Dynamics of a Discrete Internet Congestion Control Model by Yingguo Li

“…By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that Neimark-Sacker bifurcations occur when the delay passes a sequence of critical values. …”

Florida Honey Bee Plants by Mary Christine Bammer, William H. Kern, Jamie D. Ellis

“…While many plants are acceptable pollen producers for honey bees, fewer yield enough nectar to produce a surplus honey crop. As such, the tables in this document list the nectar-bearing plants that are present to some degree in each region and the plants' respective bloom times. …”

Detection Performance Analysis of the Standard FDA and FDA-MIMO Radar in the Gaussian Background by Yongze Liu, Yuehong Ma, Haiming Jing

“…For the two array configurations, namely, collocated transmit-receive and collocated transmit distributed receive, the likelihood ratio test statistics and the test statistic distributions are derived in the Neyman–Pearson sense. It is then investigated how the number of array elements influences the detection performance of various radar systems at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). …”

Priming bumble bees with caffeine, odour of the target crop, and a food reward, has minimal effects on fruit crop pollination and yield in a semi-commercial setup by Sarah Arnold, Celine Silva, Jan-Hendrik Dudenhöffer, David Hall, Dudley Farman, Felix Wäckers, Philip Stevenson, Michelle Fountain

“… Caffeine is a widely occurring plant defence chemical that occurs in the nectar of some plants, e.g. Coffea or Citrus spp., where it may influence pollinator behaviour to enhance pollination. …”
