Raptor Codes

2007 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Information Theory for Wireless Networks, 2004
This monograph describes the theory behind Raptor codes, and elucidates elements of the processes behind the design of two of the most prominent members of this class of codes: R10 and RaptorQ (RQ). R10 has already been adopted by a number of standards' bodies, and RQ is in the process of entering various standards at the time of writing of this ...

Introduction to Monitoring for and with Raptors [PDF]

open access: possibleAMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008
在芬兰,监测4种濒危猛禽的繁殖力和数目的全面调查开始于20世纪70年代早期。环志中心于1982年实施了猛禽格网计划,这是一项基于芬兰全国10km×10km的空间格网开展的对其他所有猛禽的全国性监测方案。猛禽的志愿环志人员进行调查的研究地点达到年均120个。自1986年以来,采用问卷调查的形式又收集了关于猛禽繁殖表现方面的信息。2006年,研究者考察了超过44262个猛禽的潜在窝巢地点,发现并报道了12963个猛禽占领区,其中包括8149个正在使用的窝巢。从1982~2006年,有6种猛禽数量呈显著减少趋势,18个物种呈正增长或保持不变。现在,除了微型鸟类外,对猛禽的种群数量和繁殖力的时间序列统计资料已经足够了。

Raptor Toxicology

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2008
Birds of prey have demonstrated the negative impact that toxic agents can cause on animal populations and ecosystem dynamics. Lead, cholinesterase inhibitors (eg, organophosphates, carbamates), and anticoagulant rodenticides (eg, brodifacoum) are the most common toxic agents that currently affect the health of wild birds of prey in the United States ...

The Aging Raptor

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2010
There is little information available in the literature regarding geriatric raptor medicine. Estimating the life span of birds of prey and evaluating factors that influence longevity are continuing to be explored. Identifying disease conditions that arise with advancing age may involve various body systems including the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular,

Raptor Therapeutics

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2000
Developing a therapeutic plan for raptors can be challenging because the veterinarian must take numerous and sometimes conflicting factors into consideration. Successful therapy depends on proper management of the raptor patient, beginning with its initial presentation and continuing throughout its time in captivity. Important considerations concerning

Synovial Chondromatosis in Raptors

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1999
Fourteen raptors, consisting of 13 great horned owls (Bubo virginianus) and one red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), from central and north central Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and eastern South Dakota (USA) were admitted to a raptor rehabilitation center between June 1992 and June 1995, with perisynovial and synovial chondromatosis affecting multiple

Raptors and primate evolution

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2013
Most scholars agree that avoiding predators is a central concern of lemurs, monkeys, and apes. However, given uncertainties about the frequency with which primates actually become prey, the selective importance of predation in primate evolution continues to be debated.

Cardiac Disease of Raptors

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2022
Cardiac disease, in its various presentations, is being recognized as a common raptor health problem. Evidence suggests that the prevalence of cardiac disease varies between captive and wild bird of prey populations, probably because of differences in activity levels and diet.

Care of the Geriatric Raptor

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2020
Despite falconry having been practiced for centuries and with a wealth of published material on the husbandry of captive raptors over that period, there is a paucity of published material on the care of the geriatric raptor. Raptors are often a long-lived species and can suffer a range of age-related conditions that may impact on their welfare.

Raptor Gastroenterology

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2014
Free-living raptors are frequently presented to wildlife rehabilitation centers. Conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract can be the primary reason for presentation. The gastrointestinal tract can also be affected secondary to debilitation from other injuries or from the stress of the rehabilitation process.
