HONEY BEES CONSIDER LARVAL NUTRITIONAL STATUS RATHER THAN GENETIC RELATEDNESS WHEN SELECTING LARVAE FOR EMERGENCY QUEEN REARING

Honey bees consider larval nutritional status rather than genetic relatedness when selecting larvae for emergency queen rearing

Abstract In honey bees and many other social insects, production of queens is a vital task, as colony fitness is dependent on queens.The factors considered by honey bee workers in selecting larvae to rear new queens during emergency queen rearing are poorly understood.Identifying these parameters is critical, both in an evolutionary and apicultural

Counteracting Threshold-Voltage Drift in Ion-Selective Field Effect Transistors (ISFETs) Using Threshold-Setting Ion Implantation

Ion-selective field effect transistors (ISFETs) exhibit instability, commonly known as drift, in the form of a slow, monotonic, temporal increase in the threshold voltage of the device.A method for counteracting instability inspired by a physical model for threshold voltage drift in pH-sensitive ISFETs is presented.This method involves gul rune d2
