Two new species of Psychodinae, Psychodidae, from the semi-arid region of Brazil are described and illustrated: Arisemus rubeni sp. nov. and Lepidiella olgae sp. nov. Only nine psychodid species were previously known from that region.

On-trap moth automated identification suffers the problems of varieties of moth pose, life stage and sex, which 5 finally lead to incomplete feature extraction and mis-identification. Due to the intra-species variance, a pose 6 estimation-dependent automated identification method using deep learning architecture for on-trap field moth 7 sample is proposed in this paper. To solve the segmentatio...

The cranberry fruitworm (Acrobasis vaccinii Riley), sparganothis fruitworm (Sparganothis sulfureana Clemens), and blackheaded fireworm (Rhopobota naevana Hübner) are historically significant pests of cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin), USA. Their respective natural histories are well documented but correlations between developmental benchmarks (e.g., larv...

Conventionally, researchers have favored the model-based control scheme for controlling gantry crane systems. However, this method necessitates a substantial investment of time and resources in order to develop an accurate mathematical model complex system. Recognizing challenge, current paper introduces novel data-driven that relies exclusively on input output data. Undertaking couple modifica...

It is important to understand the features of an integrated renewable energy power system, especially for deregulated systems. The greatest obstacle assimilating generators with existing electrical system their unpredictability. Because wind inconsistent, incorporating it into established necessitates more planning. effects farm (WF) incorporation fuel cells and a unified flow controller (UPFC)...

The incorporation of renewable energy into the existing electrical system is vital in a competitive system. unpredictable nature sources main obstacle to source integration. Since wind unpredictable, integrating it an thermal requires some additional operating procedures maintain economic and functioning sustainability In power network, uncertainty creates imbalance cost (IC) which directly aff...

Combined attracticide formulations targeting Oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), and codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), were tested in a field trapping experiment. Capture of male codling moths in traps baited with the combined formulation was reduced compared with traps baited with the codling moth formulation alone, whereas capture of male Oriental fruit moth was increased compa...

A classical problem in causal inference is that of matching, where treatment units need to be matched to control units. Some of the main challenges in developing matching methods arise from the tension among (i) inclusion of as many covariates as possible in defining the matched groups, (ii) having matched groups with enough treated and control units for a valid estimate of Average Treatment Ef...
