Journal of Mechatronics, Electrical Power, and Vehicular Technology, 2017 Micro hydro has been chosen because it has advantages both economically, technically and as well as in terms of environmental friendliness. Micro hydro is suitable to be used in areas that difficult to be reached by the grid. Problems that often occur in

BRICS Report Series, 2001 We present a simple and efficient dictionary with worst case constant lookup time, equaling the theoretical performance of the classic dynamic perfect hashing scheme of Dietzfelbinger et al. (<em>Dynamic perfect hashing: Upper and lower bounds. SIAM J. Comput., 23(4):738-761, 1994</em>).

Bird image in the traditional vision of the Mari people (ethnolinguistic aspect): the cuckoo
Eesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2014 This article gives an overview of the cuckoo image from the ethnolinguistic perspective. The cuckoo symbol is very old and is connected with ancient Mari concepts. The cuckoo is often associated with the image of a widow or an orphan. In addition to this,

Common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) affect the bacterial diversity of the eggshells of their great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) hosts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) is an avian brood parasite, laying its eggs in the nests of other bird species, where these hosts incubate the parasitic eggs, feed and rear the nestlings.

Common Cuckoo Nestling Adapts Its Begging Behavior to the Alarm Signaling System of a Host
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Cuckoo nestlings thrive as avian brood parasites. To acquire sufficient food from the host parents, cuckoo nestlings generally make louder begging calls than host nestlings, but this may cause them to be more likely to attract the attention of predators.

Inspection path planning of free-form surfaces based on improved cuckoo search algorithm
Measurement + Control, 2023 To address the problems of long run times, long path length and low efficiencies of traditional intelligent algorithms to optimise free-form surface inspection path algorithms, this paper proposes a method based on an improved cuckoo search algorithm ...
