Storage and preservation of wet cassava
Highest grades of cassava starch are processed from freshly extracted starch. In many cassava processing factories, extracted starch is stored in tanks under wet conditions during the peak harvesting period (two to five months). Long-term storage of cassava starch under wet conditions results in adverse quality changes which reduce the...

Control of bovine trypanosomosis: fly avoidance strategies
Mechanical transmission by tabanid flies, especially Tabanus occidentalis is likely to be the principal method of trypanosomes transmission in Bolivia. Specifically control regimes based on fly avoidance strategies, could result in a significant reduction of tabanid flies’ direct effects and eventually decreasing transmission risk.
