Large numbers of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) use habitat in tidewater glaciers in Alaska for pupping, breeding, and molting.Glacial fjords are also popular tourist destinations; however, visitation by numerous vessels can Footwear result in disturbance of seals during critical life-history phases.We explored factors affecting haul-out behavior of
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has mostly ended, there may be future situations (e.g.future pandemics) in which infectious disease spread on airplanes should be minimized.The COVID-19 pandemic led to social distancing as a means of enhancing passenger safety.Methods were developed to separate homogenous passengers from each other on airplanes and i
To mitigate the frequent link breakage and node death caused by node mobility and energy constraints in mobile ad-hoc networks, we propose an energy-balanced routing algorithm for energy and mobility greedy perimeter stateless routing (EM-GPSR) based on geographical location.In the proposed algorithm, the forward region is divided into four sub-reg
This paper constructs networks, using social network analysis, of Delian maritime trade and the diffusion of art and architectural styles from Mediterranean locations to Delos in the Display Console Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods.The dataset used is based on a selection of published archaeological finds and other primary sources support
The optimization of the Beetle readout ASIC and the performance of the software for the signal processing based on machine learning methods are presented.The Beetle readout chip was developed for the LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) tracking detectors and was used in the VELO (Vertex Locator) during Run 1 and 2 of LHC data taking.The VELO, surro
