Strongly female-biased sex ratios are typical for the fungal feeding haplodiploid Xyleborini (Scolytinae, Coleoptera), and are a result of inbreeding and local mate competition (LMC).These ambrosia beetles are hardly ever found outside of trees, and thus male frequency and behavior have not been addressed in any empirical studies to date.In fact, f

We present a practical guide and step-by-step flowchart for establishing uncertainty intervals for key model outcomes in a simulation model in the face of uncertain parameters.The process starts with Powell optimization to find a set of uncertain parameters (the Facial Mists optimum parameter set or OPS) that minimizes the model fitness error relat
Background: Teaching media is one of several instruments used by teachers to help them carry out the teaching and learning.However, based on the results of the preliminary study, only 30% of primary schools use learning media.Methods: This study is developmental research.The development procedures in this study include: (1) conducting a need analys
Message Passing Applications: A Re It is known that message passing has become one of the most popular parallel programming paradigms because of its ease of use, so it was necessary to know or study the applications that were adopt message passing in their work.Programming models are for the most part classified by how memory is utilized.In the sha
