Reducing representativeness and sampling errors in radio occultation–radiosonde comparisons [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018
Radio occultation (RO) and radiosonde (RS) comparisons provide a means of analyzing errors associated with both observational systems. Since RO and RS observations are not taken at the exact same time or location, temporal and spatial sampling errors ...

Heterogeneity of Microbial Communities in Soils From the Antarctic Peninsula Region

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Ice-free areas represent less than 1% of the Antarctic surface. However, climate change models predict a significant increase in temperatures in the coming decades, triggering a relevant reduction of the ice-covered surface.

Gut microbiota of migrating wild rabbit fish (Siganus guttatus) larvae have low spatial and temporal variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigated the gut microbiota of rabbit fish larvae at three locations in Vietnam (ThuanAn-northern, QuangNam-intermediate, BinhDinh-southern sampling site) over a three-year period. In the wild, the first food for rabbit fish larvae remains unknown,

Asia-Pacific Lightning Location Network (APLLN) and Preliminary Performance Assessment

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The Asia-Pacific Lightning Location Network (APLLN) is a lightning location system consisting of a series of very low-frequency signal detection sites. Since 2018, 16 detection sites have been deployed with an average baseline longer than 1000 km.

P1-S4.08 Population size estimates for men who have sex with men in Guatemala City using time location sampling and respondent driven sampling [PDF]

open access: yesSexually Transmitted Infections, 2011
BackgroundMen who have sex with men (MSM) are highly vulnerable to HIV infection, but this population can be particularly difficult to reach in Central America due to stigma and violence. Knowing the size of populations at high risk for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) is critical for informing prevention, care, and treatment programs ...

Methodological challenges in collecting social and behavioural data regarding the HIV epidemic among gay and other men who have sex with men in Australia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundBehavioural surveillance and research among gay and other men who have sex with men (GMSM) commonly relies on non-random recruitment approaches. Methodological challenges limit their ability to accurately represent the population of adult GMSM.

Kleinvoet: a Spatially-Distributed Temporally-Synchronised Infrasonic Recorder

open access: yesJournal of Open Hardware, 2023
We present the hardware design of a high-fidelity, low-cost infrasonic-capable (6 Hz) passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) prototype instrument. The device allows temporal synchronisation using a variety of global navigation satellite system (GNSS ...
