Heat pumps are a promising building technology, especially for nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB) to be introduced in the EU by the beginning of 2021 for all new buildings.Despite heat pumps already range among the most efficient heat generators, further efficiency and cost optimisation is seen in system integration as well as in adapted design an
Sexually antagonistic selection (SAS) occurs when distinct Folding Hunting alleles are differentially selected in each sex.In the invasive tawny crazy ant, Nylanderia fulva, a genomic region is under SAS, while the rest of the genome is randomly selected in males and females.In this study, we designed a suite of 15 microsatellite markers to study t
Considering the problem of difficulty in Moisturizers transmission and storage due to a large amount of data in the water-supply network monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network (WSN), we propose a sparse representation of the water-supply network monitoring data by using compressed sensing (CS) method.At the same time, aiming at the pr
Abstract Introduction Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is characterized by an obsession with healthy eating, which may lead to severe physical, psychological and social disorders.It is particularly important to research this problem in populations that do not receive clinical care in order to improve early detection and treatment.Objective The aim of this s
Abstract Cooperative breeding may be selected for in animals when, on average, it confers greater benefits than solitary breeding.In a number of eusocial insects (i.e., ants, bees, wasps, and termites), queens join together to co-create new nests, a phenomenon known as colony co-founding.It has been hypothesised that co-founding evolved because que
