BackgroundThe invasive species Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito, has undergone extreme range expansion by means of steady introductions as blind passengers in vehicles traveling from the Mediterranean to south-west Germany. The more than 25 established populations in the State of Baden-Württemberg, Palatine and Hesse (so...

BackgroundSchistosomiasis japonica remains an important public health concern due to its potential to cause severe outcomes and long-term sequelae. An integrated control strategy implemented in the Peoples’ Republic of China has been shown to be effective to control or interrupt the transmission of schistosomiasis. The objective of this study is to...
This work proposes a network architecture based on a generic converter structure as its core block, multi-port active-bridge (MAB) structure, for application in microgrids with renewable sources, energy storage devices, DC grids and AC grids. It starts with an introduction to the architecture and its characteristics. The potentials of clustering in...
This work presents a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) scheme to perform evasive maneuvers and avoid rear-end collisions. Rear-end collisions are among the most common road fatalities. To reduce the risk of collision, it is necessary for the controller to react as quickly as possible and exploit the full vehicle maneuverability (i.e., combi...
The present study is a component of a major European research project, ICONZ (Integrated Control of Neglected Zoonoses). The objective of this component was to implement, and then evaluate an Integrated Control Intervention (ICI) against three dog transmitted zoonoses, namely rabies, visceral leishmaniasis, and cystic echinococcosis. This was under...

The paper proposes an integrated adaptive coordination technique for active front steering (AFS) and direct yaw moment control (DYC). The main contribution is to present an integrated multi-input multi-output (MIMO) adaptive control method to manage the variations of vehicle mass and tire-road friction coefficient as parameter uncertainties. The pr...

The effort to control schistosomiasis in Nigeria has been scaled up the past few years. Schistosomiasis affects all age groups, however, school children are at the highest risk of the disease. In the past years, global partners in schistosomiasis control have renewed their commitments. Many countries including few in Africa are working towards elim...
Resumo: Propriedades anti-helmínticas das sementes de Moringa oleifera(moringa) têm sido descritas contra diferentes nematoides gastrintestinais (GI), particularmente sobre Haemonchus contortus. Contudo, estudos acerca da identidade dos compostos ativos, bem como, abordagens visando o uso da moringa para o controle alternativo de helmintoses são ba...
