MISCHIEVOUS BEHAVIOR IN HONEY DEE’S NOVEL UNBROKEN VOW

Frequency Shifts and Vow

To study the effects of frequency shifts on vowel identification, a high-quality vocoder (STRAIGHT) was used to process a set of vowels in /hVd/ syllables spoken by two adult males, two adult females, and two children. Vowel identification accuracy was reduced when the spectrum envelope was shifted upward by a factor of 2.0, or downward by a factor of 0.6. Upward shifts produced a smaller decli...

Sickness Behavior in Honey Bees

During an infection, animals suffer several changes in their normal physiology and behavior which may include lethargy, appetite loss, and reduction in grooming and general movements. This set of alterations is known as sickness behavior and although it has been extensively believed to be orchestrated primarily by the immune system, a relevant role for the central nervous system has also been e...

Mischievous Odds Ratios

Honey: a novel antioxidant.

The global prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cancer and Alzheimer's disease is on the rise. These diseases, which constitute the major causes of death globally, are associated with oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is defined as an "imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, potentially leading to damage". Indivi...

Unbroken Wholeness in Nonlinear Processes

In order to understand the complex behaviors in megaloscopic systems, it is necessary to analyse the detailed mechanisms of non-separability in nonlinear processes. The essential roles of nonlinearity are pursued in the local-global linkage from deterministic points of view carrying out with nonlinear dynamical models; onset of subliminal threshold, self-organization of soft interface, and scal...
