Under illumination conditions, ToRed series of catalysts absorb photon energy to generate photogenerated electron–hole pairs, which catalyze the formation of hydrogen peroxide from water. Photocatalytic technology has attracted much attention in the fields of clean energy and environmental governance. However, how to design and develop highly efficient

Modeling and Optimal Control Applied to a Vector Borne Disease [PDF]
A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to Dengue disease is presented. In this model there are three vector control tools: insecticides (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control. The problem is studied using an Optimal Control (OC) approach. The human data for the model is based on the Cape Verde Dengue outbreak.

Regional adaptation of integrated pest management to control invasive forest insects
Globalization is increasing the threat of invasive forest insects to ecosystems. Control efforts against the same pest species progressively occur across distant jurisdictions as integrated pest management (IPM) programs or tactics developed in one region are adopted by another region.
