Vogt: 3D Characteristics of Fire Ant Mounds 553 THREE-DIMENSIONAL SAMPLING METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING ANT MOUNDS

A field-portable 3D laser scanner was employed as a means of digitizing the surface of fire ant ( Solenopsis invicta Buren) mounds for analysis of shape and orientation in Mississippi and Oklahoma. Estimates of above-ground mound volume obtained through manual measurements of mound length, width, and height were higher and more variable than estimates obtained by summing the area underneath int...

Solar-powered ventilation of African termite mounds.

How termite mounds function to facilitate climate control is still only partially understood. Recent experimental evidence in the mounds of a single species, the south Asian termite Odontotermes obesus, suggests that the daily oscillations of radiant heating associated with diurnal insolation patterns drive convective flow within them. How general this mechanism is remains unknown. To probe thi...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a unique diffusible molecule in the vascular and nervous systems. Endogenous NO can modulate neuronal physiology and pathology by participating in many signaling pathways. Zinc is an essential metal ion for the body. In neurons, most zinc is accumulated in different intracellular pools. Recently, zinc was shown to modulate different physiological functions by acting as a si...

ONE : The Ohio Network

Studying network protocols and distributed applications in real networks can be di cult due to the need for complex topologies, hard to nd physical channels (e.g., satellite channels), and conditions beyond the control of a researcher (e.g., queue sizes). Network emulators can provide a controlled and reproducible environment for network testing. This paper discusses ONE, a network emulator we ...
