Diurnal habitat selection of migrating Whooping Crane in the Great Plains

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019
Available stopover habitats with quality foraging opportunities are essential for migrating waterbirds, including Whooping Crane (Grus americana). Several studies have evaluated habitats used by Whooping Crane for roosting throughout its migration ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Temperature control strategy and simulation analysis of a walking beam reheating furnace

Materials Research Express
As a critical intermediate stage in the continuous casting and rolling process for bar production, the heating quality of a walking beam reheating furnace significantly affects billet shaping and the performance of the finished bars.

Modified Smith Input-Shaper Crane-Controller for Position Control and Sway Reduction

Applied Sciences
In this paper, the control structure for a crane system is proposed. It is designed to achieve fast cargo transfer with minimum cargo sway. The proposed control structure reduces the cargo sway generated by the position controller, which accelerates and ...

Transitioning to Higher Education: A Case Study of an Individual With Autism

Psychology in the Schools, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Necessary arrangements should be made to enable university students with autism (the term “autism” is used to refer to the entire autism spectrum in this study) to improve their transition to university. The need for support may be higher in countries like Türkiye, where the number of university students with autism is relatively low, as ...

Exploring eco‐evolutionary and temporal patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing Sorghum bicolor across sites of contrasting land use history and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is limited. We examined how eight genetically diverse sorghum genotypes shaped arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly across two contrasting ...

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

A Comparison of Mobile Laser Scanning Data Acquisition Methods in Closed Forest, Open Woodland and Sub‐Alpine Woodland Ecosystems

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the mobile laser scanning (MLS) sampling density required to reliably characterise vegetation structure increases with a site's structural complexity. Applying a five‐level acquisition framework across open woodland, closed forest and sub‐alpine woodland ecosystems, we found that longer scanning paths increased the ...
