To address the problem of off‐target movement and low bioavailability of pesticides, two anisotropic supramolecular building units (BiTA18@β‐CD and BiTA18@γ‐CD) have been invented that can self‐assemble into nano‐sized hexagonal cuboids on the rice microcrystalline matrix. This manipulation realizes the enhanced utilization of bactericides for rice and

A generalized-growth model to characterize the early ascending phase of infectious disease outbreaks [PDF]
A better characterization of the early growth dynamics of an epidemic is needed to dissect the important drivers of disease transmission. We introduce a 2-parameter generalized-growth model to characterize the ascending phase of an outbreak and capture ...

D3.1 GRAPEVINE Plagues and Diseases Models v1
The main objective of Activity 3 (Models specification and implementation) of GRAPEVINE project is to define several models for the identification of diseases and plagues, and the way to mitigate their effects. These models represent: a physical model about the behaviour and evolution of diseases / plagues, identification of the diseases / plagues in ...
