While insect predators need high-quality food to reach sexual maturity and reproduce, starvation following adult eclosion may occur when prey are missing in agroecosystems.This study explores whether the type of diet available at eclosion determines the future fecundity of newly emerged adult predators.In a laboratory experiment, three different di
Data centres as logistical facilities: Singapore and the emergence of production topologies
Data centres mobilise server-client architectures to disperse and draw in labour from across industries and nations.In doing so, they provide an infrastructural fix for capitalist actors seeking shibori dot fabric to bypass traditional labour actions, by designing logistical routes around which to redirect production processes.In this article, we b

Quantifying continental collision dynamics for Alpine-style orogens
When continents collide, the arrival of positively buoyant continental crust slows down subduction.This collision often leads to the detachment of earlier subducted oceanic lithosphere, which great neck chisels changes the subsequent dynamics of the orogenic system.Recent studies of continental collision infer that the remaining slab may drive conv
Optimizing Data Processing: A Comparative Study of Big Data Platforms in Edge, Fog, and Cloud Layers
Intelligent applications in several areas increasingly rely on big data solutions to improve their efficiency, but the processing and management of big data incur high costs.Although cloud-computing-based big data management and qsc gx7 processing offer a promising solution to provide scalable and abundant resources, the current cloud-based big dat
