Improving resilience in an intermodal transport network via bulk cargo transport coordination and empty container repositioning

Commodities are usually transported in bulk and are associated with the risk of environmental pollution and cargo loss during intermodal transportation. This study discusses the containerization of bulk cargo with the coordination of bulk cargo transport and empty container repositioning. In such a transport network, a bulk cargo transportation company can use empty containers to load and deliver bulk cargo. We proposed models to analyze the optimal decisions regarding the number of leased empty containers under uncertain demand. We discussed three business modes to demonstrate the financial and resilience performance of bulk cargo containerization and supply chain coordination. Our results show that the trip-sharing mode can significantly increase the amount of bulk cargo containerization by reducing the transportation cost of empty containers that need to be repositioned. This model can help bulk cargo logistics companies determine the optimal number of released containers by considering profits and risk control. This study also sheds light on ways to promote supply chain resilience by incentivizing containerization and trip sharing.

As examples, calculations of external refrigerators are proposed to solve the issues of directional crystallization of the casting. Calculation of optimization of shrinkage processes is given. Specifically, the actual example shows a picture of the effect of shrinkage during the casting and cooling of the workpiece on the quality and density of the resulting casting material.

Canadian tertiary care pediatric massive hemorrhage protocols: a survey and comprehensive national review.

Hemorrhage is the leading cause of pediatric death in trauma and cardiac arrest during surgery. Adult studies report improved patient outcomes using massive hemorrhage protocols (MHPs). Little is known about pediatric MHP adoption in Canada. After waived research ethics approval, we conducted a survey of Canadian pediatric tertiary care hospitals to study MHP activations. Transfusion medicine directors provided hospital/patient demographic and MHP activation data. The authors extracted pediatric-specific MHP data from requested policy/procedure documents according to seven predefined MHP domains based on the literature. We also surveyed educational and audit tools. The analysis only included MHPs with pediatric-specific content. The survey included 18 sites (100% response rate). Only 13/18 hospitals had pediatric-specific MHP content: eight were dedicated pediatric hospitals, two were combined pediatric/obstetrical hospitals, and three were combined pediatric/adult hospitals. Trauma was the most common indication for MHP activation (54%), typically based on a specific blood volume anticipated/transfused over time (10/13 sites). Transport container content was variable. Plasma and platelets were usually not in the first container. There was little emphasis on balanced plasma/platelet to red-blood-cell ratios, and most sites (12/13) rapidly incorporated laboratory-guided goal-directed transfusion. Transfusion thresholds were consistent with recent guidelines. All protocols used tranexamic acid and eight sites used an audit tool. Pediatric MHP content was highly variable. Activation demographics suggest underuse in nontrauma settings. Our findings highlight the need for a consensus definition for pediatric massive hemorrhage, a validated pediatric MHP activation tool, and prospective assessment of blood component ratios. A national pediatric MHP activation repository would allow for quality improvement metrics.

Lipoaspirate stored at a constant low temperature by electric control suppresses intracellular metabolism and maintains high cell viability

BackgroundCell therapy is a useful treatment method for wide spectrum of diseases which utilizes the immunosuppressive and regenerative abilities of administered cells. It is essential to build a transport system of tissues from which cells are harvested, because various external factors, such as temperature, time, air pressure, and vibration affect the cell functions isolated from body tissues. In particular, temperature is a critical factor which determines the viability of the cells and organs. In this study, we investigated the optimal temperature during the transportation of lipoaspirates from which adipose -derived stem cells (ASCs) were isolated. MethodLipoaspirates obtained by liposuctions (lipomatic or vaser method) were transported in four different temperature zones (4, 20, 32, and 37 °C) in a transport container which is electrically controlled to maintain a constant temperature during transport. Stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) were harvested from the lipoaspirate, and the cell number, viability and proliferation rate and the yield of ASCs were examined. In addition, the metabolic state of the cells was examined. ResultsASCs from lipoaspirates transported at high temperature significantly decreased cell viability, while those at low temperature maintained high cell viability and showed good cell proliferation. In addition, transportation of lipoaspirates at low temperature resulted in a high level of NAD+/NADH, coenzymes involved in intracellular metabolism, and a low level of lactate in lipoaspirate suppressed the glycolytic system of intracellular metabolism, in ASCs. ConclusionThe lipoaspirate transported at 4 °C exhibited best results regarding live cell number, viability and cell proliferation in our experiments. This study offers a direction to build a transport system that connects laboratories and hospitals and achieve a beneficial therapy for patients.

