COMPARATIVE MICRO-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF BROOD CELLS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUPAE OF HONEY BEE (APIS MELLIFERA)

Comparative micro-computed tomographic analysis of the structure of brood cells and its effect on the development of the pupae of honey bee (Apis mellifera)

Most beekeepers worldwide use the same combs in their hives for many years, which can result in alterations in the inner volume of the comb cells.The objective of this survey using microcomputed tomography was to reveal developmental disorders caused by this beekeeping practice.The extent of the thickening of the wall of brood cells that occurs as

A Data-Driven Justification for Dedicated Dynamic Pricing for Residences-Based Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Wind Energy-Rich Electricity Grids

Supply curtailment in wind energy-rich electricity grids occurs when electric energy supply exceeds demand.Grid-level Spanking Paddles and Floggers energy storage assets with the potential for storing the excess electric energy generated from wind are yet cost-prohibitive and prone to inefficiencies.An alternative for managing this excess energy is
