Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Impact Analysis of Brake Pad Backplate Structure and Friction Lining Material on Disc-Brake Noise
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 This study proposes a three-layer brake pad design, on which a six-DOF dynamic model of brake disc-brake pad is established, and the factors affecting the system instability are analyzed.

The Chemical Record, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2025.The radical Pietist Johann Conrad Dippel was a self‐proclaimed adept – a maker of gold and the philosophers’ stone. He was also a magister of theology, a doctor of medicine, and a self‐taught chemist, who coinvented the pigment Prussian Blue together with Johann von Diesbach, became known for his animal pyrolysis oil, his wonder‐wound balm, his ...

Stability Optimization of a Disc Brake System with Hybrid Uncertainties for Squeal Reduction
Shock and Vibration, 2016 A hybrid uncertain model is introduced to deal with the uncertainties existing in a disc brake system in this paper. By the hybrid uncertain model, the uncertain parameters of the brake with enough sampling data are treated as probabilistic variables ...

Impact Analysis and Optimization of Material Parameters of Insulator on Brake Squeal
IEEE Access, 2019 In this paper, factors that account for the disc brake noise were explored with a bench test to fix the methods of reducing the brake squeal noise. The influence of the stiffness and damping of insulator on the noise of the braking system was analyzed by

They put me on a train: Assimilation and the Australian railways
Geographical Research, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 249-259, May 2025.This article explores the South Australian railways’ involvement in the forcible removal of Aboriginal children from their families and homes. It gives close attention to the artwork and words of First Nations peoples who were taken away from their families by train under the Australian government policy of Assimilation. A key finding is that while the
