Abstract The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) subspecies exhibit local adaptive traits that evolved in response to the different environments that characterize their native distribution ranges.An important trait is the cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile, which helps to prevent desiccation and mediate Finger Cots communication.We compared the CHC
Urban heat islands, temperature increase due to climate change and energy consumption due to high summer cooling load are significant issues in Turkey.International studies indicate that the green roof system serves as an energy efficient building technology.However, the thermal performance of green roofs when exposed to local climate conditions is
Pollen is the primary source of protein for honeybee colonies.Foragers collect pollen from different plants depending on the availability of the surrounding environment, which varies seasonally in wild and urban areas or agricultural landscapes.In agricultural Glass Cleaner Spray systems, honeybees can play a particular role as pollinators, especia
This paper reports a temperature-dependent ASM-HEMT for modeling GaN HEMTs at elevated temperatures.Modifications to the standard ASM-HEMT were developed to accurately capture the DC and RF measurements collected at varying chuck temperatures.Several results are reported which validate the Finger Cots model including DC-IV, pulsed-IV, scattering-pa
