REMOTE DETECTION OF THE FLUORESCENCE SPECTRUM OF NATURAL POLLENS FLOATING IN THE ATMOSPHERE USING A LASER-INDUCED-FLUORESCENCE SPECTRUM (LIFS) LIDAR

Remote Detection of the Fluorescence Spectrum of Natural Pollens Floating in the Atmosphere Using a Laser-Induced-Fluorescence Spectrum (LIFS) Lidar

A mobile laser-induced fluorescence spectrum (LIFS) lidar was developed for monitoring pollens floating in the atmosphere.The fluorescence spectrum of pollens excited at 355 nm was measured with a fluorescence spectrometer and the results suggested that in general they had peaks at around 460 nm and the ranges were 400–600 read more nm.A fluo

Preference Signaling in the Orthopaedic Surgery Match: Applicant and Residency Program Attitudes, Behaviors, and Outcomes

Introduction:.The orthopaedic surgery match has experienced a consistent increase in both the number of applicants and applications submitted per applicant.Preference signaling was implemented during the 2022 to 2023 application cycle in part to curtail the rising application burden on both applicants and residency programs.Our aim was to explore t

Fragmentation of nest and foraging habitat affects time budgets of solitary bees, their fitness and pollination services, depending on traits: Results from an individual-based model.

Solitary bees are important but declining wild pollinators.During daily foraging in agricultural landscapes, they encounter a mosaic of patches with nest and foraging habitat and unsuitable matrix.It is insufficiently clear how spatial allocation of nesting and foraging resources and foraging traits of bees affect their daily foraging performance.W
