Though beekeeping is a common farming enterprise and income generating activity in Atsbi Wemberta district, and promotional efforts have been made to improve it, no systematic study has been undertaken to evaluate the promotional efforts and people’s response to it. The objectives of this study were to identify determinants of improved box hive adoption by the beekeepers; and to analyze financi...

the aim of this research was to construct an equipped hive with the acquisition, communication and analysis systems to send images on-line, wirelessly. this system could be used to evaluate density of bee colonies and also work as bait box to eliminate bee pest, if necessary. in this study, two methods, optical flow and neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix, were used to determine hive condi...

In this paper we introduce improvements of bee hive metaphor model for web search. We identified critical areas in this model and designed several methods to improve behavior in web search. Then we compared experimentally these new methods with existing solutions and original model. Performed experiments demonstrate that both behavior of the bee hive and results of web search have been improved.

This study was undertaken to investigate the determinant factors affection adoption of modern box bee hive technology. The areas were selected based on high-potential beekeeping activates. A simple random sampling method employed select a sample 115 household farmers using face interviews, focus group discussions, key informants and field observations. binary logistic regression model descripti...

Honey bee colonies exhibit a wide range of behavioral variations depending on genetic origin and environmental factors. Therefore, the performance evaluation honey races is critical to laying foundation for future selection improvement in Ethiopia. Thirty Apis mellifera scutellata (A. m. scutellata) similar resources contained hive were kept improved box hives evaluated through various behavior...

A geometric morphometrics approach was applied to evaluate differences in forewing patterns of the Jandaira bee (Melipona subnitida Ducke). For this, we studied the presence of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in forewing shape and size of colonies kept in either rational hive boxes or natural tree trunks. We detected significant FA for wing size as well as wing shape independent of the type of housi...

Interferon(IFN ) is a pleomorphic cytokine produced by nucleated cells in response to viral infection. In patients, treatment with IFN has side effects including cognitive impairment resembling subcortical dementia, which is a hallmark of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated dementia (HAD). IFN is increased in the CSF of HAD patients compared with HIV patients without dementia. In this...

In this paper we demonstrate the use of Hive as a novel basis for creating multi-sensor vision systems. Hive is a framework in which reusable modules called drones are defined and connected together to create larger systems. Drones are simple to implement, perform a specific task and using the powerful interface of Hive can be combined to create sophisticated vision pipelines. We present a set ...
