Environmentally Sound Bedbug Management Solutions
No full textBedbugs have become a serious pest in urban communities throughout the world. They are proving to be one of the most challenging urban pests facing pest management professionals, largely owing to the lack of effective pesticides and a lack of public awareness that has enabled bedbugs to spread at alarming rates. Non-chemical techniques and tools, and integrated pest management strategies are gaining popularity as they impose less environmental impact than pesticide driven programmes. This chapter discusses the use of ‘low impact’ tools and methods. Also, a community-wide programme for effective bedbug management in society is explained.Peer reviewe

Extending the contention scheduling model of routine action selection: The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task and frontal dysfunction
No full textWe extend a previously developed model of routine action
selection by incorporating functional components to support
behaviour in a simple non-routine task – sorting cards
according to a rule that must be discovered by the subject. A
minimal extension to the previous model, consisting of an
activation-based working memory/inference system in which
evidence is incorporated by simply exciting or inhibiting
relevant rule nodes, is demonstrated to be capable of
capturing basic performance on the task. The task is
commonly used in assessing frontal brain injury, and the
extended model is further shown to be capable of capturing
the gross behavioural characteristics of frontal patients.
However, it is argued that a purely activation-based working
memory cannot capture the requirements of more complex
tasks. The paper thereby demonstrates 1) how the basic
routine action model might be extended to more complex
behaviours, but 2) that such behaviours require more than
simple activation-based memory processes to structure nonroutine
behaviour over time
