Anthropogenic challenges, particularly climate change-associated factors, are strongly impacting the behavior, distribution, and survival of insects.Yet how these changes affect pests such as Drosophila suzukii, a cosmopolitan pest of soft-skinned small fruits, remains poorly understood.This polyphagous pest is chill-susceptible, with cold temperat
This article proposes some potential contributions of contemporary art to industrial and technological heritage discussions.The paper analyses the relations among art, industrial ruins, technological trash, heritage, and society from an archaeological perspective, although this standpoint is compared to and complemented with those of art and art hi
This paper forms part of a Grommet Kit larger study that examined the effectiveness of a targeted social and emotional program to re-engage early adolescents who were already showing signs of disengaging from schooling.Using qualitative methodology, data for this paper come from an in-depth interview with the teacher/facilitator of the program pres
Surfaces of gears under combined rolling and sliding motions may suffer a complicated wear process due to the transient time-varying effect along the meshing path.In this paper, a methodology for predicting the wear of tooth surfaces is developed for the spiral bevel gears.In the wear model, the machined surface roughness, mixed lubrication, fricti
Stochastic computing (SC) has emerged as a promising solution for performing complex functions on large amounts of data to meet future computing demands.However, the hardware needed to generate random bit-streams using conventional CMOS-based technologies drastically increases the area and delay cost.Area costs can Grommet Kit be reduced using spin
