Evolutionary benefits of task fidelity and improving information acquisition via multiple transfers of materials between individuals in a task partitioned system have been shown before, but in this paper we provide a mechanistic explanation of these phenomena.Using a simple mathematical model describing the individual interactions of the wasps, we
Characterization and Potential of Coelogyne rochussenii Orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Wildlife Sanctuary as Explant Source
Conservation is an effort to return natural resources to their habitat to restore the ecosystem balance, which can be done in-situ and ex-situ.Coelogyne rochussenii orchid conservation efforts are essential to maintain its sustainability.The purpose of this study was to characterize C.rochussenii orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Wildlife
Zeeman effect in atmospheric O2 measured by ground-based microwave radiometry
In this work we study the Zeeman effect on stratospheric O2 using ground-based microwave radiometer measurements.The interaction of the Earth magnetic field with the oxygen dipole leads to a splitting of O2 energy states, which polarizes the emission spectra.A special campaign was carried out in order to measure this effect in the oxygen emission l