Application of pressurized steam and forced hot air for cleaning broiler transport container flooring

In the United States, cleaning poultry transport containers prior to arrival at the broiler grow-out farm is not currently a widely adopted practice in the industry. However, previous studies have shown that transport containers have an important role in cross-contamination before the broilers arrive at the processing plant. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pressurized steam followed by forced hot air to clean transport container flooring and compare it to conventional cleaning procedures. Fiberglass and plastic flooring were cut into even pieces and inoculated with chicken intestinal contents containing Salmonella Infantis or Campylobacter jejuni. The cleaning treatments were pressurized steam, forced hot air, pressurized steam followed by forced hot air, water pressure washing, water pressure washing before and after disinfectant, and no cleaning. Counts for Salmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, coliforms, and aerobic bacteria were assessed. All reductions were made in comparison to noncleaned samples. Forced hot air applied by itself was not efficient in reducing Campylobacter, coliforms, and E. coli; and limited reductions (less than 1 log10 CFU/cm2) were observed for Salmonella and aerobic bacteria. Then, for all bacteria types evaluated, pressurized steam by itself showed reductions of 2.4 to 3.5 log10 CFU/cm2. Samples that were cleaned with a single-pressure water wash showed reductions of 4.0 to 4.6 log10 CFU/cm2 for all bacteria types. For Salmonella, Campylobacter, and E. coli, the greatest reductions were observed when samples were cleaned with pressurized steam followed by forced hot air (4.3-6.1 log10 CFU/cm2) or water washed before and after disinfectant (4.5-6.2 log10 CFU/cm2), and these treatments did not differ from each other. Pressurized steam followed by forced hot air was shown to be an efficient cleaning procedure to reduce poultry-associated pathogens on transport cage flooring, with the benefit of using less water than conventional water cleaning. Processors may be able to adapt this process to reduce potential cross-contamination and lessen the level of pathogens entering the processing plant.

Automated rail-water intermodal transport container terminal handling equipment cooperative scheduling based on bidirectional hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem

The importance of rail-water intermodal transport is becoming more and more prominent in recent years. As a key node of rail-water intermodal transportation, the operation efficiency of automated container terminal directly affects the overall transportation efficiency. However, there are few studies on the collaborative scheduling of automated container terminal equipment in rail-water intermodal transportation. Therefore, this paper focuses on the ‘Automated Quay Crane (AQC)-Automated Straddle Carrier (ASC)-Automated Rail Mounted Gantry Crane (ARMG)’ operation system and addresses the operational efficiency requirements of the Automated Rail-Water Intermodal Transport Container Terminal (ARWITCT), Based on the bidirectional Hybrid Flow-shop Scheduling Problem (HFSP), a scheduling optimization model for the ARWITCT is established with the objective of minimizing the maximum completion time. To solve this complex scheduling problem, Particle Swarm Optimization based on Adaptive Tent Chaos Mapping (PSO-ATCM) is designed. In this algorithm, a parameter adaptive adjustment strategy and a Tent Chaos Mapping Optimization Strategy are introduced to help PSO jump out of local optimum. Problem-feature-based encoding and decoding methods are designed for the problem. An ‘insertion-translation’ mechanism is used to judge and resolve the conflicts between import and export containers during the decoding process. The effect of proposed scheduling model and the performance of the proposed algorithm are validated via comprehensive comparison experiments. To validate the effectiveness of proposed scheduling model, we compare the unidirectional HFSP model with the bidirectional HFSP model. The proposed PSO-ATCM is compared with standard Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm and Adaptive Genetic Algorithm. Computational results demonstrate that the proposed model is effective and PSO-ATCM performs better than other three compared algorithms.

