2.The resin obtained from these plants, especially from the speciesFerula assa-foetida,used as an ingredient in medicine and remedies and as a seasoning in South Asian cuisine. [Middle English, from Medieval Latinasafētida:asa,gum(from Persianazā,mastic) + Latinfoetida, feminine offoetidus,stink...
Dung beetles are one of nature’s major scavengers in just about every ecosystem on the planet. They are truly a cornerstone species. 5 Incredible Dung Beetle Facts! The ideal excrement can be located by dung beetles that are capable of flying several miles above the ground. ©Bettina ...
Dung beetle,common name of the beetles which roll up balls of dung, is attested by 1630s. In colloquial American English,tumble-bug. An Old English word for it wastordwifel"turd weevil." dung(v.) "to cover with manure," Middle Englishdungen, from Old Englishgedyngan, from the noun (...
Dung beetle fauna responded to the abrupt variation of altitude; in the upland savanna formations we observed species which are predominantly distributed in the Cerrado biogeographic province, whilst the lowland savanna formations were mainly constituted by species which are commonly distributed in the ...
Therefore, this study constructs the dung beetle optimization algorithm to optimize the kernel extreme learning machine model. This paper addresses the issues of long iteration time and mismatches in kernel function mapping in data-driven models. To improve the model's generality, an adaptive learning...
We supplemented these interviews with that of a woman whose father was a mahout and who was referred to us for her experience in the use of elephant dung beetle brood chambers. Results and discussion Uses of elephant urine Seven mahouts out of the 66 interviewed reported therapeutic uses of ...
In the Colombian Caribbean, the Tropical Dry Forest (TDF) is among the most important ecosystems for conservation providing both economic and regulatory services to local communities and it is the habitat of many dung beetles. Particularly, the speciesDeltochilum guildingiiis notable for its large ...
(1 female and 3 males) were interviewed and asked which species from this inventory they used for therapeutic purposes. We supplemented these interviews with that of a woman whose father was a mahout and who was referred to us for her experience in the use of elephant dung beetle brood ...
This research demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning models that combine experimental and simulation data in predicting the low‐cycle fatigue life of Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy. Highlights: Maximin Latin hypercube design enhances dung beetle optimization for neural network tuning.Improved dung...
The authors of this study propose an improved LESS Dung Beetle Optimizer (introducing Latin hypercube sampling, the elite population strategy, a sigmoid function for parameter optimization, and the sine–cosine algorithm for position update optimization, abbreviated as LESSDBO, the abbreviations and symbo...
