Abstract:
Abstract Researchers have suggested that Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) destroy nest contents of potential hosts to induce renesting and thus enhance future opportunities for parasitism. Although cowbird destruction of passerine nests has been witnessed and surmised, few data are available on frequency of those events. We used miniature video-cameras at nests of grassland passerines and documented partial or complete destruction of eggs or nestlings by cowbirds at 7 of 132 nests monitored with cameras. At least three of the seven cases appeared to be attempts to totally destroy the nes

Abstract:
In a field population of Gasterosteus aculeatus, analysis of the patterns of nest destruction following removal of males indicated that nest site variables per se offered little protection against egg predation in the absence of paternal defense. These experiments also indicated that male breeding densities were not limited by a lack of space for territories. We suggest that site quality and male quality, which is determined in part by the quality of parental defense, interact to determine the number of eggs a male can hatch.

Abstract Reproductive suppression, whereby individuals decrease the reproductive output of conspecific rivals, is well-studied in mammals, but while it is suspected to be widespread in birds, evidence of this phenomenon remains rare in this class. Here we provide compelling evidence of reproductive suppression in the Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandie), with the first audio-visual documentation of the destruction of one female’s nest by another. We propose that nest destruction may be a strategy that females use in protracted territorial negotiations spanning multiple breeding seasons, and

In 2013 it was officially reported in Italy, in the region Liguria, near the border with France. In three years it invaded the whole province of Imperia and it was occasionally reported also in the South Western of Piedmont and in one locality in South Eastern Piedmont.

Abstract:
Abstract Over the past decade, the semiconductor industry has increasingly focused on packaging innovations to improve device performance, power efficiency, and reduce manufacturing cost. The recent heterogeneous integration offers an attractive solution in advanced IC packaging because it enables the integration of diverse functional components, such as logic, memory, power modulator, sensor on a single package platform. However, the adoption of the emerging structures, materials and components in advanced packages has challenged the existing fault isolation and analysis techniques. One of th

Abstract:
Abstract Following a deposit-related overheating failure of a smelt spout opening tube in a single-drum Kraft recovery boiler, an investigation was initiated to focus on deposit mechanisms in the waterwall tubing. During the next scheduled outage, a similar spout opening was removed for destructive testing. Highly localized zones of thick deposit were documented inside the composite tube opening, while immediately adjacent areas inside the tubing were clean. The deposit morphology suggests steam pockets formed inside the spout opening tubes because of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB), whi

Abstract ABSTRACT Pitting produced by microbially induced corrosion (MIC) was discovered in stainless steel service water lines at TVA’s Sequoyah nuclear power plant. These pits were characterized by both nondestructive and destructive examinations of 6 in. (15.2 cm) nominal diameter pipe. The pitting was evaluated to assure the structural integrity of the piping, especially under seismic loading, and to protect adjacent engineered safety features from potential damage due to leakage. The evaluation concluded that the required ASME Code design margins remained intact for the flawed pipe, since

Abstract This paper describes the approach and initial results of a trial utilizing artificial nest boxes to support the avian population for seed disbursal for vegetation restoration purposes. The study site is an onshore gas receiving facility (ORF) concession area, located within a globally recognised Key Biodiversity Area (KBA). By applying the mitigation hierarchy, the company has limited the residual impact on natural habitats and is enhancing the forest estate through active and passive forest restoration.

Abstract:
Abstract First and second law analysis of a 12.5 MW single-flash design geothermal power plant in Nevada is performed using actual plant data, and alternatives are investigated to improve its performance. Exergy destruction throughout the plant is quantified and illustrated using an exergy cascade. The major source of exergy destruction is reinjection of brine after its separation from the steam. It accounts for 48.5% of total exergy destruction. The first and the second law efficiencies of the plant are calculated to be 5.7% and 21.6%, respectively, based on the exergy of the geofluid at down

Abstract:
Industrial agriculture degrades and destroys wetlands. Changes to the Clean Water Act in 2023 rolled back wetlands protections, further increasing risks to wetlands from corporate agribusiness. The destruction of wetlands disrupts biodiversity, threatens fishing and farming, deteriorates water quality, and compromises climate resilience. Wetland degradation also erodes critical flooding defenses. Amid the Upper Midwest’s intensive agricultural landscape, 30 million acres of wetlands provide nearly $23 billion in annual residential flood mitigation benefits.

Much of recent human development has come at the expense of Nature - undermining ecosystems, fragmenting habitats, reducing biodiversity, and increasing our exposure and vulnerability to emerging diseases. For example, as we push deeper into tropical forests, and convert more land to agriculture and human settlements, the rate at which people encounter new pathogens that may trigger the next public health, social and economic crisis, is likely to increase.

In the present research we attempted to enhance bee visitation to Male Sterile (M-S) tomato flowers generally used in the production of hybrid seeds. These flowers that lack both pollen and nectar are unattractive to bees that learn rapidly to avoid them.
