Tropical Fowl Mite, Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Acari: Macronyssidae)
EDIS, 2005 The tropical fowl mite, commonly found on birds, has become a pest to man in areas of high bird populations or where birds are allowed to roost on roofs, around the eaves of homes, and office buildings. Nesting birds are the worst offenders.

Distributed allocation of mobile sensing swarms in gyre flows [PDF]
, 2013 We address the synthesis of distributed control policies to enable a swarm of homogeneous mobile sensors to maintain a desired spatial distribution in a geophysical flow environment, or workspace. In this article, we assume the mobile sensors (or robots)

Effects of electrojet turbulence on a magnetosphere-ionosphere simulation of a geomagnetic storm [PDF]
, 2017 Ionospheric conductance plays an important role in regulating the response of the magnetosphere‐ionosphere system to solar wind driving. Typically, models of magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling include changes to ionospheric conductance driven by extreme ...

Gender is a major factor explaining discrepancies in eye colour prediction based on HERC2/OCA2 genotype and the IrisPlex model [PDF]
, 2013 In recent years, several studies have greatly increased our understanding of the genetic basis underlying human eye colour variation. A large percentage of the eye colour diversity present in humans can already be genetically explained, so much so that ...