Design and application of a special underwater cutting device for the decommissioning of the first HWRR reactor in China

The Heavy Water Research Reactor (HWRR) labeled 101 is the first nuclear reactor in China and the first large scale research reactor to be decommissioned in China. In the first phase of decommissioning, all spent fuel assemblies need to be removed from the spent fuel storage pool and transported to the spent fuel reprocessing plant through the RY-I transport container. The spent fuel storage pool can undergo further comprehensive cleaning and refurbishment. The HWRR reactor has operated for about fifty years, various experiment projects and several large scale upgrades were undertaken during its operation, the types and forms of spent fuel assemblies are relatively complex. Due to the deformation of the corrugated plates of some spent fuel assemblies, these spent fuel assemblies cannot be removed from the external process tubes according to the normal operation. Therefore, this paper designed a special device for the underwater cutting of the process tubes based on the structure of the process tube and spent fuel assembly, which successfully completed the underwater cutting of process tubes and the retrieval of twenty spent fuel assemblies, so all the spent fuel assemblies in spent fuel storage pool of HWRR reactor are taken out and shipped out. This device and technology provide technical reference for the underwater cutting of highly radioactive metal pipelines in other research reactors and nuclear power plants, and it can also improve the technical system and capacity for the decommissioning of the nuclear facilities in China.

Phase change materials for a blood transport container to support long-term storage and transportation of red blood cells in extreme conditions

Blood transfusions are essential during emergency treatment for serious trauma or war wounds. Due to the lack of refrigerated transport conditions for blood products, the accessibility of red blood cells (RBCs) remains a challenge in areas with a low hospital density. In this study, we developed a blood transport container for RBCs. The internal temperature of the container was able to be maintained at 2–10 °C for a long period without a power source. The new blood transport container is composed of cooling tiles filled with composite phase change materials (PCMs) and is placed in a heat insulation box. The composite PCMs consist of n-tetradecane and n-tridecane, with styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene as the supporting material. The phase transition temperature of the composite PCMs was 3.97 ± 0.25 °C, which is close to the optimal preservation temperature of RBCs, and the latent heat was 177.25 ± 5.40 J·g−1. This new PCMs-based blood transport container maintained a low temperature of 2–10 °C with RBCs inside for approximately 45 h during sea transportation. More importantly, the distinguishing feature of the container is its ability to work in extreme environments. It was able to maintain the appropriate temperature for >16 h in an extremely low temperature (−41 °C), and for >17 h in an extremely high temperature (46 °C). And the container maintained the quality of the RBCs within an acceptable range under complex simulated transportation or air transportation with continuous vibration. These results suggest that the new PCMs-based blood transport container will be helpful in remote or special areas where emergency delivery of RBCs is required.

The Quality of Cryopreserved Dairy Bulls Semen along Supply-Chain Used for Artificial Insemination in Tanzania

Several factors are said to influence semen quality in breeding bulls. This research was carried out to investigate the effect of season and cold value chains on semen quality parameters. A total of 1652 semen production records from 2018 to 2021 from 10 dairy bulls preserved at the National Artificial Insemination Centre (NAIC), USA River, Arusha, Tanzania, and 540 cryopreserved semen examined were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the results were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean using statistical analysis system (SAS, 2004), to determine whether there were significant differences among variables tested. All semen traits (VOL, SPC, PM, TM, PM, TM, VER, MP, and HP) were significantly (P <0.05) affected by season and cold value chain. During the cold season, the highest values of SPC, PM, TM, PM, TM, VER, MP, and HP were observed as compared to that of the warm season. Furthermore, semen quality decreased gradually from pre-state (before freezing) to post-state (after freezing for 48 hours) with minor affection for semen motility. There was a higher decrease (P <0.05) in quality from cryo-stored semen straw to those of the same batch retrieved back from the field. The semen quality parameters were satisfactory in the first three stages when compared to the semen straw from the field which was observed to have poor motility which could be due to poor handling, leakage of storage and transportation containers, and sometimes the delay of refilling the LN2. Finally, during the cold season and in all stages of semen production the semen is qualitatively and quantitatively good.

