Relationships were analyzed among the energy-related characteristics of feed consumption by caterpillars spongy moth (also known as gypsy moth) Lymantria dispar L., survival individuals, and fecundity females depending on species a host plant. An optimization model was used for calculations. In this model, efficiency depends two parameters: metabolic degradation caterpillar biomass synthesis. E...

Four species of Tonnoira from the Brazilian Atlantic forest are described and illustrated: Tonnoira brisolaii sp. nov, Tonnoira ferreirai sp. nov., Tonnoira andradei sp. nov. and Tonnoira galatiae sp. nov. 

abstract in order to find out a better and cheaper artificial diet for mass rearing of common green lacewing, chrysoperla carnea, an experiment was conducted using completely randomized design (crd) with 4 replications and 5 observations. in this study were used three diets [a mixture of honey, yeast and distilled water (1:1:1), a mixture of honey, yeast plus extract of angomois grain moth eggs...

This study presents results on the detection of CH, in low-pressure methane-oxygen flames using resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) techniques. Experiments in a discharge-flow reactor were performed for optimization purposes. Excitation wavelengths near 286 and 333 nm were examined: the former is not recommended for flame applications, although it may be preferable under flow reac...

This paper aims at developing an artificial intelligence model to forecast the water yield of a modified solar distiller integrated with evacuated tubes and external condenser. The consists hybrid long short-term memory (LSTM) optimized by moth-flame optimizer (MFO) used as subroutine obtain optimal internal parameters LSTM that maximize forecasting accuracy. performance was compared standalone...

Traditional charging stations have a single function, which usually does not consider the construction of energy storage facilities, and it is difficult to promote consumption new energy. With gradual increase in number vehicles (NEVs), give full play complementary advantages source-load resources provide safe, efficient, economical supply services, this paper proposes optimal operation strateg...
