COMBINING SURVEYS AND ON-LINE SEARCHING VOLUMES TO ANALYZE PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES: A CASE STUDY WITH THE INVASIVE ASIAN YELLOW-LEGGED HORNET (VESPA VELUTINA) IN ITALY

Combining surveys and on-line searching volumes to analyze public awareness about invasive alien species: a case study with the invasive Asian yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) in Italy

The Asian yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina) has been invading Italy since 2013, and Monopod it was subjected to management programs to counter its spread and raise awareness about its impacts.We administered a questionnaire to a sample of 358 beekeepers in Italy, asking them about their sources of information on V.velutina and their perception

Experimental Investigation of Microstructure, Mechanical and Wear Characteristics of Cu-Ni/ZrC Composites Synthesized through Friction Stir Processing

Friction Stir Process (FSP) was employed to develop Cupro-Nickel/Zirconium Carbide (Cu-Ni/ZrC) surface composites.Five different groove widths ranging from 0 to 1.4 mm were made in CuNi alloy plate to incorporate different ZrC volume fraction (0, 6, 12, 18 and 24 %) to study its influence on the structure and properties of Cu-Ni/ZrC composite.Proce
