Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Effect of trapezoidal pattern on deflection of sandwich panel with corrugated core

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
The deflection behavior of square sandwich panels with corrugated core of trapezoidal cross section at different pitch lengths and heights of trapezoidal pattern was investigated using the FEM analysis, where the panel size was fixed at total height of ...

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

Boreas, EarlyView.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

Optimum Design to Minimum Cost of Sandwich Panels with Foam Core and Corrugated Faces [PDF]

Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2007
The structural arrangement of sandwich panels with foam core and corrugated faces offers unique opportunities to mix and tailor materials and cross-section proportions to meet structural design criteria.

Impacts of predator odours and conspecific disturbance cues on minnow thermal tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Warming waters can affect fish community dynamics, potentially exacerbating predator–prey asymmetries in behavioural and physiological metrics of thermal tolerance. Further, differing responses of prey fish species to concurrent predation risk and warming highlight the need to understand these impacts in various contexts, especially with at ...

Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
