Introduced wasps (Vespula germanica and V.vulgaris) are costly invertebrate pests in New Zealand, with large impacts on the local ecology and economy.Wasps eat honeybees (Apis mellifera), which has potentially devastating effects on hive health, as well as agricultural and horticultural industries.Vespex bait, which contains fipronil in a proteinac
The problem of non-stationary vibration of an elastic beam caused by a transverse impact loading is studied in this work.In particular, two different approaches to the derivation of analytical solution Toy of the problem are compared.The first one is based on the Timoshenko beam theory, the latter one follows the exact two-dimensional theory.Both m
For green hydrogen energy systems driven by renewables, despite the complexities in design and operations, uncertainties related to availability of infrastructures or seasonality of resources are significant as well as the uncertainties in technical side such as adoption of technologies for energy generation, conversion, and storage.Such uncertaint
The use of plant species to cleanse groundwater with excessive concentrations of arsenic (As) derived from contact with weathered materials has become a valuable option to treat it.The aim of this work was to analyze the bioaccumulation capacity of As of Senecio bonariensis (Asteraceae) Ship Model Kit through controlled laboratory tests and uncontr
