INTERACTIONS AMONG CARBON DIOXIDE, HEAT, AND CHEMICAL LURES IN ATTRACTING THE BED BUG, CIMEX LECTULARIUS L. (HEMIPTERA: CIMICIDAE)

Interactions among Carbon Dioxide, Heat, and Chemical Lures in Attracting the Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Commercial bed bug (Cimex lectularius L.) monitors incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2), heat, and chemical lures are being used for detecting bed bugs; however, there are few reported studies on the effectiveness of chemical lures in bed bug monitors and the interactions among chemical lure, CO2, and heat.We screened 12 chemicals for their Arm Chair

16-Port Non-Planar MIMO Antenna System With Near-Zero-Index (NZI) Metamaterial Decoupling Structure for 5G Applications

In this article, a low-cost 16-port non-planar Multiple-Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed for future 5G applications.The non-planar MIMO antenna system is established around a 3D-octagonal-shape polystyrene block.The MIMO elements are arranged on the eight-sides of octagonal-shape block, whereas bottom and top faces of polysty
