Reducing bias in shorebird nest survival rates across a large Arctic landscape
Reproductive success is a key demographic parameter that can have profound impacts on a species' population trend. Indeed, poor reproductive success has been suggested as a contributing factor to the declines observed in many species of birds, including Arctic‐breeding shorebirds.

Calculation Method of Transmission System Time Between Overhaul with Considering Running Time
By establishing the mathematical model of helicopter transmission system running time and flight time, engine working time, the time ratio relation between running time and flight time is deduced, that is, conversion coefficient.

Helicopter anti-torque system using fuselage strakes [PDF]
The improvement of the helicopter torque control system is discussed. At low to medium forward speeds helicopter performance is limited by the effectiveness of the means for counteracting main rotor torque and controlling sideslip airloads.

Abstract Longitudinal Lx $\left({L}_{x}\right)$ and lateral Ly $\left({L}_{y}\right)$ integral length scales describe the characteristic horizontal structure of energy‐containing turbulent structures in a flow. The ratio Lx/Ly ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y}$ describes the anisotropy of the structures where Lx/Ly>1 ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y} > 1$ indicates structures elongated

Love Affair With Thin Air: Mortality, Mastery, and the Consumerism of Mountaineering
ABSTRACT Mountaineering is arguably one of the most dangerous recreational challenges an individual may ever choose to undertake, yet millions of people annually venture above 8000 feet to challenge themselves in pursuit of personal goals, ideals, and support of individual values.
