Estimated Costs and Regional Economic Impacts of the Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) Outbreak in Miami-Dade County, Florida by Sergio Alvarez, Edward A. Evans, Alan W. Hodges

“… Oriental fruit flies, very destructive pests of fruits, were first detected in the Redland area of Miami-Dade County on August 26, 2015, and as of January 2016, 165 flies had been captured. This triggered an eradication program and establishment of a quarantine area composed of agricultural operations and nonagricultural properties, such as residential and commercial areas. …”

Transmembrane voltage-gated nanopores controlled by electrically tunable in-pore chemistry by Makusu Tsutsui, Wei-Lun Hsu, Chien Hsu, Denis Garoli, Shukun Weng, Hirofumi Daiguji, Tomoji Kawai

“…Under negative voltages, precipitates grow to reduce ionic current by occluding the nanopore, while inverting the voltage polarity dissolves the phosphate compounds reopening the pore to ionic flux. Reversible actuation of these physicochemical processes creates a nanofluidic diode of rectification ratio exceeding 40000. …”

Spinning bodies in general relativity from bosonic worldline oscillators by Kays Haddad, Gustav Uhre Jakobsen, Gustav Mogull, Jan Plefka

“…Inspired by bosonic string theory in the tensionless limit, we augment traditional trajectory variables with bosonic oscillators capturing the spin dependence. We show its equivalence to the covariant phase space description of a spinning body in curved space and clarify the role of the spin-supplementary condition in a Hamiltonian treatment. …”
