A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 202-212, January 2023., 2023 Abstract In regulatory risk assessment, surrogate species of fish, aquatic invertebrates, and primary producers are tested to assess toxicity and subsequently the risk of pesticides to freshwater biota. This study evaluates whether the standard, surrogate test species (mostly temperate in latitudinal distribution) used in many parts of the world are ...

Differential Transmission of Antiviral Drug-Resistant Chikungunya Viruses by
mSphere, 2018 The chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, mostly present in (sub)tropical regions. No antivirals are available to treat CHIKV infections.

Free flight of the mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 High speed video observations of free flying male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, the dengue and yellow fever vector, along with custom measurement methods, enable measurement of wingbeat frequency, body position and body orientation of mosquitoes during flight. We find these mosquitoes flap their wings at approximately 850 Hz.

Hematophagous insects as vectors for frog trypanosomes.
Revista de biologia tropical, 1977 De los resultados logrados al intentar infectar experimentalmente tres especies de artrópodos hematófagos (Rhodnius prolixus, Aedes aegypti y Culex pipiens) con un tripanosoma perteneciente al complejo Trypanosoma rotatorium, albergado por Hyla crepitans y Leptodactylus insularum se deduce que A.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Basic offspring number and robust feedback design for the biological control of vectors by sterile insect release technique [PDF]
arXivSterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a promising control method against insect pests and insect vectors. It consists in releasing males previously sterilized in laboratory, in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study in this paper the implementation by feedback control of SIT-based elimination campaign of Aedes mosquitoes.
