Vectorized optoelectronic control
2020 Photonics North (PN), 2020We demonstrate coherent control in a semiconductor using vector laser beams and laser beams tailored with spatial light modulators. We spatially map the resulting current vector distribution using optoelectronic detection.

Vector control: Discovery of Wolbachia in malaria vectors
Current Biology, 2021Wolbachia bacteria are being widely released for suppression of dengue transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Walker, Quek, Jeffries and colleagues present robust evidence for natural Wolbachia infections in malaria-vectoring Anopheles mosquitoes, paving the way for new Wolbachia-based interventions.

Robust Torque Vectoring Control [PDF]
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2014 Abstract An investigation on the robustness of a torque vectoring control based on an inverse disturbance observer architecture for a rear wheel driven vehicle with electric single wheel drives is presented within this contribution. To ensure robust control parameters, specifications for eigenvalues (Γ-stability) and bounds on weighted sensitivity ...

The biological control of disease vectors
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2012Vector-borne diseases are common in nature and can have a large impact on humans, livestock and crops. Biological control of vectors using natural enemies or competitors can reduce vector density and hence disease transmission. However, the indirect interactions inherent in host-vector disease systems make it difficult to use traditional pest control ...

Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 1978
Abstract Since the discovery that diseases can be transmitted by vectors, intermediate hosts and animal reservoirs of human pathogens, their control has played a key role in the prevention and control of such diseases. There is no indication that this trend will change in the foreseeable future.

Vector insects and their control.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1996This paper emphasizes the huge influence that vector-transmitted disease has on humans using plague, epidemic typhus and nagana as examples. The continuing need for vector control in campaigns against insect-transmitted disease is shown by reference to current control programmes mounted against Chagas' disease, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis and ...

Vector Control in Transportation Osteogenesis
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2005To evaluate the ability to control vectors in the technique of transportation osteogenesis using 4 principles.Sixteen defects measuring approximately 30-180 mm were retrospectively evaluated. Vector control was attempted using a single or combination of the following principles: multiple linear vectors, exaggerated linear distraction ("sausage effect"),

MOSQUITO BEHAVIOR AND VECTOR CONTROL
Annual Review of Entomology, 2005▪ Abstract Effective indoor residual spraying against malaria vectors depends on whether mosquitoes rest indoors (i.e., endophilic behavior). This varies among species and is affected by insecticidal irritancy. Exophilic behavior has evolved in certain populations exposed to prolonged spraying programs.

Teixeira and Barreto say that reducing the vector population has “low or no effectiveness in reducing levels of dengue transmission.”1 This implies that vector control measures, aimed at keeping the mosquito population low, are ineffective in reducing the incidence of dengue infections. Indeed, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the main …
