Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued need to monitor taxa‐specific responses to different drone models. We explored both the

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

Tail contribution to the directional aerodynamic characteristics of a 1/6-scale model of the rotor systems research aircraft with a tail rotor [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
The results are presented of a wind tunnel investigation to determine the tail contribution to the directional aerodynamic characteristics of a 1/6-scale model of the rotor systems research aircraft (RSRA) with a tail rotor. No main rotor was used during

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Helicopter Main- and Tail Rotor Performance in Presence of Winds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A numerical study of the effect of side winds on the main rotor and tail rotor performance during hover was conducted for a closely spaced two-blade main- and tail rotor configuration. The method used was an unsteady panel method. The interaction between

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Acoustic test of a model rotor and tail rotor: Results for the isolated rotors and combined configuration [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Acoustic data from a model scale main rotor and tail rotor experiment in the NASA Langley 14 by 22 Foot Subsonic Tunnel are presented for the main rotor and trail rotor in isolation and for the two rotors operating together. Results for the isolated main

Optimal Scheduling of Data Centre Integrated Energy Systems Considering Electric‐Thermal Demand Response Under Icing Uncertainty

open access: yesEnergy Internet, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme icing disasters increasingly undermine the reliability of integrated power and heat networks by causing line outages, supply shortages and sharp thermal load fluctuations. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a comprehensive optimisation framework that exploits the spatiotemporal flexibility of data centres for coordinated ...
