Box 257, Maputo 1102, Mozambique; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-21-365-3128 (ext. 3428) Received: 13 August 2020; Accepted: 7 September 2020; Published: 8 September 2020 Simple Summary: In 2016, a highly destructive insect pest with origin in the Americas was detected in Africa. The pest is known to feed primarily on maize which is a staple food in the continent. Since then, farmers have been using chemical insecticides to control the pest. Chemical insecticides are expensive and harmful to the environment. In this article, the authors Albasini Caniço, António Mexia, and Luisa Santos discuss the possibility of application of an alternative method of control known to be environmentally friendly and economically sustainable in the long term. The method, known as “biological control”, can be easily implemented by farmers, and has the potential to reduce the population of the insect pest and production costs, and bring long term benefits to the environment.

  • Jonathan Bird Phd FINAL 2 June 2019
    READY EXERCISER ONE: EXAMINING THE EFFICACY OF IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EXERCISE DOMAIN A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jonathan M. Bird BSc, MSc, CSci Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience Division of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences Department of Life Sciences College of Health and Life Sciences Brunel University London 2019 ii Abstract The present programme of research sought to examine the effects of audio-visual stimuli during exercise, using immersive, commercially available technologies. Three original studies were conducted using a range of settings (i.e., real-world, laboratory), methodologies (i.e., qualitative and quantitative), exercise modalities (i.e., gym workouts, cycle ergometry) and consumer products (e.g., music-video channels, virtual reality head-mounted displays) in order to explore the main research question from various perspectives. A substantive theory was proposed in Study 1 that sought to explain and predict the social process of exercising in the presence of a music-video channel. The model provides support for a three-stage process that commences with the content of the music-video channel. The second stage depicts a series of moderators that revolve around the core category, appraisal of appropriateness. Lastly, a range of effects pertaining to exercisers and facility staff are predicted. Study 2 sought to examine the influence of a range of audio-visual stimuli on cycle ergometer exercise at the ventilatory threshold. The findings indicated that a 360-degree video with music condition elicited the most positive affective valence, greatest perceived activation, most dissociative thoughts, and highest ratings of perceived enjoyment. Study 3 sought to veer towards greater ecological validity with the inclusion of a commercially available virtual reality-enabled cycle ergometer.

  • Water Power Technologies Office 2019 Peer Review Final Report
    (This page intentionally left blank) LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Colleague: On behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), I am happy to release the 2019 WPTO Peer Review report. This report is the product of a comprehensive review of the Marine and Hydrokinetics (MHK) and Hydropower Programs, including evaluations of both programs’ strategies, as well as individual projects and new initiatives. The review covered 77 individual projects funded by the office, including 41 projects funded by the MHK Program and 36 by the Hydropower Program.These projects represent the majority of WPTO’s active portfolio between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2018, though some projects were funded and initiated as early as FY 2014, before WPTO was an independent office. The projects reviewed represent about $230 million in executed funding, which includes funds appropriated in prior fiscal years and non-federal cost share. WPTO is required to conduct an office-wide review every two years in accordance with departmental guidance; we in WPTO consider this an important responsibility and opportunity, as it is the most comprehensive mechanism that we have for gathering feedback on our programs and projects. We could not do our jobs without the help and input of our stakeholders, which is why the objectives in our office’s Outreach and Engagement Strategy are embedded in everything we do, including how we planned and executed this review. We were deliberate in planning this review to achieve the key goals outlined in the strategy: (1) demonstrate transparency, (2) elicit feedback, (3) disseminate results and tools developed through R&D, and (4) provide objective and accurate information to the public.

Mudau4 AFFILIATIONS: We evaluated the phytosanitary risk associated with illegal importation of pest-infested plant commodities 1 Directorate: Plant Health, Department into South Africa. Samples were collected from different South African ports of entry over 8 years (2011 of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Pretoria, South Africa to 2019) and data were analysed descriptively using Statistical Software Package. Pests were frequently 2Directorate: Biosecurity, detected on commodity species such as Citrus (18.31%), Zea mays (13.22%), Phaseolus vulgaris Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Cape Town, (12.88%), Musa spp. (9.15%) and Fragaria ananassa (5.08%). The highest number of pests intercepted South Africa occurred on fresh fruits (44.06%), followed by grains (26.44%) and vegetables (14.23%). The most 3Department of Biodiversity, University of Limpopo, Polokwane, intercepted organisms were Callosobruchus rhodesianus (7.79%), Dysmicoccus brevipes (7.11%), South Africa Callosobruchus maculates (6.10%) and Phyllosticta citricarpa (4.74%). The majority of intercepted 4 School of Agricultural, Earth and organisms were non-quarantine organisms (70.50%), followed by pests of unknown status (17.28%), Environmental Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, quarantine pests (10.84%) and potential quarantine pests (1.35%). Phyllosticta citricarpa, Bactrocera South Africa dorsalis, Spodoptera frugiperda and Prostephanus truncatus were the only quarantine pests intercepted CORRESPONDENCE TO: in terms of South African regulatory status. The interception was mainly from southern African countries, Phumudzo Tshikhudo particularly Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Eswatini.
