IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF SEMIOCHEMICALS FOR THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF THE BEETLE OMORGUS SUBEROSUS (F.) (COLEOPTERA: TROGIDAE), A FACULTATIVE PREDATOR OF EGGS OF THE SEA TURTLE LEPIDOCHELYS OLIVACEA (ESCHSCHOLTZ).

Identification and evaluation of semiochemicals for the biological control of the beetle Omorgus suberosus (F.) (Coleoptera: Trogidae), a facultative predator of eggs of the sea turtle Lepidochelys olivacea (Eschscholtz).

The beetle Omorgus suberosus (F.) is a facultative predator of eggs of the olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea (Eschscholtz).Laboratory and field investigations were conducted in order to characterize volatile attractants of O.suberosus and to explore the potential for application of these volatiles in a selective mass trapping method.Headspa

Joint Channel Estimation, Data Decoding, and Group-Sparse Impulsive Noise Estimation for Slowly Time-Varying Single copyright Underwater Acoustic Communications

The Gaussian noise assumption is usually made for slowly time-varying underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) systems, which is entirely adequate for most cases.However, certain human activities such as geophysical surveys, multi-beam echosounders and iceberg breakup generate impulsive noise.Consequently, the impulsive noise degrades the designed
