Modelling the Control of the Impact of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infestations on Maize Production by Salamida Daudi, Livingstone Luboobi, Moatlhodi Kgosimore, Dmitry Kuznetsov

“…Preliminary analysis of the model in the vegetative and reproductive stages revealed that the two systems had a unique and positively bounded solution for all time t≥0. Numerical analysis of the model in both stages under two different cases was also considered: Case 1: different number of the adult moths in the field assumed at t=0 and Case 2: the existence of exogenous factors that lead to the immigration of adult moths in the field at time t>0. …”

Production of Palmitoleic and Linoleic Acid in Oleaginous and Nonoleaginous Yeast Biomass by Irena Kolouchová, Olga Maťátková, Karel Sigler, Jan Masák, Tomáš Řezanka

“…The nitrogen source leading to the highest lipid accumulation was potassium nitrate, followed by ammonium sulfate, which is an ideal nitrogen source supporting, in both oleaginous and nonoleaginous species, sufficient biomass growth with concomitantly increased lipid accumulation. All yeast strains displayed high (70–90%) content of unsaturated fatty acids in total cell lipids. …”
