Estimation of the methane emission factor for the Italian Mediterranean buffalo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In order to contribute to the improvement of the national greenhouse gas emission inventory, this work aimed at estimating a country-specific enteric methane (CH4) emission factor for the Italian Mediterranean buffalo.

Target Association of Heterogeneous Sensors Based on Nearest-neighbor and Topology

open access: yesLeida xuebao, 2012
A new data association algorithm is proposed in this paper for heterogeneous sensors information fusion system, which consists of Radar and high-dynamic-range IR, based on joint usage of the nearest-neighbor (NN) and the topology similarity. The proposed

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

The Ahlfors estimate [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1979
The Ahlfors estimate gives an upper bound on the growth of a complete Hermitian metric on the punctured unit disc, whose Gaussian curvature is bounded above by − 1 - 1 . A. Sommese has obtained certain lower bounds on the growth as well. We answer two questions concerning lower bounds, raised by Sommese.

Estimation of cost-effectiveness of poplar wood production in poplar plantations in Ravni Srem based on the method of pay back period [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2011
Poplar plantations are a category of fixed assets in forestry, i.e. the assets with a biological character. They are related to their site, they are cultivated for a relatively long time and they have a relatively long utilization cycle, with the ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Estimation and Correction of Gain Mismatch and Timing Error in Time-Interleaved ADCs Based on DFT

open access: yesMetrology and Measurement Systems, 2014
Time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture is crucial to increase the maximum sample rate. However, offset mismatch, gain mismatch, and timing error between time-interleaved channels degrade the performance of time-interleaved ADCs ...

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,
