Honeybees protect their colony against vertebrates by mass stinging and they coordinate their actions during this crucial event thanks to an alarm pheromone carried directly on the stinger, which is therefore released upon stinging.The pheromone then recruits nearby bees so that more and more bees participate in the defence.However, a quantitative
Cracks provide the earliest and most immediate visual response to structural deterioration of asphalt pavements.Most of the current methods for crack detection are Slicers based on visible light sensors and convolutional neural networks.However, such an approach obviously limits the detection to daytime and good lighting conditions.Therefore, this
This paper presents the gretl function package DPB Jackets for estimating dynamic binary models with panel data.The package contains routines for the estimation of the randomeffects dynamic probit model proposed by Heckman (1981b) and its generalisation by Hyslop (1999) and Keane and Sauer (2009) to accommodate AR(1) 350 disturbances.The fixed-effe
This study identified the relationship between Bedding preoccupation with devotional songs and spiritual well-being of religious individuals, and examined the mediating effect of intrinsic religiosity on preoccupation with devotional songs and spiritual well-being, moderated by the emotionally adaptive functions of music.The participants were 427 m
The stethoscope is a tool cherished by the Detergent Drawer Housing field of cardiology and ubiquitous throughout medicine.However, little consideration has been given to its safe usage regarding its potential for pathogenic contamination despite thorough evidence that stethoscopes can harbor pathogens that can be transmitted to patients upon conta
