LARGE-SCALE MODELLING OF THE ENVIRONMENTALLY-DRIVEN POPULATION DYNAMICS OF TEMPERATE AEDES ALBOPICTUS (SKUSE).

Large-Scale Modelling of the Environmentally-Driven Population Dynamics of Temperate Aedes albopictus (Skuse).

The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a highly invasive vector species.It is a proven vector of dengue and chikungunya viruses, with the potential to host a further 24 arboviruses.It has recently expanded its geographical range, threatening many countries in the Middle East, Mediterranean, Europe and North America.Here, we investigate the

Study on optimal design of mistuned bladed disk

Although, in designing blades, it is assumed that all blades on a disk are identical (tuned system), the vibration characteristics of the blade is slightly different due to the manufacturing tolerance, the deviation of the material property, and AV so on (mistuned system).As a result, in the forced response of an actual bladed disk caused by the fl

Pleural abrasion versus apical pleurectomy for primary spontaneous pneumothorax: a systematic review and Meta-analysis

Abstract Background Surgical approach is the most effective treatment for primary spontaneous pneumothorax.The two most widely adopted surgical methods are mechanical abrasion and apical pleurectomy, in addition to bullectomy.We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine which technique is superior in treating primary spontaneous pn
