As the population increases, the field-worker force also increases. Later in the spring, the population of the colony expands rapidly and the proportion of young bees increases. Drones will be absent or scarce at this time of the year. The bees also gather water to regulate temperature and to liquefy thick or granulated honey in the preparation of brood food. The colony population during the winter usually decreases because old bees continue to die however, colonies with plenty of young bees produced during the fall and an ample supply of pollen and honey for winter usually have a strong population in the spring.ĭuring early spring, the lengthening days and new sources of pollen and nectar stimulate brood rearing. In colonies with a lack of pollen, brood rearing is delayed until fresh pollen is collected from spring flowers, and these colonies usually emerge from winter with reduced populations. The extent of early brood rearing is determined by pollen stores gathered during the previous fall. This new brood aids in replacing the bees that have died during the winter. ![]() Colonies that are well supplied with honey and pollen in the fall will begin to stimulatively feed the queen, and she begins egg laying during late December or early January-even in northern areas of the United States. The queen stays within the cluster and moves with it as it shifts position. An extremely prolonged cold spell can prohibit cluster movement, and the bees may starve to death only inches away from honey. During warm periods, the cluster shifts its position to cover new areas of comb containing honey. The bees within the cluster have access to the food stores. As the temperature rises and falls, the cluster expands and contracts. The outer layer of bees is tightly compressed, insulating the bees within the cluster. Under subtropical, tropical, and mild winter conditions, egg laying and brood rearing usually never stop.Īs temperatures drop, the bees draw closer together to conserve heat. During cold winters, the colony is put to its severest test of endurance. The egg laying of the queen bee tapers off and may stop completely during October or November, even if pollen is stored in the combs. Within this cluster the brood (consisting of eggs, larvae, and pupae) is kept warm-about 93° F – with heat generated by the bees. When the temperature drops to 57° F, the bees begin to form a tight cluster. Eliminating drones reduces the consumption of winter honey stores. ![]() When nectar in the field becomes scarce, the workers drag the drones out of the hive and do not let them return, causing them to starve to death. Propolis collected from the buds of trees is used to seal all cracks in the hive and reduce the size of the entrance to keep out cold air. The young bees survive the winter, while the old ones gradually die. ![]() Depending on the age and egg-laying condition of the queen, the proportion of old bees in the colony decreases. In the fall a reduction in the amounts of nectar and pollen coming into the hive causes reduced brood rearing and diminishing population. The condition of the colony at this time of year greatly affects its prosperity for the next year.ġResearch entomologist, Science and Education Administration, Carl Hayden Center for Bee Research, Tuscon, Ariz. The period from September to December might be considered the beginning of a new year for a colony of honey bees. The activities of a colony vary with the seasons. The bees cluster loosely over several wax combs, the cells of which are used to store honey (carbohydrate food) and pollen (protein food) and to rear young bees to replace old adults. A colony normally has only one queen, whose sole function is egg laying. Seasonal cycles of activities in honey bee colonyĪ colony of honey bees comprises a cluster of several to 60,000 workers (sexually immature females), a queen (a sexually developed female), and, depending on the colony population and season of year, a few to several hundred drones (sexually developed males). ![]() Retrieved from Ĭhicago/Turabian: Author-Date – Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition)īell, Kenton, ed.

For example, the social reaction which constitutes punishment is due to the intensity of the collective sentiments that the crime offends. “When one undertakes to explain a social phenomenon, one must study separately the efficient cause which produces it and the function it fulfils.A social fact is recognized by the power of external coercion which it exercises, or is capable of exercising, over individuals and the presence of this power is in turn recognizable by the existence of some specific sanction, or by the resistance that it offers to any individual action that would violate it” (Durkheim 2004:49).

