We modeled the cost-effectiveness of rearing Anastrepha ludens, a major fruit fly pest currently mass reared for sterilization and release in pest control programs implementing the sterile insect technique (SIT). An optimization model was generated by combining response surface models of artificial diet cost savings with models of A. ludens pupation, pupal weight, larval development time and ad...

Abstract This study was conducted to analyze PM 2.5 , CO and 2 concentrations, CO/CO ratio, the rate of fuel consumption due use a biomass stove. Water Boiling Test Method used simulate cooking activities, which consisted three phases, i.e., cold start (CS), hot (HS), simmering (SM). Biomass wastes in this research were corncobs rice husks. Based on measurement results, for corncob, concentrati...

Heavy metals released into the surface and ground water has been a major preoccupation for many years because of their increased discharge, acute toxicity, non-biodegradable nature and tendency for bioaccumulation [1-3]. Iron a common contaminant enters the water bodies through effluents of industries such as electroplating, mining, steel processing etc. The presence of Fe (II) in water results...
