  • Hunting strategy of a generalist ant species proposed as a biological control agent against termites 
    Kenne, Martin; Schatz, Bertrand; Durand, Jean-Luc; Dejean, Alain (Kluwer Academic Publishers., 1999-09)
    We studied the hunting behaviour of Myrmicaria opaciventris (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in order to evaluate if it can be used as a biological control agent against the termites that damage sugarcane plantations. Hunting ...
  • TERMITES: BIOLOGY, PREVENTION, AND CONTROL 
    . Antonelli, Arthur L (washington state university, 2002)

    This paper presents the experiences on capacity development for irrigation in Kenya, drawing from a study of sevensmallholder irrigation schemes, namely: New Mutaro, Emening, Mitunguu, Ng’uuru Gakirwe, Lari, Mukuria-Kyambogo ...
  • The biological effectiveness of wood modified with linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides against the subterranean termites Reticulitermes flavipes 
    Papadopoulos, Antonios N.; . Avtzis, Dimitrios N; Avtzis, Nikolaos D. (published online, 2008-06)
    he work described in this paper has demon- strated that chemically modified Corsican pine sapwood with a homologous series of linear chain carboxylic acid anhydrides provided bioprotection against the subterranean termites ...
  • Systematization of basic divergent integrals in perturbation theory and renormalization group functions 
    Brito, L.C.T.; Fargnoli, H.G.; Scarpelli, A.P. Baêta; Sampaio, Marcos; Nemes, M.C. (Elsevier, 2009-02)
    We show that to n loop order the divergent content of a Feynman amplitude is spanned by a set of basic (logarithmically divergent) integrals I (i) log(λ2), i = 1, 2,...,n, λ being the renormalization group scale, which ...
  • Chemistry in Second Life 
    Lang, Andrew SID; Bradley, Jean-Claude (Springer Open, 2009-10)
    This review will focus on the current level on chemistry research, education, and visualization possible within the multi-user virtual environment of Second Life. We discuss how Second Life has been used as a platform ...
  • Uniqueness of moving boundary for a heat conduction problem with nonlinear interface conditions 
    Wei, T. (Elsevier, 2010-01)
    In this paper, based on the maximum principle and the unique continuation theorem, we present a uniqueness result for a moving boundary of a heat problem in a multilayer medium with nonlinear interface conditions.
  • A New Adaptive EDCA Approach to QoS of Wireless Communications 
    Wang, Huibin; Hu, Yang; Zhang, Lili; Xia, Wei (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
    Under the background of intelligent transportation application, QoS for various services is different in wireless com-munication. Based on the MAC layer protocol, this paper analyzes the QoS in IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol ...
  • A Perspective on Traffic Measurement Tools in Wireless Networks 
    Siddamallaiah, Ramesh B.; Subramanian, Gowrishankar; Satyanarayana, Piriyapatna S. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
    To understand the characteristics of the wireless networks, the network usage data from wireless measurement tools are essential. The data collection is a process of collecting the network time-varying information in ...
  • The Performance Gain of Cognitive Radio in Adaptive Modulation Scheme 
    Foukalas, Fotis (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
    Cognitive radio is considered as one of the main enablers for provisioning dynamic and flexible spectrum/channel allocation in wireless communications. The reliable data transmission over cognitive radio should employ ...
  • Cognitive Radio Sensing Using Hilbert Huang Transform 
    Narayanankutty, K. A.; A. Nair, Abhijith; Soori, Dilip; Pradeep, Deepak; Teja, V. Ravi; K.B., Vishnu (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
    Vast segments of the frequency spectrum are reserved for primary (licensed) users. These legacy users often un-der-utilize their reserved spectrum thus causing bandwidth waste. The unlicensed (secondary) users can take ...
  • Sensor Placement to Improve the Positioning Performance Based on Angle of Arrival (AOA) 
    Omidali, Behzad; Shirazi, S. S. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
    In this paper, a method for sensor placement to improve the placement quality based on angle of arrival of signal in a specific area is proposed. The installation place of sensors may be constrained with specified boundaries. ...
  • WiMAX System Simulation and Performance Analysis under the Influence of Jamming 
    Jha, Rakesh; Patel, Hardik; Dalal, Upena D.; Vishal, Wankhede A. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
