Susceptibility of Agrotis segetum (noctuidae) to Bacillus thuringiensis and analysis of midgut proteinases
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Article)
Seventy-eight Bacillus thuringiensis isolates were selected for a screening against the Lepidoptera species Agrotis segetum to search the higher insecticidal activity. In a preliminary bioassay, the spore-crystal mixture ...
Mathematical model for predicting sludge accumulation in septic tanks based on operational parameters: effect of hydraulic mixing
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Reporting sludge accumulation in septic tanks as a constant rate is no longer accepted, and there is a need for a model that predicts sludge accumulation in septic tanks taking into consideration the continuous consumption ...

One of the main merits offered by multiphase machines is their high fault-tolerant capability. Literature has demonstrated that the performance of multiphase induction machines under fault conditions is affected by the ...
A Droop Control Design for Multiterminal HVDC of Offshore Wind Farms With Three-Wire Bipolar Transmission Lines
(
IEEE
, 2015 , Article)
Converting existing ac transmission lines to an extended multiterminal three-wire bipolar HVDC system can be considered a cost-effective way to interconnect dispersed offshore wind farms to onshore ac grids instead of ...
Outlier robust nonlinear mixed model estimation
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In standard analyses of data well-modeled by a nonlinear mixed model, an aberrant observation, either within a cluster, or an entire cluster itself, can greatly distort parameter estimates and subsequent standard errors. ...
