INFLUENCE OF AGE AND DIET ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CEPHALONOMIA STEPHANODERIS (HYMENOPTERA, BETHYLIDAE) A PARASITOID OF THE COFFEE BERRY BORER, HYPOTHENEMUS HAMPEI (COLEOPTERA, CURCULIONIDAE)

The importance of age and feeding on the performance of Cephalonomia stephanoderis (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), a parasitoid of the coffee berry Swivel Cabinet borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) was investigated in the laboratory.Groups of female parasitoids were subject to the following treatments: a group fed during one, five an

Archaeological research carried out between 2006 and 2008 on Henchir Tawrirt, a site located in the southeast of the island of Jerba, yielded remains dating from protohistory to Roman period.The most ancient traces of PALAIS DES THES occupation on this site consist of remains of floor of huts which have delivered, besides flint tools, a pottery ent

The space-time characteristics of particle production are measured by the correlation femtoscopy with use of quantum statistics (QS) and final state interactions (FSI) effects.Femtoscopy at lower energy was a key Car Window Nets of importance at AGS, SPS and in the Beam Energy Scan (BES) physics program at RHIC.Using femtoscopy observables we inves

In the fields of business and environmental studies, sustainable entrepreneurship and environmental dynamism are inevitable concepts that drives the economy.Sustainable businesses may need to be especially inventive in highly dynamic circumstances, utilizing their knowledge of sustainability to foresee and adapt to changes.Therefore, the study was

Due to limited energy resources, energy balancing becomes an appealing requirement/ challenge in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs).In this paper, we present a Balanced Load Distribution (BLOAD) scheme to avoid energy holes created due to unbalanced energy consumption in UWSNs.Our proposed scheme prolongs the stability period and lifetime
