An Experimental Test of Buffer Utility as a Technique for Managing Pool-Breeding Amphibians [PDF]
Vegetated buffers are used extensively to manage wetland-dependent wildlife. Despite widespread application, buffer utility has not been experimentally validated for most species.

Versatile surrogate models for IC buffers [PDF]
In previous papers [1,2] the authors have investigated the use of Volterra series in the identification of IC buffer macro-models. While the approach benefited from some of the inherent qualities of Volterra series it preserved the two-state paradigm of ...

Analysis of Multi-Server Queueing System with Flexible Priorities
In this paper, a multi-server queueing system providing service to two correlated flows of requests was considered. Non-preemptive priority was granted to one flow via the preliminary delay of requests in the intermediate buffers with different rates of ...

Responses of Emergent Marsh Wetlands in Upstate New York to Variations in Urban Typology
Although it has been repeatedly demonstrated that urbanization has negative environmental consequences, the conversion of land to urban use is increasing worldwide and is not likely to abate. We tested the hypothesis that different urban typologies, i.e.,

Land Manager Perspectives on Conflict Mitigation Strategies for Urban Flying-Fox Camps
Over the last 20 years, there has been a notable increase in the presence of flying-foxes (Pteropodidae) in urban areas in Australia. Flying-foxes congregate during the day in camps which at times may contain many thousands of individuals. The associated

Organic buffers act as reductants of abiotic and biogenic manganese oxides
Proton activity is the master variable in many biogeochemical reactions. To control pH, laboratory studies involving redox-sensitive minerals like manganese (Mn) oxides frequently use organic buffers (typically Good’s buffers); however, two Good’s ...

Two-phase wash to solve the ubiquitous contaminant-carryover problem in commercial nucleic-acid extraction kits [PDF]
The success of fundamental and applied nucleic acid (NA) research depends on NA purity, but obtaining pure NAs from raw, unprocessed samples is challenging.
