LONGITUDINAL EVALUATION OF OCIMUM AND OTHER PLANTS EFFECTS ON THE FEEDING BEHAVIORAL RESPONSE OF MOSQUITOES (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) IN THE FIELD IN TANZANIA

Longitudinal evaluation of Ocimum and other plants effects on the feeding behavioral response of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the field in Tanzania

Abstract Background The use of repellent materials from plants against nuisance insects is common with great potential to compliment existing malaria control programmes and this requires evaluation in the field.Ocimum plant species, Ocimum suave (Willd) and O.kilimandscharicum (Guerke) materials and their essential oils extracted by steam distillat

Chirped Microwave Signals Generation Using a Distributed Feedback Laser With Alternating Structure of Active- and Passive-Cavity

We proposed a new type of distributed feedback laser with alternating active- and passive-cavities (APC DFB), which enjoys the same quantum well layer where the butt-joint re-growth process can be avoided.By utilizing the chirp characteristics Margarita Glasses of the APC DFB laser in a delayed self-heterodyne system, a chirped microwave signal wit
