It is a true fact that global digitalization is the next big thing in the modern world. However, for the initial phase of digitalization the entry and sustenance of e-retailers have had a positive effect. E-retailing by far has been the most resulting operative which has changed the face of the global consumer market. Not only for FMCGs or FMCDs but also for the inclusion of other utility goods into their categories, have such e-retailing companies gained much of value. Purchase of electrical and mechanical utility goods like 1 phase energy meters, electrical fixtures and even high end tools through...

Theoretically, net-metering is the silver bullet created to help a nation to achieve greater energy security. It is possible by the generation at the point of consumption, i.e. distributed generation. It can drive widespread application of DG by incentivizing end-users to take localized power production through non-renewable energy technologies. Despite having beneficial factors, unfortunately, both distribution companies and end-users are reluctant to use net energy meters. What’s Net Metering It is a billing process that allows individuals or businesses are producing own electricity to send unused energy back to the local power grid and get credited back for its retail...

Learn about the best aggregation pheromone. For example, frass expelled from the galleries, and male paraconfusus guts lose attraction in proportion to the number of females in the gallery, with attraction being completely lost after three or four females are present (Borden 1967). In support of this result, Vité et al. (1972) found that male I. calligraphus joined by three or more females quickly cease to synthesize the frass...

The pheromone odors used by animals to demarcate their own space may come from various sources — urine, feces, saliva and most importantly from special odor-producing skin glands, the secretions from which may increase the communicative power of feces and saliva (Hediger 1949; Mykytowycz 1970, 1972). In the rabbit, there are two externally secreting skin pheromones glands which seem to function for territorial purposes: the submandibular and the anal glands....

Let us return to our basic assumption, that if pheromone odors are to be used for social integration in small mammals that are unable to use visual and acoustic signals, we might expect that the total range of messages to be transmitted is as wide as it is in those species able to use visual and acoustic signals. Surprisingly little attention has been paid...

Although the use of different top pheromone attractants is the most obvious method of achieving reproductive isolation, many species apparently employ the same attractant system. In these cases rate of pheromone release from the female may be a species-specific cue. Particular pheromone concentrations may be required to elicit male attraction, close-range searching behavior and copulatory attempts. Hierarchies of behavioral responses (antennal movement, wing uttering, anemotaxis, etc.) in which each successive...

Adult, experienced, male Long-Evans rats prefer red the odor of receptive females to that of non-receptive ones. Polygamous females, however, did not discriminate between the pheromone odor of the original male and that of a novel one. Experienced and naive receptive female pheromones preferred the odor of intact males to that of castrates (Carr et al. 1965). Immature males also preferred the odor of normal males over that of castrated...
