Efficacy of an Online Native Snake Identification Search Engine for Public Use

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2019
Visual methods of species identification are used both in research and recreational contexts because they are inexpensive, non-invasive, and believed to be effective among uniquely identifiable individuals.

Optimal Axes of Siberian Snakes for Polarized Proton Acceleration

open access: yes, 2004
Accelerating polarized proton beams and storing them for many turns can lead to a loss of polarization when accelerating through energies where a spin rotation frequency is in resonance with orbit oscillation frequencies.

Integrative Framework for Long-Term Activity Monitoring of Small and Secretive Animals: Validation With a Cryptic Pitviper

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The use of miniature accelerometer (ACT) data-loggers for remote and continuous recording of animal movement behavior is becoming increasingly common. Until recently, size constraints limited most animal-borne ACT applications to large-bodied species. We

Linking Snake Behavior to Nest Predation in a Midwestern Bird Community

open access: yes, 2010
Nest predators can adversely affect the viability of songbird populations, and their impact is exacerbated in fragmented habitats. Despite substantial research on this predator-prey interaction, however, almost all of the focus has been on the birds ...

Morphological snakes

open access: yes2010 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2010
We introduce a morphological approach to curve evolution. The differential operators used in the standard PDE snake models can be approached using morphological operations on a binary level set. By combining the morphological operators associated to the PDE components we achieve a new snakes evolution algorithm.
