Collecting single molecules with conventional optical tweezers [PDF]
The size of particles which can be trapped in optical tweezers ranges from tens of nanometres to tens of micrometres. This size regime also includes large single molecules.

First record of Coyote, Canis latrans (Carnivora, Canidae), in the Mayan Mountain region of Belize [PDF]
Based on the most recent models, Coyotes (Canis latrans) are believed to reside throughout North and Central America in many regions marked by human disturbances. Although some field guides list C.

Structure, dynamics and bifurcations of discrete solitons in trapped ion crystals [PDF]
We study discrete solitons (kinks) accessible in state-of-the-art trapped ion experiments, considering zigzag crystals and quasi-3D configurations, both theoretically and experimentally.

Single photons emitted by nano-crystals optically trapped in a deep parabolic mirror
We investigate the emission of single photons from CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods which are optically trapped in the focus of a deep parabolic mirror. Thanks to this mirror, we are able to image almost the full 4$\pi$ emission pattern of nanometer-sized elementary

Particle tracking stereomicroscopy in optical tweezers: control of trap shape [PDF]
We present an optical system capable of generating stereoscopic images to track trapped particles in three dimensions. Two-dimensional particle tracking on each image yields three dimensional position information.

Automated distance estimation for wildlife camera trapping
The ongoing biodiversity crisis calls for accurate estimation of animal density and abundance to identify sources of biodiversity decline and effectiveness of conservation interventions. Camera traps together with abundance estimation methods are often employed for this purpose.

Camera‐trapping version 3.0: current constraints and future priorities for development
Camera traps are a widely used tool in wildlife research and conservation, but in situ factors such as theft, poor performance in extreme environments and damage by wildlife may be hindering the effectiveness of the technology.

Single and dual fiber nano-tip optical tweezers: trapping and analysis
An original optical tweezers using one or two chemically etched fiber nano-tips is developed. We demonstrate optical trapping of 1 micrometer polystyrene spheres at optical powers down to 2 mW.

Camera trapping of large mammals in Yenice Forest, Turkey: local information versus camera traps [PDF]
Abstract Information on large mammals in Turkey is limited, and widely applicable, reliable field methods need to be used to gather appropriate data for conservation and management. To evaluate local information on mammal species we conducted interview and ground surveys, followed by a camera trap survey, during January–May 2006 in Yenice Forest, a ...
