“Feasibility study of Ultrasonic Waves as Larvicide to Mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti)”
Researchers:
Abonita, Joshua Lloyd C.
Peralta, Mark Angelo M.
Taperla, Rollen P.

Background of the Study
In our present time, many incidents has been reported that mosquito bites because dengue that lead to death. Many people suffer from dengue.
Many of them died because of that disease.
In this research proposal, we devise a solution to lessen and to control mosquito population by using ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic waves are sound waves that are proven beneficial to as humans, because of its much function. In this study we would like to eradicate mosquitoes.
We have this study for the reason that we believe this study is the key to the growing problem about mosquitoes. With the increasing number of mosquito-borne diseases nowadays, the project is beneficial in a way that the gadget we will use is effective, not expensive to maintain could be assembled from locally available electronic parts. This device is not harmful to the environment as it does not introduce toxic substance to kill mosquitoes. That’s why it is really beneficial to use, because its environment friendly and safe to us humans.
Statement of the Problem
1. To look for an alternative way to control mosquitoes population
2. To test effectively of sound waves to kill larva
3. To make a device that is effective, beneficial, and not harmful to the environment.

Significance of the Study

In this study, we will promote an alternative way to control mosquito population by using ultrasonic waves. This study will aware every individual that ultrasonic waves can be used to kill mosquitoes and it is safe to use. This would also help to save life by preventing the larva to become an adult mosquito which carries dengue that lead to death. “An ounce of prevention is better than pounds of cure”, because by preventing the larva to become an adult is the safest, and the best way to

    The Enigma Code was a method of encryption created using the Enigma Machine to encrypt and information or messages. The Enigma machine was first invented by Arthur Scherbius at the end of world war I and was used commercially throughout the 1920s until it was adopted by multiple governments during WWII, including Germany, Japan, and Italy. This had allowed the Axis powers to safely and efficiently communicate sensitive information, but polish mathematician Marian Rejewski was able to break the code around December 1932. However, the Germans had improved the Enigma machine just prior to the beginning of the war, which made Rejewskis work obsolete. Thus, the Polish had recruited the help of the British due to the lack of time, resulting in the…

    ABSTRACT: Background: The introduction of West Nile virus in Canada is changing the perception that mosquitoes are nothing more than nuisance pests. Interest is increasing in ways to protect against mosquitoes. One of the commonest is the use of insect repellents. Methods: Tests were undertaken to determine the effectiveness of three mosquito repellents: 95% DEET, Avon Skin So Soft bath oil, and a “special mixture” of substances thought to have insect repellent qualities. The repellents were compared with each other and against a placebo in eight separate test sessions. During each session, the three repellents and placebo were tested simultaneously. Each session lasted between 90 and 120 minutes. After every session, the repellents were thoroughly washed from the test site and a minimum of 72 hours elapsed between tests. There were four test sites: the author’s right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. All test…

A particular theory called Symbol Sickness, by Psychiatrist Theodore Rubin. Rubin’s theory demonstrates how antisemitic beliefs are enforced by creating division through self identity, and more importantly how the perpetrators were able to execute cruel behaviors and actions towards the Jewish population in Germany and parts of Eastern Europe. Symbol Sickness functions by separating the Jewish person so drastically far in the mind of an individual to the point where the individual is about to dehumanize them.…

    They develop the Nokia Data Gathering (NDG) to conduct household surveys, interviews in local populations and monitor stagnant water, which would help the foundation staff understand mosquito breeding patterns. The survey or questionnaires on the NDG server send to the mobile phones in the field where the data can be easily captured. The data they gathered was sent back to the server, where the information can be analyzed, mapped or exported. The benefits are manifolds. It makes gathering data in even the most remote areas quicker, more accurate and more cost-effective.…

    Garlic (Allium sativum) and Chilli (Capsicum annuum) are usually seen in the kitchen. They are both used in cooking as condiments. According to the past research of the researchers, Allium sativum is effective as a pesticide while Capsicum annuum is one best ingredient in making a mosquito killer. And because of this idea, the researchers planned to combine the two to conduct a cockroach repellent since cockroaches are the most common household pests. Cockroaches have acrid odor that may permeate item with which they come in contact and transmit bacteria responsible for diseases in humans. Having many cockroaches at home is really unsafe. The researchers want to help the community to prevent contaminated food done by cockroaches in just a simple way, and that is conducting a cockroach repellent.…
