The physics of wind-blown sand and dust [PDF]

Reports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2012
The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols.

The Effect of Accuracy and Uncertainty in Test Performance on Optimal Early Detection Survey Budget Allocations

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Early detection of pests at a low population prevalence is a key pillar of surveillance for plant health. A novel pest is expected to undergo exponential growth when it first occurs in a host population.

Sand flies: Basic information on the vectors of leishmaniasis and their interactions with Leishmania parasites

Communications Biology, 2022
Blood-sucking arthropods transmit a variety of human pathogens acting as disseminators of the so-called vector-borne diseases. Leishmaniasis is a spectrum of diseases caused by different Leishmania species, transmitted quasi worldwide by sand flies ...