In order to compensate for the shortcomings of not knowing the atherosclerotic burden of a subject, determination of carotid atherosclerosis as a validated marker of coronary and stroke risk can be used to define arterial age. Determining the arterial age may be more convincing for both patients and doctors. Therefore, use of noninvasive, radiation-free methods for determining the atherosclerotic burden of subjects is most desirable. Use of the Framingham vascular age and risk functions to calculate arterial age has led to the realisation that, although it would be helpful in communicating risk to patients, there was no underlying determination of atherosclerotic burden. An arterial age using coronary artery calcium score has been derived from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort, where replacing observed age with arterial age performed significantly better in the area under the receiver operating curve. It has been suggested that arterial age can be used instead of the chronological age in risk functions since chronological age is only a surrogate of the atherosclerotic burden on the basis of carotid intima-media thickness. The heart age in the Framingham Heart Study is calculated as the age of a person at the predicted risk but with all other risk factor levels in normal ranges. Since increasing age can be dominant over other major independent cardiovascular risk factors in coronary risk functions, it has become appropriate to determine the vascular/arterial age of a subject. ROC receiver operator characteristic IntroductionĪrterial age is considered to be a marker for biological age and Grundy probably described it best when he paraphrased William Osler, who first observed that by transforming age as a risk factor, patients are as old as their arteries. TPA total plaque area of the carotid arteries Further studies on the external validity and cost effectiveness of the additional ultrasound imaging study are necessary.ĪGLA Arbeitsgruppe Lipide und Atherosklerose (Swiss coronary risk calculator) This finding was also confirmed by a Cox proportional hazards regression model on patients' event-free survival (p = not significant for AGLAca, p = 0.0003 for AGLAaa).ĬONCLUSIONS: Arterial age derived from TPA could be used instead of chronological age in the AGLA coronary risk function. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of AGLAca and AGLAaa results showed areas under the curve of 0.65 (p = 0.041) and 0.78 (p <0.0001), respectively, (p = 0.041 for the difference = 0.13). Mean 10-year AGLAca coronary risk was comparable to AGLAaa (8% ± 9% vs 9% ± 15%). Arterial age was found to be y = 5.4175e0.0426x in men and y = 4.1942e0.0392x in women. RESULTS: The derivation cohort included 1,500 subjects (mean age 59 ± 9 years, mean TPA 54 ± 52 mm 2, 5% diabetics, 43% women). AGLAca and AGLAaa were tested externally for their ability to detect 13 myocardial infarctions in 684 subjects (validation cohort). The arterial age formula was found by fitting an exponential function on these data. ![]() In this derivation cohort, sex-specific 5-year groups of mean TPA were calculated in subjects aged between 35 and 79 years. METHODS: In a practice based sample, burden of carotid plaque was obtained with ultrasound, using total plaque area (TPA). PRINCIPLES: As a result of the relatively low sensitivity of coronary risk charts, such as the Swiss coronary risk calculator (Arbeitsgruppe Lipide und Atherosklerose, AGLA), for detecting subjects with future myocardial infarction, the performance of arterial age (aa) as a surrogate marker for chronological age (ca) was tested. You can change the selected pattern by holding the “pattern” button and pressing the desired pattern with the 1-16 keys. If it’s the first time that you try the PO, what you hear is one of the pre-configured pattern. Hit the “play” button (on the right side of your PO). Your PO comes with 16 pre-configured pattern (you can have 16 different patterns on the PO-20).Ī pattern consists of 16 steps (represented by the 1-16 keys). To change the volume, hold the “bpm” button, and choose a value between 1-16. You can try on any sound, keep pressing one of the 1-16 button and, on turn the knob to hear how the sound is modified. ![]() You can modify these parameters by turning these two knobs. Try to press all of them, 1 by 1, to hear what each button does.Įach sound has two parameters (most of the time, it will be the pitch and the waveform), and each knob correspond to a parameter. The buttons with the number (1 - 16) are the ones that “make sounds” (they are doing other stuff, but let’s get in step by step). On your PO, you’ll see that every button is “explained” by a label or a small image. You’re now ready to discover the beautiful sounds of the Arcade. One easy way that I found is to use a guitar pick. The Pocket Operators are wonderful, but they are fragile. If you really want to turn it off manually, press “sound” + “write”. The PO have an “auto off” feature to protect your poor batteries. You don’t have to press any button to turn it off. To see the battery status, you can press “sound” + “bpm” Don’t worry, you just have to replace the batteries by brand new ones. Note : it may happens that, when you press a button, the PO resets. When the batteries are in, just press any button to start the PO. Take care of the emplacement (the two + are on same side). You’ll have to force a little, but don’t worry. Just put the first one, and try to fit the second one. And now comes your first difficulty with your PO: the batteries are hard to put in or to take off. The first step is of course to put batteries in. Here are good examples of how the Arcade sounds:Īfter opening the beautiful purple box, you’ll find your new entertainment machine. With these drones, you can easily create a full track using only this Pocket Operator. It allow you to choose “chords” and to add it when you want to your track. The most important feature of this PO is certainly the “drones” feature.
