammetric Determination of Paraquat Using Graphite Pencil Electrode Modified with Doped Polypyrrole [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Recognition and determination of paraquat (PQ) using graphite pencil electrode (GPE) modified with polypyrrole (Ppy) doped with Eriochrome blue-black B (EBB) is reported. To that end, a thin film of Ppy was deposited onto the electrode surface by electropolymerization in the presence of a functional doping ion, EBB.

Marginalization in nonlinear mixed-effects models with an application to dose-response analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Inference in hierarchical nonlinear models needs careful consideration about targeting parameters that have either a conditional or population-average interpretation. For the special case of mixed-effects nonlinear sigmoidal models we propose a method for the estimation of derived parameters with a marginal interpretation, but also maintaining the ...

Real-time Semantic Segmentation of Crop and Weed for Precision Agriculture Robots Leveraging Background Knowledge in CNNs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Precision farming robots, which target to reduce the amount of herbicides that need to be brought out in the fields, must have the ability to identify crops and weeds in real time to trigger weeding actions. In this paper, we address the problem of CNN-based semantic segmentation of crop fields separating sugar beet plants, weeds, and background solely

Diuron, hexazinone, and sulfometuron-methyl applied alone and in mixture in soils: Distribution of extractable residue, bound residue, biodegradation, and mineralization

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Biodegradation studies of herbicides applied to the soil alone and in a mixture are required since herbicides are often used in combinations to control weeds. When herbicides are applied in mixtures, interactions may affect their environmental fate. Thus,

BRTSim, a general-purpose computational solver for hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecosystem dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
This paper introduces the recent release v3.1a of BRTSim (BioReactive Transport Simulator), a general-purpose multiphase and multi-species liquid, gas and heat flow solver for reaction-advection-dispersion processes in porous and non-porous media with application in hydrology and biogeochemistry.
