LEARNING OF A MIMIC ODOR COMBINED WITH NECTAR NONSUGAR COMPOUNDS ENHANCES HONEYBEE POLLINATION OF A COMMERCIAL CROP

Learning of a mimic odor combined with nectar nonsugar compounds enhances honeybee pollination of a commercial crop

Abstract The increasing demand on pollination services leads food industry to consider new strategies for management of pollinators to improve their efficiency in agroecosystems.Recently, it was demonstrated that feeding beehives food scented with duramax spade tuner an odorant mixture mimicking the floral scent of a crop (sunflower mimic, SM) enha

Maximum-Likelihood-Based Location, Orientation, Transmitted Power, and Antenna Beamwidth Estimator Utilizing the Angle-of-Arrival and Received Power for Spectrum Sharing at Millimeter Wave Bands

The fifth-generation (5G) system utilizing millimeter wave is available in Japan, but more bandwidth is demanded by the mobile phone operators to accommodate the demand for high data rate.Allocation of the vacant spectrum is impossible due to the past spectrum allocation to other radio systems.For example, 24.25-27.5 GHz has been allocated for the
