Insecticide control in a Dengue epidemics model [PDF]
, 2010 A model for the transmission of dengue disease is presented. It consists of eight mutually-exclusive compartments representing the human and vector dynamics. It also includes a control parameter (insecticide) in order to fight the mosquitoes.

Population management of cone and seed insects in spruce seed orchards [PDF]
, 2011 Seed orchards have been established in order to produce high quality seeds for reforestation and forestation. However, seed production in spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seed orchards is severely hampered by cone- and seed-feeding insects.

Insecticide ear tags numerically improve grazing cattle performance [PDF]
, 2013 Stocker cattle grazing pastures during the summer months face challenges due to horn flies, which can result in reduced weight gains and less efficient use of forages. One strategy for controlling horn flies is insecticide-impregnated ear tags. The use

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.The total synthesis of the manzamine alkaloid keramamine C (2) in its racemic form was achieved in 5 steps, with ring‐closing metathesis as the key step. The metathesis is strongly improved by an intramolecular H‐bond‐induced conformational fixation of the amide bond, inducing close proximity of the terminal double bonds in the precursor molecule.
