(Diptera: Tephritidae), is a highly destructive pest.The low tolerance for damaged fruit requires preventive insecticide treatments for a marketable crop.The phase-out of old insecticides threatens cherry production throughout the European Union Body Skin Care (EU).Consequently, new management t
Airborne wind energy Thermal Switches/Fuses systems (AWESs) represent a novel idea that aims to gather energy from stronger winds aloft while operating at altitudes above conventional wind turbines (WTs).For this study, we examined the wind resources at a height of 100 m available for traditional wind turbines with aerial wind energy technologies,
