CHANGES IN THE BODY SIZE OF BLACK-VEINED WHITE, APORIA CRATAEGI (LEPIDOPTERA: PIERIDAE), RECORDED IN A NATURAL POPULATION IN RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT SPRING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AT DIFFERENT PHASES OF AN OUTBREAK

Changes in the body size of black-veined white, Aporia crataegi (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), recorded in a natural population in response to different spring weather conditions and at different phases of an outbreak

Changes in body size in response to environmental factors (especially temperature) is one of the crucial tillman 750m traits studied in connection with insect adaptation to climate change.However, current data on the strength and direction of temperature-size responses in Lepidoptera are inconsistent and the reasons for this are unclear.This study

Brain-machine interface based on transfer-learning for detecting the appearance of obstacles during exoskeleton-assisted walking

IntroductionBrain-machine interfaces (BMIs) attempt to establish communication between the user and the device to be controlled.BMIs have great challenges to face in order to design a robust control in the real field of application.The artifacts, high volume of training data, and non-stationarity of the signal of EEG-based interfaces are challenges
