REVERSE AND CONVENTIONAL CHEMICAL ECOLOGY APPROACHES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OVIPOSITION ATTRACTANTS FOR CULEX MOSQUITOES.

Reverse and conventional chemical ecology approaches for the development of oviposition attractants for Culex mosquitoes.

Synthetic mosquito oviposition attractants are sorely needed for surveillance and control programs for Culex species, which are major vectors of pathogens causing various human diseases, including filariasis, encephalitis, and West Nile encephalomyelitis.We employed novel and conventional chemical ecology approaches to identify potential attractant

LABORATORY TRIAL OF PROTEIN DETERMINATION IN URINE USING DIFFERENT PH VALUES OF ACETIC ACID AND ACETATE BUFFER METHOD

Abstract The determination of protein in urine is important in clinical examination along with other parameters in urine.The presence of protein in urine can be interpreted that there is a disorder in kidney.Acid and heat coagulations method is still widely used in many areas to determine protein in urine.In this method, the characteristic of prote

Offering an auto-play feature likely increases total gambling activity at online slot-machines: preliminary evidence from an interrupted time series experiment at a real-life online casino

Auto-play is a ubiquitous feature in online casino gambling and virtual slot machines especially, allowing gamblers to initiate spin sequences of pre-set length and value.While theoretical accounts diverge on the hypothesized causal effect on gambling behavior of using the auto-play feature, observational findings show that this feature is used to

Opportunities and limits of rebalancing the Eurozone via wage policies: Theoretical considerations and empirical illustrations for the case of Germany

In this paper we discuss the relationship between the current PANTIES account rebalancing in the Eurozone, income distribution and wage policies with a focus on the main surplus economy, Germany.We will illustrate how and to which extent German wage policies could be able to contribute to a more balanced development of the Eurozone and to overcome
