A “demand and supply” approach to monitoring habitat and population changes of migratory birds

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Habitat loss and degradation threaten thousands of migratory bird species worldwide. Yet, because the distributions of migratory birds change throughout the year, quantifying the impacts of threats and identifying key sites for conservation attention have proved challenging.

Do Big Data Applications and Financial Innovation Lead to Enhanced Banking Performance? Evidence From the United Kingdom

open access: yesInternational Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Big data and financial innovations are vital to enhancing the performance of banking institutions. However, limited evidence exists on the effects of big data applications and financial innovation on bank performance. This study addresses this gap by constructing a theoretical framework linking big data applications and financial innovations ...

Offshore anchor piles under mooring forces: centrifuge modeling

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2013
Offshore anchor piles are seafloor moorings that keep the position of floating structures during a harsh environment. These piles are usually subjected to a wide range of monotonic and cyclic lateral-to-oblique pullout forces. Centrifuge tests were carried out to study the behavior of offshore anchor piles under mooring forces in saturated dense sand ...

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Peatlands Under Land‐Use Change

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters carbon and N dynamics in peatlands by affecting microbial processes, enhancing greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching into adjacent waters. However, how peatland conversion for agriculture and forestry influences the fate of added N under elevated atmospheric deposition remains ...

PHYSICAL MODEL TEST OF THE MOORED CONTAINER SHIP MOTION AND THE RELATED INDUCED MOORING FORCE

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1986
To optimize structure design it is useful to conduct detail physical model tests. Tests of various basic physical phenomena (e.g. resonance problems), reproducing a sea state of prototype duration and then from the behavior of entire structure, the optimal design to the wharf structure will be obtained.

EXPERIMENTAL FORMULA FOR THE WAVE-INDUCED SHIP MOORING FORCE [PDF]

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 2011
The wave force dose not considered at the formula of mooring ship cable force in the Load Code for Harbor Engineering[JTJ215-98]. This brought the inconvenience to the calculation of designed cable force for mooring ship. By means of analysis for the laboratory model test result of mooring ship cable force under wave effect, Wave force formula of ...
