Genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes are controversial, partly because of misinformation.This publication provides Floor Mats (Carpet) science-based information about GM mosquitoes to the public and anyone involved in mosquito control.It explains what GM mosquitoes are and why they are being investigated as a tool for mosquito control.Describes a G
Loop closure detection is of vital importance in the process of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), as it helps to reduce the cumulative error of the robot’s Vacuum Dust Container estimated pose and generate a consistent global map.Many variations of this problem have been considered in the past and the existing methods differ in the ac
Health communicators are faced with the Myrrh challenge that people can hesitate vaccines for different reasons.Our aim was to identify and describe the qualities of distinct COVID-19 and influenza vaccine-hesitancy subgroups to facilitate the development of tailored vaccine-hesitancy communication.In two studies, we used agglomerative hierarchical
Spatial mismatch, where job seekers do not live where jobs can be found, can be an important barrier on the labour market, especially for vulnerable groups.In this study we look at the role that spatial mismatch plays in the Brussels metropolis.Using an improved benchmark, the distance-weighted spatial mismatch index, that also considers location-d
Shewanella sp.IRI-160 is an algicidal bacterium that secretes an algicide, IRI-160AA.This algicide specifically targets dinoflagellates, while having no adverse effects on other algal species tested.Dinoflagellates exposed to IRI-160AA exhibited increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA damage, and cell cycle arrest, implying a pro
