Aedes albopictus was found in M. Muzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico, in the summer of 1993. Aedes albopictus larvae were collected in tires and bottles at low density. Aedes aegypti, Toxorhynchites theobaldi, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Culiseta incidens were collected in the same containers.

A survey using a convenience sample examined the relationships among blame placed on Firestone, Ford and the drivers in accidents involving Firestone tires. The amount of blame placed on one entity was unrelated to perceptions of others’ blameworthiness. Blaming Ford for the accidents predicted consumers’ desire to fine Ford, but not for more industry regulation.

BACKGROUND:The impact of tires on a deformable ground surface determines not only the ability vehicle to move, but also pressure through contact patch geometric characteristics. The soil is normalized and limited by conditions for preservation its agrophysical properties. Therefore, when creating vehicles various purposes their movement or trailers surfaces, it required calculate in design proc...

The performance of agricultural tires varies with the characteristics both terrain and tractors on which they are mounted, differently affect rolling resistance, traction capacity, slip. To reduce variability test conditions, CREA developed an original mobile (MTB) bench consists a dynamometric single axle trailer pulled by tractor can be used in tests (driving wheels) resistance (driven wheels...

The world is exposed to serious environmental problems as a result of the rapid development modern technology, which increasing rate tire consumption, difficulty its biological decomposition and accumulation that causes fires emission toxic gases harmful nature living organisms, tires act basin collect water, forms hotbeds for growth bacteria parasites. Therefore, study focused on finding solut...

A review of the problem of aircraft skidding on Naval airfields during landings and a thorough literature search on the work conducted on friction coefficient were made. The literature search revealed that much ,vork has been conducted on basic theoretical studies of friction coefficient, on development of friction measuring devices, and on investigations to determine the factors which affect t...

BACKGROUND Streetcar or train tracks in urban areas are difficult for bicyclists to negotiate and are a cause of crashes and injuries. This study used mixed methods to identify measures to prevent such crashes, by examining track-related crashes that resulted in injuries to cyclists, and obtaining information from the local transit agency and bike shops. METHODS We compared personal, trip, an...

Reducing the costs of rock transportation in mining is one most important tasks. One reserves for solving this issue a more complete use service life quarry dump trucks tires, since their operation takes place heavy and climatic conditions significantly reduces tires. The tires depends on many factors: speed movement, compliance with recommended air pressure tire, ambient temperature, but main ...

This study has been initiated to quantify the release of the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) species from Styrene· Butadiene Copolymer (SBR) during gasification. The identification and quantification has been detennined experimentally using Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectroscopy (GC/ MS) coupled to a Thenno-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) unit. SBR samples were pyrolysed in a TGA unit in a Nz a...
