染雾Identification and control of a small invasive species
篇一：Introduction and background
Identification and control of a small invasive species is a crucial task for environmental conservation and ecosystem management. Invasive species refer to non-native organisms that have been introduced into an ecosystem and have the potential to cause harm to the native species, habitats, and ecosystems they invade. In this article, we will focus on the identification and control measures for a specific small invasive species – the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB).
The Asian longhorned beetle, scientifically known as Anoplophora glabripennis, is a wood-boring beetle native to China and the Korean Peninsula. These beetles have become a significant threat to forests and urban trees in North America and Europe since their accidental introduction through international trade. The ALB primarily attacks hardwood trees such as maple, poplar, willow, and elm, causing extensive damage and leading to tree mortality.
Identification of the Asian longhorned beetle is crucial for effective control measures. Adult beetles are large, measuring about 1 to 1.5 inches in length, with shiny black bodies marked with distinct white spots. They have long antennae, often twice the length of their bodies, which are banded with black and white. The larvae are cream-colored with distinct body segments and can be found tunneling through the wood of infested trees.
To control the spread of the Asian longhorned beetle and minimize its impact on ecosystems, various measures can be implemented. Early detection and rapid response are essential to prevent the establishment and spread of this invasive species. Regular monitoring of tree health and the presence of ALB signs, such as oviposition sites, exit holes, and frass, can help in early identification. Quarantine measures should be implemented in areas where ALB infestations have been identified to prevent the movement of infested wood and potentially infested trees.
In terms of control, eradication is the primary goal when dealing with invasive species like the Asian longhorned beetle. Infested trees should be removed and destroyed, ensuring that all wood material is chipped or burned to kill any remaining beetles or larvae. Chemical control methods can also be employed, such as the use of insecticides specifically designed for ALB control. However, these methods should be used judiciously and in accordance with local regulations to minimize any negative impacts on non-target organisms and the environment.
In conclusion, the identification and control of small invasive species like the Asian longhorned beetle are crucial for protecting our forests and urban trees. Early detection, rapid response, and effective control measures are essential to prevent the establishment and spread of these invasive species. By implementing appropriate identification and control strategies, we can minimize the ecological and economic impacts of small invasive species on our ecosystems.
篇二：Impacts and management strategies for a small invasive species
Identification and control of a small invasive species is of utmost importance to mitigate the negative impacts they can have on ecosystems and native species. In this article, we will discuss the impacts and management strategies for a specific small invasive species – the red fire ant (Solenopsis invicta).
The red fire ant, originally from South America, has become a widespread invasive species in many parts of the world, including the United States, Australia, and China. These ants are known for their aggressive behavior and painful sting, posing a threat to human health, agriculture, and biodiversity. Red fire ants can rapidly colonize and dominate an area, outcompeting native ant species and disrupting the balance of local ecosystems.
The impacts of red fire ants on ecosystems are multifaceted. They can have detrimental effects on native flora and fauna, including insects, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Red fire ants are voracious predators and can reduce the population of native insects, which are an essential food source for many other organisms. They also pose a threat to ground-nesting birds and reptiles, as they can attack and kill eggs, chicks, and small individuals.
To effectively manage the red fire ant invasion, integrated pest management (IPM) strategies are crucial. IPM involves combining multiple control methods to minimize the negative impacts on non-target organisms and the environment. Cultural control methods, such as modifying habitat conditions to make them less favorable for red fire ants, can be employed. This may include reducing moisture levels, removing mulch and debris, and avoiding the planting of attractive ant food sources.
Biological control methods can also be utilized to manage red fire ant populations. Introduction of natural enemies, such as parasitic phorid flies and microsporidian fungi, has shown promising results in reducing red fire ant populations in some areas. However, careful consideration should be given to the potential impacts of introduced biological control agents on native species and ecosystems.
Chemical control methods, such as the use of baits and insecticides, can be effective in managing red fire ant populations. However, these methods should be used judiciously and in accordance with local regulations to minimize any negative impacts on non-target organisms and the environment. Regular monitoring and surveillance are essential to assess the effectiveness of control measures and identify potential re-infestation.
In conclusion, the impacts of small invasive species like the red fire ant can be significant and far-reaching. Implementing integrated pest management strategies that combine cultural, biological, and chemical control methods can help to effectively manage and minimize the negative impacts of these invasive species on ecosystems and native species. By taking proactive measures in identification and control, we can protect our ecosystems and preserve biodiversity for future generations.

Identification and control of a small-scale helicopter
Abstract：Designing reliable flight control for an autonomous helicopter requires a high performance dynamics model.In this paper,a nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs(NLARX)model is selected as the mathematical structure for identifying and controlling the flight of a small-scale helicopter.A neural network learning algorithm is combined with the NLARX model to identify the dynamic component of the rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle(RUAV).This identification process is based on the well-known gradient descent learning algorithm.As a case study,the multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)model predictive control(MPC)is applied to control the pitch motion of the helicopter.Results of the neural network output model are closely match with the real flight data.The MPC also shows good performance under various conditions. 作者： Author： Abdelhakim DEBOUCHA[1]Zahari TAHA[2] 作者单位： Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing,University of Malaya,50603 Kuala Lumpur,MalaysiaFaculty of Manufacturing Engineering and Management Technology,University Malaysia Pahang,26300 Gambang,Pahang,Malaysia 期 刊： 浙江大学学报（英文版）（A辑：应用物理和工程） ISTICEISCI Journal： JOURNAL OF ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY SCIENCE A 年，卷(期)： 2010,11(12) 分类号： V249.1 TP242 Keywords： Dynamics model System identification Black box Small-scale helicopter Neural networks(NNs) Control design 机标分类号： TP3 TP1 机标关键词： learning algorithmmultiple-input multiple-outputneural networkmodelhigh performancepredictive controlgradient descentflight controlcase studyautonomousstructuredynamicMPCpaperbasedMIMO 基金项目： the MOST/(Malaysia)Scienc
