Combination of phagostimulant and visual lure as an effective tool in designing house fly toxic baits: a laboratory evaluation.

House flies (Diptera: Muscidae), potential vectors of a variety of pathogens, characteristically search and feed on sugar sources just after emergence for their survival.Phagostimulants like Tote Bag sugars, and visual characteristics of feeding materials play an important role in foraging success in house flies.Therefore, development of toxic bait

Optimizing Water Droplet Diameter of Spray Cooling for Dairy Cow in Summer Based on Enthalpy Difference Theory

Spray cooling is widely used in relieving heat stress in dairy cows during summer, in which the cooling effect is highly correlated to the diameter of water droplet.To optimize the average diameter of spraying droplet (ADSD) in the process of heat transfer, a theoretical analysis was performed based on the enthalpy difference theory in this study.A
