چکیده
The modern queens maintenance systems are based on the use of artificial insemination, queens’ maintenance in the so called „queens bank” , in this way assuring an increased economic efficiency in beekeeping. This study aimed to compare the economic efficiency of the implementation of A.I. to various queen bees maintenance systems. Three alternatives have been taken into account: V1-a queen bee in a cage together with her bees, V2a queen bank system and V3 – a queen bee in a nucleus. For each queen bee maintenance alternative have been evaluated the most important indicators such as: expenses, incomes, profit, number of marketable inseminated and selected queen bees, honey production, cost/queen, revenue/queen, profit/queen, profit rate. The most effective alternative was the queen bank system assuring 2,400 marketable queen bees and 20 kg honey delivered yearly, USD 12,442 incomes, USD 3,400 expenses, USD 9,042 profit, that is USD 3.77/queen bee and 265.72 % profit rate under the condition as A.I. costs are just USD 1,058, representing 31.1 % of total queen bees maintenance costs.

New optimality conditions for multiobjective fuzzy programming problems
In this paper we study fuzzy multiobjective optimization problems defined for $n$ variables. Based on a new $p$-dimensional fuzzy stationary-point definition, necessary efficiency conditions are obtained. And we prove that these conditions are also sufficient under new fuzzy generalized convexity notions. Furthermore, the results are obtained under general differentiability hypothesis.
متن کاملNew Technique for Global Solar Radiation Forecast using Bees Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)
Estimation of solar radiation is the most important parameter for various solar energy systems. Expensive devices are required to achieve the amount of solar radiation for a special region, therefore different models have been proposed by researchers to estimate the solar radiation that obviate using such devices. Nonlinear nature and excessive dependence on the meteorological parameters of the...
متن کاملField realistic doses of pesticide imidacloprid reduce bumblebee pollen foraging efficiency.
Bumblebees and other pollinators provide a vital ecosystem service for the agricultural sector. Recent studies however have suggested that exposure to systemic neonicotinoid insecticides in flowering crops has sub-lethal effects on the bumblebee workforce, and hence in reducing queen production. The mechanism behind reduced nest performance, however, remains unclear. Here we use Radio Frequency...

In aceasta lucrare este prezentată problema reglarii ieşirii dacă se consideră sisteme neliniare MIMO. In acest context formele normale pentru reprezentarea sistemelor neliniare sunt de mare interes. Două forme normale pentru sisteme neliniare MIMO sunt prezentate. Prima releva vectorul de grade relative si poate fi aplicată pentru sisteme pătrate inversabile (forma normală clasică), a doua poa...
متن کاملCommuting in multi-nodal urban systems: an empirical comparison of three alternative models.
"This paper analyses whether the basic monocentric model of urban structure and commuting explains actual commuting in Europe, i.e. The Netherlands. As in the USA much wasteful commuting is established. The basic model has a low degree of explanatory power. In order to get more in line with actual commuting, the paper elaborates two alternatives to the basic model. Besides a deconcentrated mode...
