Semi-field and surveillance data define the natural diapause timeline for Culex pipiens across the United States [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 The combination of laboratory and semifield experiments, paired with surveillance data, demonstrate the natural timeline for mosquito diapause, highlighting the importance of latitude and population genetics.

Scalable camera traps for measuring the attractiveness of sugar baits for controlling malaria and dengue vectors [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are promising new interventions that can complement existing vector control tools. However, reproducible and quantitative information on the level of attractiveness of ATSBs under field conditions is ...

The Rényi Entropies Operate in Positive Semifields [PDF]
Entropy, 2019 We set out to demonstrate that the Rényi entropies are better thought of as operating in a type of non-linear semiring called a positive semifield.

Semifield Evaluation of Improved Passive Outdoor Host Seeking Device (POHD) for Outdoor Control of Anopheles arabiensis Mosquitoes [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2020 Despite the considerable progress made so far, the effectiveness and mass application of odour-baited outdoor mosquito control devices in pipelines is limited by several factors.

2-elements in an Autotopism Group of a Semifield Projective Plane
Известия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика", 2022 We investigate the well-known hypothesis of D.R. Hughes that the full collineation group of non-Desarguesian semifield projective plane of a finite order is solvable (the question 11.76 in Kourovka notebook was written down by N.D. Podufalov). The spread

Semi-Extraspecial Groups with an Abelian Subgroup of Maximal Possible Order [PDF]
Advances in Group Theory and Applications, 2018 Let p be a prime. A finite p-group G is defined to be semi-extraspecial if for every maximal subgroup N in Z(G) the quotient G/N is a an extraspecial group. In addition, we say that G is ultraspecial if G is semi-extraspecial and |G : G′| = |G′|^2.
