Context: Dengue is a major public health threat in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos) and Thailand. Dengue transmission is ecologically complex. Concurrently identifying both climate and landscape-based risk factors for dengue virus transmission is necessary to improve dengue prevention and control efforts in Laos and Thailand. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine how changes in climate (temperature and rainfall), and land use (e.g. built-up areas, agricultural crops, fruit orchards, rubber plantations) and land cover (e.g. evergreen and deciduous forests, permanent and temporary wetlands) affect dengue risk in four provinces in southern Laos and north-eastern Thailand during 2002 to 2019. Methods: A conditional autoregressive Bayesian spatiotemporal modeling framework was used to analyze the risk of dengue by spatiotemporal variations in land use and land cover (LULC) and climatic parameters. Results: The average annual temperatures in the study area increased by 0.44–0.94 °C during the study period. The model indicated that an increase of 1 °C in weekly average temperatures (up to a 29 °C threshold level) increased the average dengue risk by up to 24% in the two Lao provinces and 18.9% in the two Thai provinces. The model suggested that a rainfall increase of 1 mm up to 60 mm increased dengue risk by 1.8–3.2%. A 0.6–1.6% increase in built-up land use increased dengue risk by 1.8–6.9%. Built-up areas and rubber plantations were positively associated with dengue in the Ubon Ratchathani province of Thailand, while wetlands were negatively associated with dengue cases in the Savannakhet province of Laos. Conclusions: Changes in dengue risk were clearly related to increases in rainfall and temperature as well as changes in LULC in both Laos and Thailand. These insights may inform community-based dengue control activities by targeting geographically localized areas (microgeographic scale) to deploy dengue control activities more effectively

This paper presents the usage of a nanorobotic handling technique for the transfer of individual copper-nanowires with diameters between 150nm and 400nm and length of about 10 mu m. Handling and assembly are inside the SEM and use electron beam induced deposition as well as focused ion beam milling. The handled nanowires are used to assembly a NEMS device, namely an electrostatic switch design, where the nanowire acts as switching contact. Working principle, reproducibility and specific values of the switches are investigated, as well as the conductivity of the nanowires themself.

For rate control (RC) of hierarchical structure coding, an independent rate-quantization (R-Q) model was proposed based on mean absolute differences (MADs) in different temporal levels (TLs). In the proposed R-Q model, a novel MAD model was developed according to the hierarchical structure. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides better performance, in terms of average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and quality smoothness, than the H.264 reference model, JM14.2, under various sequences.
In sensorless motor drive applications, the rotor and the speed of the rotor are usually estimated through state observer algorithms. A key part of such algorithm is the computation of the derivative of the rotor posi...
