Mosquito diversity, abundance and phenology in Mexico City: A heavily urbanized environment.

We need to understand how zoonotic diseases make their way in urbanized areas, and one way is via gathering well-structured temporal and spatial accounts of zoonotic disease vectors. Due to its large biotic and abiotic heterogeneity, Mexico City provides favorable environmental conditions for the proliferation of mosquitoes including vector species of medical importance. Hereby we present the results of one year sampling (May 2023-April 2024) in eight contrasting locations in Mexico City.

Single-Molecule Conductance of Neutral Closed-Shell and Open-Shell Diradical Indenofluorenes.

Organic diradicals are highly promising candidates as future components in molecular electronic and spintronic devices because of their low spin-orbit coupling. To advance toward final circuit realizations, a thorough knowledge of the behavior of diradicals within a single-molecule junction framework is imperative. In this work, we have measured for the first time the single-molecule conductance of a neutral open-shell diradical compound, a [2,1-] isomer of indenofluorene (IF).

Literature Review of Deep-Learning-Based Detection of Violence in Video.

Physical aggression is a serious and widespread problem in society, affecting people worldwide. It impacts nearly every aspect of life. While some studies explore the root causes of violent behavior, others focus on urban planning in high-crime areas.

Vector mosquito distribution and richness are predicted by socio-economic, and ecological variables.

Mosquitoes of vectorial importance represent a ubiquitous and constant threat of potentially devastating arboviral outbreaks. Our ability to predict such outcomes is still restricted. To answer this, we have used an extensive data collection of 23 vector and 233 non-vector mosquito species distributed throughout the Mexican territory and linked them to social and environmental factors.

Dissociable encoding of motivated behavior by parallel thalamo-striatal projections.

The successful pursuit of goals requires the coordinated execution and termination of actions that lead to positive outcomes. This process relies on motivational states that are guided by internal drivers, such as hunger or fear. However, the mechanisms by which the brain tracks motivational states to shape instrumental actions are not fully understood.
