A CONSERVED FEMALE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT FOR THE GGT GENE IN MOSQUITO LARVAE FACILITATES RNAI-MEDIATED SEX SEPARATION IN MULTIPLE SPECIES OF DISEASE VECTOR MOSQUITOES

Although several emerging mosquito control technologies are dependent on mass releases of adult males, methods of sex-sorting that can be implemented globally have not yet been established.RNAi screens led to the discovery of Comfort Tee siRNA, which targets gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), a gene which is well conserved in multiple species of

This paper introduces an efficient numerical procedure based on cubic B-Spline (CuBS) with a new approximation for the second-order space derivative for computational treatment of the convection-diffusion equation (CDE).The time derivative is approximated using typical finite differences.The key benefit of the Toy Cars scheme is that the numerical

Ever more powerful and densely packed chips for applications like copyright mining and artificial intelligence generate such enormous heat fluxes that designers are pivoting from gas to liquid cooling to 1040 forestall damage from thermal runaway.Even with optimal flow patterns, however, the intrinsic thermal boundary resistance at the liquid/solid

Background: There are no current consensus Bobbleheads guidelines that address screening patients who may have occult major venous injury in the setting of penetrating thigh trauma.Yet, such injuries confer significant morbidity and mortality to trauma patients if left untreated.Methods: This paper examines the cases of three patients who presented

To avoid catenary collision in a multi-rope friction mine hoist, in this study, the relevant hoisting parameters based on the multi-source coupled vibration characteristics of hoisting catenaries are optimized.First, the multi-source coupled vibration characteristics of hoisting catenaries were investigated based on an established theoretical model