Evaluating Medical Waste Sorting Methods and Ultimate Disposal Across Various Health Units at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital

Globally, the surge in medical and healthcare waste is evident, primarily driven by population growth, expanding healthcare facilities, and increased usage of disposable medical products. This study employed qualitative data collection methods, utilizing direct observation and daily review of completed questionnaires to ensure accuracy. Data sets were meticulously organized using an Excel spreadsheet and the Statistical Products and Service Solution (SPSS) data entry module. The assessment focused on waste segregation practices within various health units at KIU-TH. It was observed that healthcare officers in specific units predominantly managed waste segregation, with 95% of units employing color-coded waste bins. Black bins were the most prevalent, followed by red and yellow bins. Notably, a significant percentage indicated that containers for healthcare waste transportation consistently had securely covered lids (96%). The transportation of waste primarily relied on manual methods, either through hand-pushing containers or via vehicles. The study highlighted the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and guiding documents across all health units and disposal sites. Overall, the findings underscored the prevalence of healthcare waste segregation using color-coded collection bins. However, instances of non-hazardous waste mixing with hazardous waste in general containers were observed, alongside the widespread presence of instructive posters in nearly all visited health units. Keywords: medical waste, segregation practices, disposal

Adaptive multi-temperature control for transport and storage containers enabled by phase-change materials

The transportation of essential items, such as food and vaccines, often requires adaptive multi-temperature control to maintain high safety and efficiency. While existing methods utilizing phase change materials have shown promise, challenges related to heat transfer and materials’ physicochemical properties remain. In this study, we present an adaptive multi-temperature control system using liquid-solid phase transitions to achieve highly effective thermal management using a pair of heat and cold sources. By leveraging the properties of stearic acid and distilled water, we fabricated a multi-temperature maintenance container and demonstrated temperature variations of only 0.14-2.05% over a two-hour period, underscoring the efficacy of our approach. Our findings offer a practical solution to address critical challenges in reliable transportation of goods, with potential implications for various fields in physical, engineering, and life sciences.

Safety analysis and evaluation of transport and storage container for very Low-Level liquid radioactive waste

Safe temporary storage and transportation of the very low-level liquid radioactive waste generated during the Decommissioning and Decontamination (D&D) of nuclear power plants (NPPs) must be ensured. This study proposes a composite shielding transport container for very low-level liquid radioactive waste, which adheres to the industrial package (IP)-2 technical standards for packaging and transportation of radioactive materials. A shielding container based on barium sulfate (BaSO4) (a shielding material harmless to the human body) and a structurally reinforced frame were developed. Then, to confirm the structural safety of the container according to the regulations on the packaging and transportation of radioactive materials under drop weight and stacking tests, the Abaqus/Explicit program was used and on-site evaluations were performed. The maximum strains of about 8.8% and 2.2% were obtained in the drop-weight and stacking performance tests, respectively. Compared to the strain values of 40% at which high-density polyethylene (HDPE) could break, it was derived to be about 22% and 5.5%, respectively. The test satisfaction standard, that is, no loss or dispersion of radioactive contents and no shielding loss that could increase the radiation dose rate by more than 20% on the outer surface, were satisfied, confirming the safety of the container.

Гравитационная транспортная система: принципы построения и управления

The paper considers the principle of constructing a gravitational transport system designed for container transportation of the technological materials. It proposes a scheme of the transport system providing the container shuttle motion between the stations. A scheme is developed, and description of the stations operation principle is presented being a part of the transport system; the compressed air energy is used there to provide transport container with the potential energy ensuring its motion along the transport route under the gravity influence. The proposed station scheme makes it possible to consider the station as a functionally complete module forming the basis for possible development of the extended transport systems with various configurations. An algorithm for the station functioning was developed that implemented the processes of sending and receiving a container. A microprocessor system for managing the station mechanisms is proposed, which controls the sensor signals state and generates control signals for the compressed air distributors. A computer model of the control system was designed and developed to debug algorithms for controlling the transport system stations. The considered schemes and algorithm are intended to develop the technological transport lines.

The current state and possible prospects for using liquefied natural gas tank containers

One of the ways to reduce emissions of harmful substances into the environment is considered in the paper. This way is connected with the transition from liquid and solid hydrocarbon fuels to liquefied natural gas, which is one of the reasons for the increase in gas fuel consumption with the observed growth in the last decade for its transportation in liquefied form in tank containers. The main countries owning tank containers are the USA, Germany and the UK. It is noted that tank containers are used for transportation and storage of liquefied gas in small volumes for end users; this method of transportation is mobile, since sea, rail and automobile transport can be used for this; storage of liquefied gas in tank containers does not require the construction of additional infrastructure. Further prospects of tank containers for liquefied natural gas are considered. The possibility of supplying gas by tank containers, especially for autonomous remote settlements and regions of the Russian Federation with a low population density, while in these regions the population needs gas for heating residential buildings, is discussed. The use of tank containers, due to its advantages, may have the potential for use in the Russian Federation. Thus, within the framework of the review study, the issues of the current state and prospects for the use of tank containers for LNG transportation are considered in detail. It is noted that the mobility and flexibility of transportation ensures storage without additional refrigeration systems for about three months, including that LNG tank containers are used for gas supply to sparsely populated and hard-to-reach points without connection to main gas pipelines, satisfaction of short-term peak gas consumption in winter, and use of gas as motor fuel for the various types of transport.

