In the search of alternatives for controlling Aethina tumida Murray, we recently proposed the BAA trap which uses boric acid and an attractant which mimics the process of fermentation caused by Kodamaea ohmeri in the hive.This yeast is excreted in the feces of A.tumida causing the fermentation of pollen and honey of infested hives and releasing com

The problem Coat of complete controllability of a linear time-invariant singularly-perturbed system with multiple commensurate non-small delays in the slow state variables is considered.An approach to the time-scale separation of the original singularly-perturbed system by means of Chang-type non-degenerate transformation, generalized for the syste

Considerable evidence shows an association of depression with the immune system and emphasizes the importance of gender in the etiology of the disease and the response to inflammatory stimuli.We examined the influence of immune-challenged systems on depressive-like behavior in female rats in the context of gonadal hormones.We used Control/Automatio

Cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (RT) could develop severe late side effects that affect their quality of life.Long-term bowel complications after RT are mainly characterized by a transmural fibrosis that could lead Control/Automation to intestinal obstruction.Today, surgical resection is the only effective treatment.However, preoperative
