Continuous Monitoring of AE Generated from
Nest of
Coptotermes formosanus
AEs generated from a colony of Coptotermes
formosanus Shiraki in a standing tree were
detected continuously. AEs were monitored
at two points using wave-guides inserted
in the stem, at the nest center and underneath
the nest sphere, respectively. The four temperature
changes were also measured continuously for
about one year using thermocouples, at the
center of the nest, underneath the nest sphere,
in the environment of the tree and underground,
respectively.