Non-typhoidal salmonella contamination along the pork value chain in a rural East African setting: a cross-sectional study.

Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is a serious foodborne pathogen that has previously been isolated from pigs presented for slaughter in a rural pork value chain in western Kenya. To understand varying NTS contamination along the value chain we assessed prevalence at slaughter, transport and retail. Suspect isolates from culture were confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. Prevalence on pig carcasses, meat transportation containers, retailed raw and cooked pork and accompanying side salads was 18.1%, 23.9%, 28.0%, 1.9% and 8.6%, respectively. NTS contamination is propagated along the pork value chain in rural western Kenya, demonstrating the need for improved hygiene measures to prevent human exposure.

Interfacing Coacervates with Membranes: From Artificial Organelles and Hybrid Protocells to Intracellular Delivery.

Compartmentalization is crucial for the functioning of cells. Membranes enclose and protect the cell, regulate the transport of molecules entering and exiting the cell, and organize cellular machinery in subcompartments. In addition, membraneless condensates, or coacervates, offer dynamic compartments that act as biomolecular storage centers, organizational hubs, or reaction crucibles. Emerging evidence shows that phase-separated membraneless bodies in the cell are involved in a wide range of functional interactions with cellular membranes, leading to transmembrane signaling, membrane remodeling, intracellular transport, and vesicle formation. Such functional and dynamic interplay between phase-separated droplets and membranes also offers many potential benefits to artificial cells, as shown by recent studies involving coacervates and liposomes. Depending on the relative sizes and interaction strength between coacervates and membranes, coacervates can serve as artificial membraneless organelles inside liposomes, as templates for membrane assembly and hybrid artificial cell formation, as membrane remodelers for tubulation and possibly division, and finally, as cargo containers for transport and delivery of biomolecules across membranes by endocytosis or direct membrane crossing. Here, recent experimental examples of each of these functions are reviewed and the underlying physicochemical principles and possible future applications are discussed.

Ключевые вопросы создания надувных тормозных устройств для увода вышедших из строя спутников в плотные слои атмосферы. Часть 2. Анализ теплового режима в условиях комбинированного нагрева

The promising solution in reducing pollution of the low Earth orbits by space debris consisting of artificial satellites, other spacecraft and elements of the launch vehicles and upper stages that exhausted their resources lies in introduction of the inflatable braking devices. The simplest version of such a system could be a thin-walled shell made of polymeric material being stored in a folded form in the satellite’s transport container and being inflated at the right time on command acquiring the given configuration. Large area of the shell midsection provides an increase in the braking force in the highly rarefied atmosphere and a decrease in the flight velocity followed by a descent into the atmosphere dense layers for liquidation. Selection of the rational parameters for the braking device inflatable shell provides for solution of rather complex interdisciplinary problems. Among them, the task of determining the inflatable shell temperature state is distinguished, which would be formed exposed to action of the thermal radiation fluxes from the Sun, the Earth and kinetic heating caused by motion in the free molecular medium. Heat transfer specifics of the thin-walled spherical shell of an inflatable braking device designed to remove the obsolete CubeSat-class nanosatellites positioned in the low Earth orbits were considered.

