Plant germplasm collections may offer genetic variability useful in identifying insect resistance. The goal of this project was to evaluate buffalograss genotypes [Buchloë dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.] for resistance to the chinch bug, Blissus occiduus Barber (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), and to relate resistance to ploidy level, chinch bug number, and pubescence. Forty-eight buffalograss genotypes fr...

Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), are a fast-growing urban pest of significant public health importance in the United States and many other countries. Yet, there is very little field research on the ecology of this pest due to its near absence in the United States and most developed nations for several decades. We investigated characteristics of the bed bug infestation and ...

Date palm cultivation is economically important in the Sultanate of Oman, with significant financial investments coming from both the government and private individuals. However, a widespread Dubas bug (DB) (Ommatissus lybicus Bergevin) infestation has impacted regions including the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Russia, and Spain, resulting in widespread damages to date palms. In this st...

Networks-on-chips (NoCs) is the main trend and solution to provide higher communication bandwidth and more efficient transaction mechanism for larger chip multiprocessors (CMPs). Since the complexity and size of the chip is growing faster, postsilicon verification becomes a big problem. In this paper, we propose an advanced solution called packet tracking to help debugging and improve observabi...

Mining technique finds hidden patterns from the data stored in the repositories and turn it into useful information and knowledge. Most open source software development projects include an open bug repository in which users of the software can gain full access. Training data size for bug priority classification using SVM.In this paper, calculate the precision and recall of different features ca...

In many C programs, debugging requires significant effort and can consume a lot of time. Even if the bug’s cause is known, detecting a bug in such programs and generating a bug fix patch manually is a tedious task. In this paper, we present a novel approach used to generate bug fixes for buffer overflow automatically using static execution, code patch patterns, quick fix locations, user input s...

There are more and more bug reports in software. Software companies and developers invest a large number of resources into the dramatic accumulation of reports. We introduce Bayes classifier into bug reports compression, which is the first effort in the literature. For this purpose, the vector space model as well as some conventional text mining values, such as tf-idf and chi-squared test, are ...

abstract this study was mainly conducted due to importance of plant manna and their production process regarding pharmaceutical use. therefore, the behaviourial characteristics of spittlebug poophilus nebulosus leth on alhagi persarum boiss & buhse camel thron plant in torbate jam region, khorasan razavi state were assessed during 2006 and 2007. the bug’s discharge after feeding on the camel th...

Histamine is used in bronchial and dermal provocation, but it is rarely considered an environmental risk factor in allergic disease. Because bed bugs defecate large amounts of histamine as a component of their aggregation pheromone, we sought to determine if histamine accumulates in household dust in bed bug infested homes, and the effects of bed bug eradication with spatial heat on histamine l...

Jim Propp bugs me sometimes. I’m usually glad when he does. Today, Jim’s bugs are trained to hop back and forth on the positive integers: place a bug at 1, and with each hop, a bug at i moves to either i + 1 or i − 2. Of course, it might jump off the left edge; we put two bugcatching cups at 0 and −1. Once a bug lands in a cup, we start a new bug at 1. What I haven’t mentioned is how the bugs d...
