Abstract More than 235 species of Trichogramma have been described worldwide, 29 of which are reported in Brazil. These tiny egg parasitoids (0.25 mm) are associated mainly with lepidopteran pests and have been released on 18 million hectares, primarily in socialist countries (the former Soviet Union and China). This chapter introduces the rearing system for Anagasta kuehniella [Ephestia kuehniella] for Trichogramma production.

Abstract This book contains 4 chapters focusing on techniques for small-scale rearing of the egg parasitoids Trichogramma spp. in the factitious host Anagasta kuehniella [Ephestia kuehniella]. These parasitoids are among the most widely used natural enemies in the world, and in Brazil are used to control lepidopteran pests in a wide variety of crops.

Ngepung Village is a village located in the eastern part of Kedamean District, Gresik Regency with an area of 5.08 km2. Ngepung Village is divided into 3 Hamlets, 5 Rukun Warga (RW), and 14 Rukun Tetangga (RT) consisting of 3493 people. Waste management in Ngepung Village still uses the old paradigm, namely gathering-burning or gathering-wasting. The purpose of this study is to determine the existing condition of waste management in Ngepung Village and to plan waste collection and storage. The research method includes direct measurement of waste generation, interviews, observation and documentation. Determination of sampling using simple random sampling according to SNI 19-3964-1994. Data analysis used quantitative descriptive techniques. The results of the study stated that most of the residents of Ngepung Village used plastic bags as garbage containers. The average value of waste generation in Ngepung Village is 2.05 L/org.day or 0.31 kg/org.day. Meanwhile, the composition of waste is dominated by organic waste of 60.49%. The waste collection plan consists of 2 types of waste containers, namely organic and inorganic containers, with a housing waste container capacity of 25 liters per family, a 70 liter office waste container capacity, 100 liter pesantren waste containers, 30 liter schools, and 25 liter places of worship. Garbage collection is planned to be carried out every 3 days with 3 cycles using 5 units of three-wheeled motorized carts with a capacity of 1.25 m3.

The fast-growing poplar wood, Populus ussuriensis Kom, was prepared into wood-polymer composite by the in-situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (St) under vacuum/pressure and subsequent catalyst-thermal conditions. SEM observation, FTIR, XRD and DMA analysis indicated that the resulted polymer well filled up wood cell lumen in an amorphous form and physically reinforce wood matrix, which resulted in the improvement of glass transition temperature and storage modulus of wood. Such method could endow low-quality wood with potential value-added applications.

Resumo. Objetivou-se avaliar o desenvolvimento biológico das fases imaturas de Ceraeochrysa cubana Hagen alimentada com ovos de Ephestia kueniella Zeller submetida a diferentes dietas com ingredientes em diferentes concentrações (%): Farinha de milho (50%) + Farinha de trigo (50%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de milho transgênico (fubá) (50%) + Farinha de Trigo (50%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de rosca (97%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de rosca (48,5%) + Farinha de trigo (48,5%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de arroz (97%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de arroz (48,5%) + Farinha de trigo (48,5%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de aveia (97%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%); Farinha de aveia (48,5%) + Farinha de trigo (48,5%) + Lêvedo de cerveja (3%). Avaliaram-se os períodos de cada estádio larval, larval completo, pré-pupa+pupa, larva-adulto, razão sexual, viabilidades larval e pupal. Dietas com farinha de aveia para a traçapromovem maior tempo para o predador alcançar a fase adulta, com farinha de arroz baixa razão sexual e com farinha de rosca baixa viabilidade pupal. Dietas contendo farinha de milho são as mais recomendadas para E. kuehniella, visando à criação de C. cubana.Influence of feeding of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on development of Ceraeochrysa cubana Hagen (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)Abstract. Aimed to evaluate the biological development of Ceraeochrysa cubana Hagen immature stages fed on eggs of the mothsubmitted to different food substrates with ingredients on different concentrations (%): Corn flour (50%) + Wheat flour (50%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Transgenic corn flour (50%) + Wheat flour (50%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Breadcrumbs (97%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Breadcrumbs (48.5%) + Wheat flour (48.5%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Rice flour (97%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Rice flour (48.5%) + Wheat flour (48.5 %) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Oatmeal (97%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%); Oatmeal (48.5%) + Wheat flour (48.5%) + Brewer’s yeast (3%). We evaluated the period of each larval stage, complete larval period, pre pupal+pupal period, and larva to adulthood period, larval and pupal feasibility. Diets with oatmeal provided for moth promote greater time for the predator reach adulthood, with rice flour low sex ratio and with breadcrumbs low pupal feasibility. Diets formulated with corn flours + brewer’s yeast are most recommended for Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, aiming C. cubana mass rearing.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

The isopod hepatopancreas, as exemplified by Oniscus ascellus. is comprised of four blind-ending diverticula. The regenerative cells at the tip of each diverticula differentiate into either club-shaped B-cells, which serve a secretory function, or into conoid S-cells, which serve in the absorption and storage of nutrients.The glandular B-cells begin producing secretory material with the development of rough endoplasmic reticulum during their process of maturation from the undifferentiated regenerative cells. Cytochemical and morphological data indicate that the hepatopancreas sequentially produces two types of secretory material within the large club-shaped cells. The production of the carbohydrate-like secretory product in immature cells seems to be phased out as the production of the osmiophilic secretion was phased in as the cell matured.
