Finite element approach to trap-insect model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The trap-insect model considered in this presentation comprises a system of two advection-diffusion-reaction equations. We develop finite element approximation of the solution of the model in order to produce accurate numerical simulations using a non ...

Accuracy and Precision of Insect Density and Impact Estimates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In estimating insect density and impact, entomologists are understandably interested in accuracy of estimation, but they almost always are dealing with precision because of bias due to an invalid estimator, probability sampling, or nonsampling errors ...

Soft Electromagnetic Actuator and Oscillator

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This work presents a groundbreaking soft electromagnetic system capable of bistable actuation and self‐regulated oscillation. Using liquid metal and silicone as a compliant conductor, the actuator enables force generation, sensing, and feedback with minimal power.

RNAi Efficiency, Systemic Properties, and Novel Delivery Methods for Pest Insect Control: What We Know So Far

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
In recent years, the research on the potential of using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress crop pests has made an outstanding growth. However, given the variability of RNAi efficiency that is observed in many insects, the development of novel approaches

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...

ON LABELING INSECTS [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1901
There is a great lack of uniformity in labeling insects; owing to which it is often impossible to distinguish the name of the locality from that of the collector; and with reference to the date of capture, it is impossible to discover what is meant (when the day of capture is less than the 13th), on account of some collectors placing the day of the ...

Self‐Aligned Waveguide Array Integrated with Flat Microlenses for Environment‐Adaptive and High‐Resolution Compound Eye Vision

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
For an amphibious high‐resolution compound eye vision system, environment‐adaptive self‐aligned waveguides are integrated with high‐density flat microlenses. Fabrication, optical performance, and environmental adaptability are investigated, demonstrating stable focusing, efficient light collection, and enhanced spatial resolution.

Insulin-like and IGF-like peptides in the silkmoth Bombyx mori: discovery, structure, secretion and function.

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
A quarter of a century has passed since bombyxin, the first insulin-like peptide identified in insects, was discovered in the silkmoth Bombyx mori. During these years, bombyxin has been studied for its structure, genes, distribution, hemolymph titers ...
