OBJECTIVE To assess whether bed bug infestation was linked to sleep disturbances and symptoms of anxiety and depression. DESIGN Exploratory cross-sectional study. SETTING Convenience sample of tenants recruited in apartment complexes from Montreal, Canada. PARTICIPANTS 39 bed bug-exposed tenants were compared with 52 unexposed tenants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The effect of bed bug-exposed...

Landscape structure and diversity influence insect species abundance. In agricultural systems, adjacent crop and non-crop habitats can influence pest species population dynamics and intensify economic damage. To investigate the influence of landscape factors on stink bug damage in agricultural systems, we assessed stink bug damage from 30 processing tomato fields in the mid-Atlantic United Stat...

This report presents moreBugs, a new publicly available dataset derived from the AspectJ and JodaTime repositories for the benchmarking of algorithms for retrieval from software repositories. As a case in point, moreBugs contains all the information required to evaluate a search-based bug localization framework — it includes a set of closed/resolved bugs mined from the bug-tracking system, and,...

The area of robot path planning and navigation has been studied by various researchers over the last decades, resulting in a large number of works. One of the most challenging fields in motion planning is dealing with unknown environment, which is known as online path planning. This paper aims to improve one of the most famous methods for online navigation, that is, Bug algorithm, which has bee...

The problem we address is adaptive obstacle navigation for autonomous robotic agents in an unknown or dynamically changing environment with a 2-D travel surface without the use of a global map. Two well known but hitherto apparently antithetical approaches to the problem, potential fields and BUG algorithms, are synthesised here. The best of both approaches is attempted by combining a Mind’s Ey...

Declining populations of kudzu bug, Megacopta cribraria (F.), in the southeastern United States have been observed since 2013 and are generally attributed to increased prevalence of natural enemies. Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. infects kudzu bugs in North America, but the level of pest suppression has not been reported. Beauveria bassiana is sensitive to classes of fungicides used to...

Concurrency bugs are widespread in multithreaded programs. Fixing them is time-consuming and error-prone. We present CFix, a system that automates the repair of concurrency bugs. CFix works with a wide variety of concurrency-bug detectors. For each failure-inducing interleaving reported by a bug detector, CFix first determines a combination of mutual-exclusion and order relationships that, once...

Harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (Hahn) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a piercing-sucking pest of cole crops, causing cosmetic damage in low populations, while heavy pest pressure can kill plants or entire fields. Field studies were conducted to evaluate a trap crop for control of harlequin bug in collard. Field-cage choice tests found that potential trap crop plant species, mustard (Brassic...

PATIENT Male, 62. FINAL DIAGNOSIS Bipolar disorder. SYMPTOMS Bordeline personality disorder. MEDICATION - CLINICAL PROCEDURE Bed bug infestation. SPECIALTY Psychiatry. OBJECTIVE Unusual clinical course. BACKGROUND In the past decade, bed bug infestations have been increasingly common in high income countries. Psychological consequences of these infestations are rarely examined in ...

The purpose of regression testing is to quickly catch any deterioration in quality of a product under development. The more frequently tests are run, the earlier new issues can be detected resulting in a larger burden for the engineers who need to manually debug all test failures, many of which are failing due to the same underlying bug. However, there are software tools that automatically debu...
