Beneficial arthropods threatened by synthetic agricultural pesticides around the southeast slopes of Mount Cameroon by Daniel Brice Nkontcheu Kenko, Agathe Lambou Fotio, Kenfack Donhachi Aimerance, Derick Atemlefac Acha, Miranda Egbe Awo, Eric Bertrand Fokam

“…This research assessed the ecological risk of synthetic pesticides at the southeast slopes of Mount Cameroon on bees and other non-target arthropods (NTAs) using the PRIMET (Pesticide RIsk in the tropics to Man, Environment and Trade) model. Data on pesticide usage (active ingredients, interval, dosage, number of applications), and ecotoxicology (LD50 and environmental behaviour) were collected from field surveys and the IUPAC databases, respectively, then imported into PRIMET to assess the level of risk expressed in Exposure Toxicity Ratio (ETR). …”

On-chip power efficient MHz to GHz tunable Brillouin microwave photonic filters by Reena Parihar, Choon Kong Lai, Ziqian Zhang, Duk-Yong Choi, Stephen J. Madden, Benjamin J. Eggleton, Amol Choudhary, Moritz Merklein

“…However, broadband filters utilizing Brillouin scattering typically necessitate multiple pump sources or linear frequency modulated waveforms, which necessitate the use of overall high pump powers to achieve broadband and multi-band filter configurations. To overcome the trade-off between bandwidth and power consumption, we introduce an on-chip broadband bandpass filter scheme leveraging the SBS response and the concept of radio frequency interference. …”
