The effect of elevation on species richness in tropical forests depends on the considered lifeform: results from an East African mountain forest [PDF]
, 2019 Elevation gradients in tropical forests have been studied but the analysis of patterns displayed by species richness and elevation have received little attention.

A seakeeping analysis method for an air-lifted vessel [PDF]
, 2008 A seakeeping analysis in the frequency domain is presented to predict the motion response of an airlifted vessel (ALV) in waves. The ALV is supported by pressurised air in two separate cushion chambers; the pressure variation in the cushions has a ...

Resolution of a paradox: Hummingbird flight at high elevation does not come without a cost [PDF]
, 2004 Flight at high elevation is energetically demanding because of parallel reductions in air density and oxygen availability. The hovering flight of hummingbirds is one of the most energetically expensive forms of animal locomotion, but hummingbirds are ...

Elevational and latitudinal changes in tree associations and diversity in the Eastern Arc mountains of Tanzania [PDF]
, 1996 A total of 200 variable-area plots covering 20 3 ha containing 4000 trees with a basal area of 921 4 m2 were assessed over a combined elevational range of 410-2180 m in the moist forests of three Tanzanian Eastern Arc mountains: West Usambara, Nguru and ...

Influence of bed elevation discordance on flow patterns and head losses in an open-channel confluence [PDF]
, 2019 Confluences play a major role in the dynamics of networks of natural and man-made open channels, and field measurements on river confluences reveal that discordance in bed elevation is common.

Location of the elevation axis in a large optical telescope [PDF]
, 2004 Proposed designs for the next generation of large optical telescopes favor a tripod or quadrupod secondary support, and a primary supported from the back, but it is not yet clear whether the elevation axis should be in front of the primary or behind it ...

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

A low profile radiating element with nearly hemispheric coverage for satellite communications on-the-move hybrid array antenna [PDF]
, 2010 A novel design solution of a dual-linearly polarised Ku-band low-profile radiating element for low elevation angle coverage (down to 10° above horizon) is presented. Such an element is suitable for full-duplex Satellite Communications On-The-Move (SCOTM)
