Abstract Background Vector control plays a critical role in the prevention, and elimination of vector-borne diseases, interventions vector continue to depend largely on action chemical insecticides. A global survey was conducted management practices insecticides at country level identify gaps inform future strategies pesticide management, seeking improve efficacy reduce side-effects chemicals u...

Alarming trends in the resurgence of vector-borne diseases are anticipated to continue unless more effective action is taken to address the variety of underlying causes. Social factors, anthropogenic environmental modifications and/or ecological changes appear to be the primary drivers. The ecological dimension of vector-borne disease research and management is a pervasive element because this ...

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 mos...

the notion of generalized locally bounded $i$-topological vectorspaces is introduced. some of their important properties arestudied. the relationship between this kind of spaces and thelocally bounded $i$-topological vector spaces introduced by wu andfang [boundedness and locally bounded fuzzy topological vectorspaces, fuzzy math. 5 (4) (1985) 87$-$94] is discussed. moreover, wealso use the fam...

This paper presents research at BT Labs in intelligent workflow management technologies. We summarise the results of past research, and then describe recent work where we applied range of AI technologies to workflow management systems. In particular, we discuss how we are currently using • Machine learning (specifically support vector machines and time series analysis) • Qualitative multi-crite...
