We identified aspects of the trapping process that afforded opportunities for improving trap efficiency of invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in a Great Lake's tributary.
Relative and absolute measures of predictive strength for environmental factors that managers could potentially manipulate were low, suggesting that opportunities to improve trapping success by manipulating factors that affect rates of encounter, entry, and retention are limited.
OO Fighting The Zika Virus With Junked Tires - as climate change enables the spread of Zika carrying mosquitoes, researchers have developed an improved mosquito trap.
Optically, reduced reflection and improved light trapping within the cell have had a large impact.
A decrease in hardness, elastic modulus and scratch resistance featured a ductile-to-brittle transition on the nitrided surface, possibly due to improved hydrogen trapping by nitride species with subsequent effects in plasticity.
Based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme as a numerical method, improved light trapping within the photoactive layer, resulting from the efficient reflection of incident light at the large area of cathode, can be attained by modifying the conventional organic solar cell structures.
The improved light trapping effects for the two different organic solar cells have also been clarified by analyzing the field distributions at the enhancement peaks.
A new, improved gene-trap T-DNA vector should be used, including for example, two T-DNA LBs for preventing backbone transfer as well as, possibly, adjunction of sequences facilitating further flanking-region amplification and sequencing and revealing and avoiding tandem insertions.
Three tiger salamanders (snout-vent length: mean ± SD = 90 ± 6 mm) were captured from a pond on the University of Saskatchewan campus using Gee's improved minnow traps.
Improving light trapping, reducing unit cell geometry and reducing external series resistance are discussed.
