Bee acids. Apitherapy is a branch of alternative medicine that uses honey bee products, including raw honey, royal jelly, pollen, propolis, beeswax and apitoxin (Bee venom). The claim that apitherapy treats cancer, which some proponents of apitherapy make, remains unsupported by evidence-based medicine. The painful stings of bees are mostly associated with the poison gland and the Dufour's gland which are abdominal exocrine glands containing various chemicals. In "Lasioglossum leucozonium", the Dufour's Gland mostly contains octadecanolide as well as some eicosanolide. There is also evidence of n-triscosane, n-heptacosane, and 22-docosanolide. However, the secretions of these glands could also be used for
Spaghetti sort parallel computing device. There are then "n" rods to remove so, assuming each contact-and-removal operation takes constant time, the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O("n"). Spaghetti sort Spaghetti sort is a linear-time, analog algorithm for sorting a sequence of items, introduced by Alexander Dewdney in his "Scientific American" column. This algorithm sorts a sequence of items requiring O("n") stack space in a stable manner. It requires a parallel processor. For simplicity, assume we are sorting a list of natural numbers. The sorting method is illustrated using uncooked rods of spaghetti: Preparing the "n" rods of spaghetti takes linear
