Coastalplain Honeycombhead, Balduina angustifolia by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

“…It is a prolific flower and seed producer that attracts numerous pollinators, including the gulf fritillary butterfly. Interestingly, the endemic, solitary, and ground-dwelling coastal plain Hesperapis (Hesperapis oraria), also known as Balduina bee, is completely dependent on the coastalplain honeycombhead for survival, only emerging from the ground a few weeks each year in September to October to collect pollen and nectar (Hunsburger 2013). …”

Effects of Outlets on Cracking Risk and Integral Stability of Super-High Arch Dams by Peng Lin, Hongyuan Liu, Qingbin Li, Hang Hu

“…Furthermore, the numerical simulation reveals that (1) under the normal loading conditions, the optimal distribution of the outlets will contribute to the tensile stress release in the local zone of the dam stream surface and decrease the outlet cracking risk during the operation period. (2) Under the overloading conditions, the cracks initiate around the outlets, then propagate along the horizontal direction, and finally coalesce with those in adjacent outlets, where the yield zone of the dam has a shape of butterfly. Throughout this study, a dam outlet cracking risk control and reinforcement principle is proposed to optimize the outlet design, select the appropriate concrete material, strengthen the temperature control during construction period, design reasonable impounding scheme, and repair the cracks according to their classification.…”

Enhancing network lifetime in WSNs through coot algorithm-based energy management model by Namita Shinde, Dr. Vinod H․ Patil

“…This addresses issues such as high energy consumption, communication delays, and security.To ensure energy savings and network reliability, the fitness function evaluates cluster heads and best routes based on constraints.COOT outperforms other Metaheuristics Algorithms like Butterfly Optimization Algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, Tunicate Swarm Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm, and Bird Swarm Algorithm in simulation with performance measurements and enhancing network functionality and protection.Key methodology points include: • Proposed a multiple constraints clustering and routing technique using COAto solve the most crucial issues that arise in WSNs. • Integrated an advanced fitness function that determines cluster head selection, and the routing path based on residual energy, delay, security, trust, distance, and link quality so that energy load is evenly distributed and credible data flow is maintained across the network and made Innovative and Effective Solution. • Proven Results Demonstrated superior network performance, achieving the lowest delay, highest network lifetime (3571 rounds) and enhanced security (0.8) and trust (0.6) compared to existing algorithms with less energy consumption, making it the most suitable solution for WSN performance improvement.…”
