An extra-domiciliary method of delivering entomopathogenic fungus, Metharizium anisopliae IP 46 for controlling adult populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis. [PDF]
, 2010 : Fungal biopesticides have the potential to significantly reduce densities of malaria vectors as well as associated malaria transmission. In previous field trials, entomopathogenic fungus was delivered from within human dwellings, where its efficacy was

Odorant Concentration Differentiator for Intermittent Olfactory Signals [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 Animals need to discriminate differences in spatiotemporally distributed sensory signals in terms of quality as well as quantity for generating adaptive behavior. Olfactory signals characterized by odor identity and concentration are intermittently distributed in the environment.

Determination of Odor Air Quality Index (OAQII) Using Gas Sensor Matrix
Molecules, 2022 This article presents a new way to determine odor nuisance based on the proposed odor air quality index (OAQII), using an instrumental method. This indicator relates the most important odor features, such as intensity, hedonic tone and odor concentration.

A circuit supporting concentration-invariant odor perception in Drosophila [PDF]
Journal of Biology, 2009 Abstract Background Most odors are perceived to have the same quality over a large concentration range, but the neural mechanisms that permit concentration-invariant olfactory perception are unknown.

Exploring olfactory sensory networks: Simulations and hardware emulation [PDF]
, 2010 Olfactory stimuli are represented in a highdimensional space by neural networks of the olfactory system. A great deal of research in olfaction has focused on this representation within the first processing stage, the olfactory bulb (vertebrates) or ...
