Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Differential effects of environmental predictability on ungulate movement behavior in disparate ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Increasing ecological perturbations resulting from global change processes are altering the environmental predictability (EP) of critical forage and water resources for wildlife. While research has furthered our understanding of how EP both underlies and directs animal movement, studies have mainly focused on relationships between EP and large‐scale ...

Whale-watching and Herring Fishing: Joint or Independent Production? [PDF]

open access: yes
The effects of "localized depletion" of a pelagic fishery (herring) on a non-extractive marine activity (tourism) are investigated. Proponents of the localized depletion theory claim that intense fishing effort can lead to areas that are unsuitable for ...

Computer Simulation of Musical Evolution: A Lesson from Whales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Simulating musical creativity using computers needs more than the ability to devise elegant computational implementations of sophisticated algorithms. It requires, firstly, an understanding of what phenomena might be regarded as music; and, secondly, an ...

Parameter Identification of Photovoltaic Models Using an Enhanced INFO Algorithm

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photovoltaic (PV) systems are electrical systems designed to convert solar energy into electrical energy. As a crucial component of PV systems, harsh weather conditions, photovoltaic panel temperature and solar irradiance influence the power output of photovoltaic cells.

Analysis of turbulence and vortex structures by flow mapping [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The technique of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow mapping is reviewed and comparisons made with Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA). Results are presented showing the application of PlV to the determination of coherent structures in grid-generated ...
