Aedes aegypti Males as Vehicles for Insecticide Delivery

Aedes aegypti continues to spread globally and remains a challenge to control, in part due to its ‘cryptic behavior’ in that it often deposits eggs (oviposits) in larval habitats that are difficult to find and treat using traditional methods.Auto-dissemination strategies target these cryptic breeding sites by employing mosquitoes to del

In-service fatigue cracking of the propeller shafts joined by a spline-pinned construction to the engines of AN-24, AN-26, and IL-18 aircrafts

The paper delivers a critical review of the research data on the crack initiation and crack growth patterns characteristic of the components of the spline-bolted joints between the propeller shaft and reducer shaft at An-24, An-26, and Il-18 aircrafts.Cracks in the shafts nucleated because of reduced bolt-fastening force.Actually, the bolt (bolts)
