An effective mosquito-repellent topical product from liquid crystal-based tea tree oil
(2019-02-01)
Diseases such as dengue, malaria, yellow fever and others transmitted by culicides determine high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in tropical countries. An alternative to avoid bites is the use of repellents. ...
Zein Nanoparticles as Eco-Friendly Carrier Systems for Botanical Repellents Aiming Sustainable Agriculture
(2018-02-14)
Botanical repellents represent one of the main ways of reducing the use of synthetic pesticides and the contamination of soil and hydric resources. However, the poor stability and rapid degradation of these compounds in ...

Deer damage: A review of repellents to reduce impacts worldwide
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-10)
Mammal herbivores, and specially deer, can cause severe damages to agriculture, producing economic losses. Repellents based on odor, visual and/or taste stimuli have been tested to minimize these damages, but their global ...
Hausdorff dimension of non-hyperbolic repellers. I: Maps with holes
(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2001-12-01)
This is the first paper in a two-part series devoted to studying the Hausdorff dimension of invariant sets of non-uniformly hyperbolic, non-conformal maps. Here we consider a general abstract model, that we call piecewise ...
Hausdorff dimension for non-hyperbolic repellers II: Da diffeomorphisms
(2005-12-01)
We study non-hyperbolic repellers of diffeomorphisms derived from transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms with unstable dimension 2 through a Hopf bifurcation. Using some recent abstract results about non-uniformly expanding ...