![]() He noted that during a Google Meet call “my meeting partners stated that my video feed was sharp and that colors popped, indicating quality.”īut there are a few flies in the ointment. Our reviewer was also shocked by the system’s excellent audio and the webcam. At 1,276 nits, it’s the brightest display we’ve seen on a notebook. But that not the only place the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook excels. When we ran the Jetstream 2.0 benchmark, the laptop reached 252.68 smoking competing notebooks. So what makes the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook so special? Let’s start with the performance, which, powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook created a wide berth between itself and the competition, scoring 5,246. HP worked closely with Google to bring the Dragonfly Pro Chromebook to the masses and is the latter’s successor to the Pixelbook –– the first premium Chromebook. But it’s hard for me not to include the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook on our list as it does some great things that you normally wouldn’t find on a Chromebook. I recently wrote an op-ed on how $1,000 Chromebooks shouldn’t be a thing. ![]() Which is why the notebook earned 4.5 stars with our coveted Editor’s Choice award. While the OLED display is incredibly vivid, the brightness comes up a bit short with the Galaxy Book 3 was brighter at 381 nits compared to the Yoga 9i’s 353 nits. Our reviewer was captivated by the 2-in-1’s beautiful 14-inch, 2880 x 1880 OLED display that possess a wider color gamut than the Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 (142.1% to 85.2%) on the DCI-P3 scale.īut while the Yoga 9i has definitely improved, it does have a fault. ![]() But those aren’t the only places, the Yoga 9i excels. Is it the longest battery life we’ve seen? No, but that time is nearly three years longer than the Samsung’s 7:46. When we ran the Laptop Mag battery test, the Yoga 9i lasted 10 hours and 10 minutes. And the Lenovo SSD proved it was the speedier of the two with a file transfer rate of 1,669 megabytes per second compared to the Samsung’s 1,173.4MBps. For instance, the Yoga 9i scored 9,954 compared to the Galaxy Book 3 Pro’s 8,250. The 8th Gen Yoga 9i improves upon both weaknesses starting with a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1360P CPU that met the previous best 2-in-1 laptop, the Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360, stroke for stroke –– many times coming out on top. When we reviewed the Lenovo Yoga 9i’s predecessor, we dinged it for its middling performance and substandard battery life. Best 2-in-1 LaptopĬall this the most improved player on the list. See our full Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Q409ZA) review. Outside of the middling performance, the only other gripe we had with the Asus Zenbook 14 (Q409ZA) is the mushy keyboard. And the Zenbook 14 has solid power efficiency, lasting 10 hours and 52 minutes on our battery test. ![]() And while the laptop didn't stand out on our benchmark tests, it had no problem tackling real world multitasking as our reviewer had a hard time slowing it down. It isn't bad, it's just not up to a par with a Core i7 CPU. With its Intel Core i5-1240P CPU, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 8GB of DDR5 RAM, a 256GB SSD, you can expect middling performance. Then you have the stunning 2.8K resolution display with a 90Hz refresh rate that's great for watching movies or videos. For instance, the laptop has Asus' proprietary Number Pad 2.0 which transforms the touchpad into a num pad at the touch of a button. The Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (Q409ZA) comes in under $800, but doesn't skimp out on the feature. This laptop almost makes me feel like I'm stealing from Asus. However, these are minor issues for an otherwise outstanding Windows 11 laptop. The speakers also could have been better. Other reasons to buy include a healthy smattering of ports and a bright, vivid 14-inch display.īut it’s not a perfect system, however, as the laptop has an inordinate amount of bloatware. While it didn’t make our longest lasting laptop page, the Swift 5 still offers more than 11 hours of battery life. We were also surprised at how well the notebook’s integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics performed, notching 26 frames per second on the Sid Meier's Civilization VI benchmark. The Swift 5 had its best showing on the Geekbench 5.4 test where it scored an impressive 9,859. And it easily sailed past our category average. Powered by a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor with integrated Intel graphics, the Swift 5 held its own against its competitors during our overall performance and file transfer tests. It’s easy on the eyes with our reviewer proclaiming the Mist Green aerospace-grade aluminum system as “the most attractive notebook I’ve seen this year.” But the Swift 5 is about more than good looks. Acer consistently delivers laptops that deliver a great combination of performance and value. ![]() Riders are pitted against the clock in this fast paced event.

![]() How Do You Sight In a Rifle With Iron Sights?.What’s the Difference Between Short Action & Long Action?.What’s the Difference Between AK-47 & AR-15?.The semi-auto bolt carrier does not have an auto lug preventing the bolt carrier group from being used for full-auto firing. This lug is one reason it has an increased weight on the bolt carrier. A full-auto bolt has a lug that is required to have a full-auto sear function. The lug is one of the main differences between the full-auto bolt carrier and semi-auto. Some semi-auto versions have completely open bottom making it hard to configure semi-automatic rifles. The semi-automatic version has a reduced closed rear section at about a half inches. It will hit an auto sear when in full burst fire. The full-auto bolt carrier has 2 inches rear closed section. A semi-automatic bolt carrier’s rear has some materials removed, making it shorter and lighter than full-auto. Full-auto is in a form where the rear lug can hit the sear release to make it fully automatic. Whether it be our 4140 gas keys or full auto configuration, you will be happy with our bolt carriers.Full-auto bolt carriers are longer and heavier than semi-auto.

Any time I saw a quarterback value, based on my draft board, I would be looking to draft him and potentially flip him. When you hit on a quarterback in the draft, the profit margins dwarf what you would find with any other player. Quarterback is by far, the most valuable position in the league. I've often said I would never stop drafting quarterbacks if I ran an NFL team. Just as importantly, we want to have a firm grasp of which quarterbacks do and do not fall into this category. We want to have a predatory mindset with this group. This makes a particular subset of the quarterback pool exceedingly valuable. A quarterback can play a decade in the NFL and still have five good years left. The usable shelf life of a legitimately good NFL starter is as much as 20 years. In Superflex dynasty, I value quarterbacks a lot like running backs, but there is one compelling difference. Indulge away! Quarterbacks Versus Running Backs In a Superflex startup, quarterbacks are a superfood. If you are a long-time single-quarterback player, as I was, you'll want to make sure you do some reprogramming before you participate in your first Superflex startup. We avoid them reflexively until we've consumed enough of the major food groups. Many of us have learned to regard quarterbacks as sort of a fantasy comfort food.
