Fungicide Scent Pollution Disrupts Floral Search-and-Selection in the Bumblebee <i>Bombus impatiens</i> by Nour Yousry, Paige Henderson, Jordanna Sprayberry

“…These experiments investigated whether the presence of a background fungicide odor (Reliant^® Systemic Fungicide) impacts the location of a learned floral resource (lily of the valley-scented blue flowers) in a wind tunnel. Experiments were run with and without early access to visual cues to determine if fungicide odor pollution is more impactful on bees that are engaged in olfactory versus visual navigation. …”

Research on Ground Tie-down Characteristics of Typical-layout Civil Aircraft by BAI Feng, WANG Qizhi

“…The aircraft is impacted by severe weather on parking apron,and the aerodynamic research of parking is important for parking safety.In order to analyze the aerodynamic difference of typical-layout civil aircraft induced by ground cross-wind,and determine the typical tie-down loads,the scale mode and fixed ground plate in wind tunnel are used to simulate the aircraft park aiming at two typical-layout civil aircraft,the aerodynamic forces of aircraft which induced by cross-wind with the angles from 0° to 180° are measured.The disassemble test method is adopted to analyze the empennage aerodynamic coupling.The reasons of large pitching moment of high horizontal tail layout and small pitching moment of low horizontal tail layout at cross-wind research are confirmed in the condition of the empennage aerodynamic coupling.The engineering estimation method is used to obtain the nose landing gear tie-down loads at rear tipping condition.The results show that the deference of aerodynamic characteristics can increase the nose landing gear tie-down loads of low horizontal tail aircraft,and is of less influence on high horizontal tail aircraft.…”
