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.

A symbiotic mosquito‐gut bacterium for flavivirus control [PDF]
Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) have emerged as major global public health challenges, causing numerous infections and fatalities each year. However, current measures, including vaccines and treatments, are often limited or ineffective.

Mineral acquisition from a different angle – how the root angle in cereals determines nutrient uptake [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 576-586, October 2025.Summary Plant roots are vital for absorbing soil resources and directly impact crop productivity. Because nutrients are unevenly distributed through soil layers, root system architecture (RSA) is a key trait influencing nutrient uptake. Shallow RSA can enhance access to surface nutrients, while steeper architectures help reach deeper nutrients.

Larvicidal effect of disinfectant soap on Anopheles gambiae s.s (Diptera: Culicidae) in laboratory and semifield environs [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Mosquito larval control using chemicals and biological agents is of paramount importance in vector population and disease incidence reduction. A commercial synthetic disinfectant soap was evaluated against larvae of Anopheles gambiae s.s.

On translation hyperovals in semifield planes [PDF]
Designs, Codes and Cryptography, 2023 In this paper we demonstrate the first example of a finite translation plane which does not contain a translation hyperoval, disproving a conjecture of Cherowitzo. The counterexample is a semifield plane, specifically a Generalised Twisted Field plane, of order $64$. We also relate this non-existence to the covering radius of two associated rank-metric
