A dominant predator, a predator, and a prey
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2008 A two-predator, one-prey model in which one predator interferes significantly with the other predator is analyzed. The dominant predator is harvested and the other predator has an alternative food source. The response functions used are Holling type II and they are predator-dependent and include the effects of interference.

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1999 Social responses to sex-offending behaviors have included criminal sanctions and clinical interventions that have evolved over time. These developments have created various challenges for mental health professionals charged with providing care to offenders, particularly when legislative expectations have exceeded available treatments.

Landscape and farm management influence generalist predators [PDF]
, 2002 Chemical pest control is currently the dominant form of pest management against insect pests in agroecosystems, but has negative side effects. Biological control by specialist predators has been successful in greenhouses, but has not been successfully ...

Predators vs. alien: differential biotic resistance to an invasive species by two resident predators [PDF]
, 2013 The success of invading species can be restricted by interspecific interactions such as competition and predation (i.e. biotic resistance) from resident species, which may be natives or previous invaders.

Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

Studies on polyphagous predators of cereal aphids
, 1979 1. Experiments were done in fields of winter wheat at North Farm, West Sussex, and at Rothamsted in 1978 to investigate the effect of predation by carabid beetles and other polyphagous preadtors on populations of cereal aphids. 2.

Meta-analysis of the effects of predation on animal prey abundance: evidence from UK vertebrates [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Controlling vertebrate predators is one of the most widespread forms of wildlife management and it continues to cause conflict between stakeholders worldwide. It is important for managers and policy-makers to make decisions on this issue that

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We report a multifunctional tapered optical fiber integrating a conformal micro‐resistance temperature detector (µRTD) for local, real‐time thermometry during optical stimulation. The platform combines light‐delivery and temperature sensing within a minimally invasive footprint, enabling detection of sub‐degree cortical heating under representative ...
