Recent research has demonstrated the effectiveness of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in assessing the health status of bee colonies by classifying acoustic patterns. However, developing a monitoring system using CNNs compared to conventional machine learning models can result in higher computation costs, greater energy demand, and longer inference times. This study examines the potential of CNN architectures in developing a monitoring system based on constrained hardware.

A proper manufacturing process influences the performance of the door grommet during its lifetime. In this work, uniaxial tensile tests based on molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on an ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) material to investigate the effect of the crosslink density and its variation with temperature.

In this work, five classification ML algorithms were compared to find a model with the best performance and the lowest computational cost for identifying colony states by analyzing acoustic patterns. Several metrics were computed to evaluate the performance of the models, and the code execution time was measured (in the training and testing process) as a CPU usage measure.
