In recent years, dynamic reconfigurable processor which can achieve reconfiguration with a few cycles is proposed. The fast reconfiguration makes run-time reconfiguration possible, and the run-time reconfiguration gives a new possibility to the dynamic reconfigurable processor, i.e. the dynamic reconfigurable processor can also execute partitioned independent subtasks with repeated reconfigurat...

A majority of humans spend their waking hours surrounded by insects, so it should be no surprise that insects also appear in humans' dreams as we sleep. Dreaming about insects has a peculiar history, marked by our desire to explain a dream's significance and by the tactic of evoking emotions by injecting insects in dream-related works of art, film, music, and literature. I surveyed a scattered ...

Flowers need insects for their pollination and insects rely on the nectar and the pollen as a food resource. But instead of visiting all flowers, the insects limit their visits to a small number. This paper presents a simulation of the behavior of the insects which results in a specialized perception of blossom colors and fragrances by the insects. A coevolution can be observed only based on si...

medicinal plant powders have traditionally been used as grain protectants against stored-product insect pests. in this study, insecticidal activity of carum copticum l. and cuminum cyminum l. powders was assessed on adults of sitophilus granarius l. and tribolium confusum jacquelin du val. experiments were carried out on wheat at 27 ± 1 ºcand 55 ± 5% r. h. the mortality increased with increasin...

hymenolepis diminuta is a cestode frequently found in rodents and humans. species of flour moths of the genus pyralis and bee­tles in the genus tribolium are common intermediate hosts. humans can be accidentally infected through the ingestion of the insects, including larvae in precooked cereals, dried fruits or other food items, and directly by ingesting the insects from the environment. this ...

Insects are unique among invertebrates for their ability to fly, which raises intriguing questions about how energy metabolism in insects evolved and changed along with flight. Although physiological studies indicated that energy consumption differs between flying and non-flying insects, the evolution of molecular energy metabolism mechanisms in insects remains largely unexplored. Considering t...
