A REVIEW OF NESTING BEHAVIOR IN THE GENUS ENTOMOGNATHUS, WITH NOTES ON E. MEMORIALIS BANKS (HYMENOPTERA: SPHECIDAE)

A Review of Nesting Behavior in the Genus Entomognathus, With Notes on E. Memorialis Banks (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)

The genus Entomognathus contains at least 4o species, half in the Ethiopian and in the Palaearctic, Nearctic, Oriental, and Neotropical regions (Leclercq, 1954, 1955, 1961, 1963; Nouvel and Ribaut, 1956; Krombein, 1963).Relatively little is known about the nesting behaviors, host preferences, or life histories of members of this genus.Only the Pala

Experimental investigation on n-butanol/methyl oleate dual fuel RCCI combustion in a single cylinder engine at high-load condition

Abstract Reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engines have a high thermal efficiency as well as low emissions of soot and nitrogen oxides (NOx).However, there is a conflict between combustion stability and harmful emissions at high engine load.Therefore, this work presented a novel approach for regulating n-butanol/methyl oleate dual f
