A 2-yr study was conducted in a citrus orchard (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cultivar Valencia) to determine the influence of plant water stress on the population dynamics of glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar). Experimental treatments included irrigation at 100% of the crop evapotranspiration rate (ET(c)) and continuous deficit-irrigation regimens at 80 and 60% ET(c). Mic...

Social influence has been shown to profoundly affect human behavior in general and technology adoption (TA) in particular. Over time, multiple definitions and measures of social influence have been introduced to the field of TA research, contributing to an increasingly fragmented landscape of constructs that challenges the conceptual integrity of the field. In this vein, this paper sets out to ...

Many forcing notions obtained using the creature technology are naturally connected with certain integer games.

Soft-winged flower beetles from the United Arab Emirates are studied for first time. Three new genera, Tonyattalus gen. nov. of tribe Attalini, Tonycolotes Colotini, and Arabotroglops Troglopini, two species, vanharteni et sp. longantennatus nov., described. kovari (Švihla, 1987) et. comb. is recorded time transferred genus Colotes Erichson, 1840. All species discussed in paper described illust...

Here we propose a scenario to simulate sign processing in virtual creatures inhabiting a world of predatory events. In order to infer the minimum organizational constraints for the design of our creatures, we examined the well-studied case of semiosis in East African vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) and its possible neuroanatomical substrates. This approach allowed us to simulate a case ...

The White-winged Flufftail (Sarothrura ayresi) population is listed as globally Critically Endangered. White-winged Flufftails are only known to occur, with any regularity, in the high-altitude wetlands of South Africa and Ethiopia. Threats to the species include the limited number of suitable breeding sites in Ethiopia and severe habitat degradation and loss both in Ethiopia and South Africa. ...
