Raptor Codes

2007 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Information Theory for Wireless Networks, 2004
Summary: 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 ...

Exposure and survival of wild raptors during the 2022–2023 highly pathogenic influenza a virus outbreak [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The global outbreak of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 highly pathogenic influenza A virus (HP H5N1) has had an unprecedented impact on wild birds including raptors, but long-term population impacts have not been addressed. To determine if raptors survive infections

Molecular Confirmation of Raptors from Spain as Definitive Hosts of Numerous Sarcocystis Species [PDF]

Animals
Most raptors are flagship and umbrella species acting as ecosystem engineers. Research on avian parasites in raptors is therefore of interest. There is a lack of studies on Sarcocystis in naturally infected raptors.
