Lysozyme levels in haemolymph of worker bees (Apis mellifera L.) from bee colonies with different degree of expression of hygienic behaviour 1 1 2 3 4 [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural Science and Technology, 2016
. A total of 24 bee colonies of apiaries with different business orientation were tested for the degree of expression of hygienic behaviour by modified method, different from the traditionally used for this purpose method.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Both hygienic and non-hygienic honeybee, Apis mellifera , colonies remove dead and diseased larvae from open brood cells

open access: yes, 2018
Hygienic behaviour is a group defence in which dead or diseased individuals are excluded. In the honeybee, Apis mellifera , hygienic behaviour refers to uncapping and removing dead and diseased larvae and pupae from ...

SELECTION CRITERIA IN AN APIARY OF CARNIOLAN HONEY BEE (APIS MELLIFERA CARNICA) COLONIES FOR QUEEN REARING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture, 2011
Thirty six honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica) colonies were tested for gentleness, swarming behaviour, colony strength, racial characteristics, Cubital index (Ci), honey production, extension of capped brood, hygienic behaviour and the presence of Nosema

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Phenotypic and genetic analyses of the varroa sensitive hygienic trait in Russian honey bee (hymenoptera: apidae) colonies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Varroa destructor continues to threaten colonies of European honey bees. General hygiene, and more specific Varroa Sensitive Hygiene (VSH), provide resistance towards the Varroa mite in a number of stocks.

Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

A semiochemical from brood cells infested by Varroa destructor triggers hygienic behaviour in Apis mellifera

open access: yes, 2004
Hygienic behaviour of bees towards mite infested brood is involved in the tolerance of some bee strains to Varroa destructor. The stimuli triggering hygienic behaviour are olfactory cues emanating from cells containing infested brood but their identity ...

Introducing a clinical-behavioural scoring system for children's oral hygiene [PDF]

open access: yesRevista de Salud Pública, 2006
Developing and testing a clinical-behavioural scoring system for assessing children's oral hygiene.One clinical variable (the presence of dental plaque, measured using Silness and Loe's index) and one behavioural variable (self-reported tooth brushing frequency) were combined into secondary data analysis of research databases for 3-6-year-olds and 6-13-
