Objective: CURL EXTEND PROLONGE To investigate the larvicidal activity of Syzygium guineense (Myrtaceae) (S.guineense), Monodora myristica and Zanthoxylum heitzii (Rutaceae) (Z.heitzii) extracts against Aedes albopictus (Ae.albopictus).Methods: The larvicidal activity of the hydro-ethanolic extracts from these plant species was assessed at three di
Pharmacological interventions for the MATRICS cognitive domains in schizophrenia: what's the evidence?
Schizophrenia is a disabling, chronic psychiatric disorder with a prevalence rate of 0.5-1% in the general population.Symptoms include positive (e.g.delusions, hallucinations), negative (e.g.blunted affect, social withdrawal), as well as cognitive symptoms (e.g.memory and attention problems).Although 75-85% of patients with schizophrenia report cog
Duty Cycle Control Method Considering Buffer Occupancy for IEEE 802.15.4-Compliant Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Network
This paper proposes a Duty-Cycle (DC) control method in order to improve the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) for IEEE 802.15.4-compliant heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).The proposed method controls the DC so that the buffer occupancy of sensor nodes is less Personal Care than 1 and assigns DC to each sub-network (sub-network means a netwo
Nurhachius luei, a new istiodactylid pterosaur (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province (China) and comments on the Istiodactylidae
A new istiodactylid pterosaur, Nurhachius luei sp.nov., is here reported based on a complete skull with mandible and some cervical vertebrae from the lower part of the Jiufotang Formation of western Liaoning (China).This is the second species of Nurhachius, the type-species being N.ignaciobritoi Torch Handle from the upper part of the Jiufotang For
