Urban sloths : public knowledge, opinions, and interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Pereira, K., Young, R., Boere, V., & Silva, I. (2018). Urban sloths : public knowledge, opinions, and interactions. Animals, 8(6), #90. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani8060090

Free-range sloths living in an urban environment are rare. In this study, the opinions, attitudes, and interactions with a population of Bradypus variegatus were investigated through short, structured interviews of people in the pubic square where th...

Evaluating the effect of multi-tenancy patterns in containerized cloud-hosted content management system (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Multi-tenancy in cloud computing describes the extent to which resources can be shared while guaranteeing isolation among components (tenants) using these resources. There are three multi-tenancy patterns: shared, tenant-isolated and dedicated compon...

Double-MRT lattice Boltzmann simulation of natural convection in a C-shaped heat exchanger (2018)
Journal Article
Rahimi, A., Dehghan Saee, A., Baghban, A., Kasaeipoor, A., Ashrafi, H., & Malekshah, E. (2018). Double-MRT lattice Boltzmann simulation of natural convection in a C-shaped heat exchanger. Powder Technology, 336, 465-480. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.powtec.2018.06.012

The hydrothermal analysis of a C-shaped heat exchanger during the natural convection phenomenon is carried out. The heat exchanger is filled with Al2O3-EG/W (60,40 vol%) nanofluid. The thermo-physical properties of nanofluid, thermal conductivity and... Read More about Double-MRT lattice Boltzmann simulation of natural convection in a C-shaped heat exchanger.

Is the salivary gland associated with honey bee recognition compounds in worker honey bees (Apis mellifera)? (2018)
Journal Article
Martin, S., Correia-Oliveria, M., Shemilt, S., & Drijfhout, F. (2018). Is the salivary gland associated with honey bee recognition compounds in worker honey bees (Apis mellifera)?. Journal of Chemical Ecology, 44(7-8), 650-657. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-018-0975-8

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) function as recognition compounds with the best evidence coming from social insects such as ants and honey bees. The major exocrine gland involved in hydrocarbon storage in ants is the post-pharyngeal gland (PPG) in the...
