Application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in the Timber Supply Chain
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2008 This paper deals with the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the timber supply chain. A distinction is made between the use in motor-manual and highly mechanised timber supply chains. A technical specifications profile is elaborated for both

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.
