Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

A novel temperature sensor based on a long period fiber grating with a unique double-cladding layer structure

, 2011
A novel temperature sensor based on long period fiber gratings(LPGs) with a unique double-cladding layer structure, which increases the temperature sensitivity, is presented in this paper.

A Novel Electrically Tunable Long-Period Fiber Grating Using a Liquid Crystal Cladding Layer

, 2010
The main aim of the presented work is the integration of a long-period fiber grating and a liquid crystal into a hybrid structure, in order to develop an innovative fiber optic device controlled by an external electric field.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Comparative Efficiency of eDNA, Camera Traps and Scat Surveys to Detect a Semi‐Aquatic Mammal Across Multiple Catchments

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

Reconnaissance‐Scale Methods for the Identification of Groundwater Discharge to Streams

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Identifying groundwater discharge locations is critical for understanding and monitoring groundwater contributions to streams in terms of water quantity and quality. Streams and rivers are under increasing strain from factors, including increased urbanization, agricultural land use, groundwater extraction, and climate change, which can alter ...
