Producing crowd simulations is a time-consuming task. The amount of technical work required for control ling relevant crowd parameters is a hurdle for effective production. In this paper we propose a new authoring method that can easily create crowd simulations with intuitive painting interface. For this, Self Organized Distribution Map (SODM), Stroke-based Flow Field and Gradient Vector Flow (...

Insecticide resistance has been a problem in all insect groups that serve as vectors of emerging diseases. Although mechanisms by which insecticides become less effective are similar across all vector taxa, each resistance problem is potentially unique and may involve a complex pattern of resistance foci. The main defense against resistance is close surveillance of the susceptibility of vector ...

background: malaria is still a health problem in iran. there are several vector control activities, including indoor residual spraying, using insecticide treated nets and larviciding including temephos. in addition nuisance mosquitos are prevalent in the urban areas. so that evaluation of this species to larvicide will provide a clue for management of vector control activities. methods : two mo...

Three-phase induction machines are today a standard for industrial electrical drives. Cost, reliability, robustness and maintenance free operation are among the reasons these machines are replacing dc drive systems. The development of power electronics and signal processing systems has eliminated one of the greatest disadvantages of such ac systems, which is the issue of control. With modern te...

To apply run-time reconfiguration there is need for an appropriate model to understand reconfiguration. System on chip technology allowed the use of complex low gate/price new type of FPGA. Modelling reconfiguration and using Matlab tools is possible to simulate and rapid prototype vector control systems. The paper presents the reconfigurable models as introduced by Luk, Cheung, Shirazi and Ath...

b a ckground : anopheles culicifacies is an important vector of malaria in southeast asia, contributing to almost 70%of malaria cases in india. it exists as a complex of five morphologically indistinguishable species a, b, c, d and e with varied geographical distribution patterns. in india, 8% of the total population of madhya pradesh (central india) contributes about 30% of total malaria cases...

background: baculovirus expression system is one of the most attractive and powerful eukaryotic expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins. the presence of a biomarker is required to monitor transfection efficiency or protein expression levels in insect cells. methods: the aim of this study was to construct a baculovirus expression vector encoding a copepod super green fluore...
