MOTION PATTERN OPTIMIZATION AND ENERGY ANALYSIS FOR UNDERWATER GLIDER BASED ON THE MULTI-OBJECTIVE ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY METHOD

Motion Pattern Optimization and Energy Analysis for Underwater Glider Based on the Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony Method

Underwater gliders are prevailing in oceanic observation nowadays for their flexible deployment and low cost.However, the limited onboard energy constrains their application, hence the motion pattern optimization and energy analysis are the key to maximizing the range of the glider while Ball Chairs maintaining the acceptable navigation preciseness

Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp. infection in birds of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest detected by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction

In recent years haemosporidian infection by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and Haemoproteus, has been considered one of the most important factors related to the extinction and/or population decline of several species of birds worldwide.In Brazil, despite the large avian biodiversity, few studies have been designed to detect this infection, espec
