Nectar vs. pollen loading affects the tradeoff between flight stability and maneuverability in bumblebees.
Bumblebee foragers spend a significant portion of their lives transporting nectar and pollen, often carrying loads equivalent to more than half their body mass. Whereas nectar is stored in the abdomen near the bee's center of mass, pollen is carried on the hind legs, farther from the center of mass. We examine how load position changes the rotational moment of inertia in bumblebees and whether ...
متن کاملImproved Mathematical Model for Helicopters Flight Dynamics Applications
The purpose of this paper is concerned with the mathematical model development issues, necessary for a better prediction of dynamic responses of articulated rotor helicopters. The methodology is laid out based on mathematical model development for an articulated rotor helicopters, using the theories of aeroelastisity, finite element and the time domain compressible unsteady aerodynamics. The he...
متن کاملChronic neonicotinoid pesticide exposure and parasite stress differentially affects learning in honeybees and bumblebees.
Learning and memory are crucial functions which enable insect pollinators to efficiently locate and extract floral rewards. Exposure to pesticides or infection by parasites may cause subtle but ecologically important changes in cognitive functions of pollinators. The potential interactive effects of these stressors on learning and memory have not yet been explored. Furthermore, sensitivity to s...
متن کاملFlight Investigation of Gyroplane Longitudinal Flight Dynamics
This Paper presents an analysis of test data recorded during flight trials of a gyroplane. This class of rotarywing aircraft has found limited application in areas other than sport or recreational flying. However, the accident rate is such that a study of the configuration's stability and control characteristics is timely, and in addition substantive data is required for a new airworthiness and...
متن کاملCapital Flight and Economic Growth in Iran
Beginning in the mid-1980s, the phenomenon of capital flight from developing countries received considerable attention in the economics literature. Capital flight destroys the domestic macroeconomic environment and decreases transparency and accountability. It restricts financial resources when a country is looking for economic growth and development. The purpose of this article is to measure t...
