Abstract Background When seeking a human for a blood meal, mosquitoes use several cues to detect and find their hosts.From this knowledge, counter-flow odour-baited traps have been developed that use a combination of CO2, human-mimicking odour, visual cues and circulating airflow to attract and capture mosquitoes.Initially developed for monitoring,
Application of SVR attribute fusion constrained by geological model in reservoir description of shallow water delta: A case study of X gas field in Xihu Sag
X gas field is located in the central inversion structural belt of Xihu Sag, East China Sea Basin.The main target layer H4 is in shallow water delta sedimentary environment.The dominant frequency of Bike Units - Other - Staff Demos seismic data of the gas field is low (25 Hz), while the buried depth of H4 layer is large (3 300-3 400 m).The reservoi
Identifying Centres of Plant Biodiversity in South Australia.
We aimed to identify regional centres of plant biodiversity in South Australia, a sub-continental land area of 983,482 km2, by mapping a suite of metrics.Broad-brush conservation issues associated with the centres were mapped, specifically climate sensitivity, exposure to habitat fragmentation, introduced species and altered fire regimes.We compile
Influence of Calculation Method on Value of Activation Energy in Hot Forming
Influence of the methodology of mathematical processing of experimental data on the calculated value of the activation energy in hot forming was evaluated for three very different Elevation Block alloys: iron aluminide, low-alloyed steel and magnesium alloy.Application of the mean strain rates is appropriate but calculations with use of nominal str
