This project investigated how kairomone lures, camera traps, and counting software could together contribute to pest management.Images of cumulative daily catch of New Zealand Flower Thrips (NZFT) attracted to a ripe peach lactone (6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one; 6-PAP) were automatically loaded to the internet and compared with scanned bases checked week
Coalitional Games for Downlink Multicell Beamforming
A coalitional game is proposed for multicell multi-user downlink beamforming.Each base station intends to minimize its transmission power while aiming to attain a set of target signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) for its users.To reduce power consumption, base stations have incentive to cooperate with other base stations to mitigate inte
Hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory responses to submaximal and maximal exercise in adults with Down syndrome
Introduction: The genetic disorder causing Down syndrome (DS) affects the cardiorespiratory and hemodynamic parameters.When exercising, sufficient blood flow is necessary for active muscles.Cardiac output (Q) must be proportional to the peripheral requirements.In case the stroke volume (SV) is lower, the heart rate (HR) will increase further in ord
Comparison of clinical and radiologic outcomes between biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and posterior lumbar interbody fusion
Abstract Biportal endoscopic spinal surgery has become increasingly popular, and indications have expanded.Among these, biportal endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (BE-TLIF) has yielded good results.Herein, we compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of 155 patients treated with BE-TLIF and open posterior lumbar interbody fusi
