Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to

night and moon observations of the HEGRA Cherenkov telescope

open access: yes, 2007
During the 1997 outburst of Mkn 501 extended observations in the presence of moonlight have been carried out with the HEGRA Cherenkov telescope CT1. Here we present the Mkn 501 energy spectrum derived from this moon data as well as the combined moon and ...

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Lucky exposures: diffraction limited astronomical imaging through the atmosphere

open access: yes, 2003
The resolution of astronomical imaging from large optical telescopes is usually limited by the blurring effects of refractive index fluctuations in the Earth’s atmosphere. By taking a large number of short exposure images through the atmosphere, and then

Comparison of data handling techniques for modeling bat acoustic activity

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We deployed 169 acoustic recording units (A) across the Raystown Lake Project, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, USA (B). Echolocation recordings were used to evaluate alternative acoustic data handling methods and their effects on bat acoustic activity model predictions.