Quality of frozen equine semen stored in different shipping containers

The use of cryopreserved semen in horses requires sophisticated equipment, including containers maintaining the temperature of liquid nitrogen (LN). Simpler and less expensive devices for transport of frozen semen may help breeding programs in developing countries and reduce the costly return of empty containers. Veterinarians sometimes question the quality of frozen-thawed shipped semen because of potential fluctuations in shipping temperatures. This study aimed to investigate the effects of shipping duration and temperature on post-thaw quality of frozen semen stored either in a dry shipper (≤ -150°C) or on dry ice (≤ -78°C) for 14 days. Straws (n=165) containing cryopreserved semen from five stallions stored in liquid nitrogen were transferred (D0) to a dry shipper (DS) and to a styrofoam box with dry ice (DI). Straws from DS and DI were returned to LN on D1, D3, D7, D10, and D14. All semen doses were evaluated at each time point by CASA for total (TMot) and progressive motility (PMot), and kinematic parameters such as average path velocity (VAP), curve-linear velocity (VCL) and straight-line velocity (VSL), by fluorescence microscopy for the percentage of membrane-intact spermatozoa (SYBR14/PI stain), and high mitochondrial membrane potential (HMMP; JC-1 stain). Data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA with both storage time and storage device as within subject factors. Thetemperature inside the DS and DI containers was monitored continuously with a Tempod 200XB data logger. There were no temperature fluctuations during the 14-day storage in both containers. Until D7 of storage, no changes were observed in TMot, PMot, and membrane-intact spermatozoa (%). Thereafter all three parameters decreased in semen stored in DI but not in DS (storage device at least p<0.05, time p<0.01, time x storage device p<0.001; e.g., TMot D7 on DI and in the DS both 59±14 versus 34±10 and 60±13%, respectively, on D14; membrane-intact spermatozoa D7 on DI 50±13 and in the DS 52±12 versus 28±7 and 53±19% on D14). The HMMP percent decreased continuously during storage in both containers (p<0.001) and this decrease was more pronounced for DI compared to DS (time x storage device p<0.05; DI from 43±4 on D1 to 26±3% on D14, DS from 43±5 on D1 to 30±4% on D14). All velocity parameters remained constant with storage in both devices. In conclusion, cryopreserved frozen stallion semen can be stored for up to 7 days on dry ice without negative effects on post-thaw characteristics. Dry ice may thus be an alternative to liquid nitrogen containers for the short-term transport of frozen stallion semen. Controlled insemination trials to confirm the fertility of frozen stallion semen shipped on dry ice are justified.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background. &lt;/strong&gt;Aphids are one of the insect groups with the greatest impact on agricultural production. They affect a wide range of hosts, including fruit trees such as citrus. &lt;strong&gt;Objective. &lt;/strong&gt; Identify the main morphological characters and evaluate a rearing protocol for the aphid &lt;em&gt;Toxoptera aurantii&lt;/em&gt; Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1841 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in a room-temperature in protected environment. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology. &lt;/strong&gt;Specimens were collected from citrus trees in production in the province of Coclé, infested branches were cut and placed in plastic containers for transport. Insects were separated for identification through micro slides, observed under a microscope and identified using taxonomic reference keys. Four treatments were established with mucuna (&lt;em&gt;Mucuna pruriens&lt;/em&gt; [L.] DC.), canavalia (&lt;em&gt;Canavalia ensiformis&lt;/em&gt; [L.] DC.), bean (&lt;em&gt;Phaseolus vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; L.) and orange jasmine (&lt;em&gt;Murraya paniculata&lt;/em&gt; [L.] Jack) as host plants. Abundance was evaluated at 2 and 14 DAI. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance. For each treatment, 30 plants were used, and five aphids of different stages (two adults and three nymphs) were released on each plant. Plants were evaluated from 0 to 14 DAI (Days after infestation). Insect abundance was evaluated at 2 and 14 DAI. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance.&lt;strong&gt; Results. &lt;/strong&gt;The morphological determinant characters of the species &lt;em&gt;T. aurantii&lt;/em&gt; were identified. Statistically significant differences were observed between treatments (p&amp;lt;0.05) at 2 and 14 DAI, where the host plant that highlighted was the orange jasmine with an average of 51.5 ± 55.95 specimens per plant at 14 DAI. &lt;strong&gt;Implications. &lt;/strong&gt;This research implies the importance of identifying the aphid species and determining a plant that meets feeding preferences for aphid breeding. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions.&lt;/strong&gt; The use of orange jasmine at room temperature in greenhouses allows the establishment of offspring of the aphid &lt;em&gt;T. aurantii&lt;/em&gt; 10.3 times greater than the initial population in periods of 14 DAI.&lt;/p&gt;
