Effect of equine flysheets on fly avoidance behaviours, body temperature, stress level, and heart rate

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Flysheet use is common without any published scientific evidence to justify their use. Objectives To demonstrate the effectiveness of flysheets at reducing fly avoidance behaviours and measuring changes in body temperature, heart rate, and cortisol levels. Study Design Ten‐week alternating crossover design.

Analysis of Signal Attenuation in UHF Band

Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2015
This paper deals with signal attenuation in ultra-high-frequency bands caused by rain. We focus mainly on the effect of the rain on the radio waves propagation in the frequency band 2.1 GHz. Two exact approaches for investigating this dependency are used.

Triboelectric nanogenerators for vehicle intelligent cockpits

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Converting mechanical stimuli from drivers and vehicle motion into electrical signals, triboelectric nanogenerators provide promising interfaces toward passive, flexible, distributed and intelligent sensing for next‐generation automotive cockpits to support three core functional dimensions: driver state monitoring, vehicle state monitoring, and human ...

Rain rate statistical conversion for the predictionof rain attenuation in Malaysia

Electronics Letters, 1999
The transformation of hourly rain rate data into equivalent one-minute statistics is very useful for microwave systems designers since the hourly rainfall data are more abundant and can be obtained at many locations. An empirical model is proposed for approximating the rain rate conversion factor from 1 h to 1 min integration time in Malaysia.

Fading Attention and the Pricing of Default Risk in the German Market for Structured Products

Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structured retail products are unsecured bonds subject to the default risk of the issuer. We analyze the price‐setting policy of issuers with respect to this default risk. Using a long‐term data set of discount certificates in the German market, we apply a time series IVX‐approach to find that (i) quoted prices do depend on issuer default risk,

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Analysis of Radiative Transfer Characteristics of a Spherical Continuous-Spectrum Light Source Under Rainfall Conditions

Photonics
The current research on light transmission under rainfall conditions primarily focuses on monochromatic converging light sources, and the related conclusions cannot be directly applied to spherical continuous-spectrum light sources (SCLSs).

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial
