Real-time indoor radon exposure in the city of Zacatecas, Mexico [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2002
222Rn and its daughter elements are considered dangerous for health. Exposure was measured to find the radon reference levels in Zacatecas. Indoor levels were measured since June 2000 until June 2001. RM-60 and RM-70 Geiger Muller-based systems were used

Temperature‐ and Light‐Regulated Liquid Crystal Smart Window for Dynamic Control of Daylight and Solar Heat in All‐Weather Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An environmentally adaptive smart window based on the interplay of light‐driven molecular motors and liquid crystal (LC) polymers is developed. The window can dynamically switch among three distinct working states: transparent, reflective, and scattering, depending on ambient temperature and solar light intensity, enabling excellent modulation of ...

PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF RABBIT DOES TO Synertox® SUPPLEMENTATION UNDER DIFFERENT HOUSING CONDITIONS DURING SUMMER IN EGYPT [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Rabbit Science, 2017
A total number of 24 mature New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits, was used in this work to determine some physiological reactions of rabbit does as affected by housing system (indoors versus outdoors housing) during Egyptian summer season conditions. Also, to

Assessment of the Suna trap for sampling mosquitoes indoors and outdoors

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Entomological monitoring is important for public health because it provides data on the distribution, abundance and host-seeking behaviour of disease vectors.

Effects of vegetation densities on the performance of attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) for malaria vector control: a semi-field study

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) control sugar-feeding mosquitoes with oral toxicants, and may effectively complement core malaria interventions, such as insecticide-treated nets even where pyrethroid-resistance is widespread.

Using a miniaturized double-net trap (DN-Mini) to assess relationships between indoor–outdoor biting preferences and physiological ages of two malaria vectors, Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Effective malaria surveillance requires detailed assessments of mosquitoes biting indoors, where interventions such as insecticide-treated nets work best, and outdoors, where other interventions may be required.

Comparison of intake and digestibility of fresh Digitaria decumbens grass fed to sheep, indoors or at pasture, at two different stages of regrowth

Animal, 2012
The effect of two feeding systems (indoors and at pasture) on intake and digestion of fresh grass was studied at two stages of regrowth (21 and 35 days of regrowth) in two parallel experiments. In Experiment 1, 10 adult Martinik rams weighing, on average,

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
