We deployed three replicate larval light traps off the upper Florida Keys from June-September 2001 to measure delivery of settlement-stage fish larvae coral reefs. Nightly measures abundance were compared water temperatures measured across outer reef, nearby wind records, and alongshore cross-shelf components currents at seaward edge reef. These time series, together with satellitederived sea surface temperature color fields indicate that a very large multi-taxa pulse on 20 July was directly...

Researchers often seek to enable sustainability transitions by helping new technologies or practices influence and change society in deep transformative ways. There are inherent tensions these ambitions, but they remain underexplored the literature practical experiences of our encounters with similarly underdiscussed. This paper shares reflections insights from a transdisciplinary project Australia which explored how more deliberate critically reflexive approach research could be pursued...

In order for autonomously navigating Unmanned Air Vehicles(UAVs) to be implemented in day-to-day life, proof of safe operation will necessary all realistic navigation scenarios. For Deep Learning powered protocols, this requirement is challenging fulfil as the performance a network impacted by how much test case deviates from data that was trained on. Though networks can generalise manage multiple scenarios same task, they require additional representing those cases which costly gather....

This study demonstrates numerically and experimentally that dependent scattering occurs in colloidal suspensions can, counterintuitively, cause their transmittance to increase with increasing particle volume fraction. Radiation transfer through has been modeled the radiative equation (RTE) assuming independent scattering. Then, effective absorption coefficients of disperse medium are predicted as sum cross sections all particles divided by suspension. However, this approach is not valid when...

This paper focuses on trenchless technology cost savings due to elimination of traffic disruptions associated with utility cuts. Typical construction durations and control plans for two lane roads have been utilized develop equations calculating disruptions. The results show that as levels increase, the user delay costs can be significant. It is suggested methodology presented enable decision maker consider total costs, including typical plans, in certain cases this make most economic alternative.

Market structure analysis is a basic pillar of marketing research. Classic challenges in such as pricing, campaign management, brand positioning, and new product development are rooted an substitutes complements inferred from market structure.

This article provides a snapshot of the digital collaboration practices in postgraduate master programme studio, focused on service and interaction design. It presents discusses research from student survey evaluating usefulness online collaborative software (OCS) ‘Slack’ how it relates to broader media ecology, which is comprised contemporary legacy computer technologies, including smartphone applications email. Affordance theory concept polymedia are combined account both for inherent...

Automated passive sensing applications and self-reported smart diaries seem to hold promise for the management of anxiety in autism other mental health conditions. However, often struggles with noisy data, ambiguous feedback weak user agency over device, whilst self-reporting relies on user-entered data which can be time consuming cognitively demanding. To address these limitations, we explore a different approach, whereby individuals consciously actuate personal capture are control it at...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic highlights the essential role of mathematical models in understanding spread virus along with a quantifiable and science-based prediction impact various mitigation measures. Numerous types have been employed levels success. This leads to question what kind model is most appropriate for given situation. We consider two widely used models: equation-based (such as standard compartmental epidemiological models) agent-based models....

This paper makes the case that small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing sector have potential benefit from connections with design research units operating within universities. It points out some of challenges associated and development for SMEs, argues can allow SMEs better meet these challenges. Additive Manufacturing is used as an exemplary emerging technology explicit new possibilities instability contemporary landscape. A study articulate potentials limitations industry...

The proliferation of electronically available data within large organizations as well publicly (e.g. over the World Wide Web) poses challenges for users who wish to efficiently interact with and integrate multiple heterogeneous sources. This paper presents CI3, a corporate information integrator, which applies XML tool facilitate mediation integration amongst sources in context financial analysts creating profiles. Sources include Lotus Notes, relational databases, Web. CI3 unified model...

This article makes the argument that Peter Sloterdijk's philosophy provides a useful and thought-provoking basis for studies of contemporary indoor ecologies.Sloterdijk's is distinctively attentive to various environments in which humans exist ecological situation beings general.The notions interiority explored work, particularly third volume his Spheres trilogy Foams (2016), provide important tools conceptualizing changing nature spaces modes being world.Sloterdijk's approach philosophical...

<abstract><p>In this paper we introduce a model for the spread of COVID-19 which takes into account competing SARS-CoV-2 mutations as well possibility reinfection due to fading vaccine protection. Our primary focus is describe impact B.1.617.2 (Delta) and B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variants on state Hawai‘i illustrate how performed during pandemic, both in terms accuracy, resource government media. Studying effect pandemic Hawaiian archipelago notable interest because, an isolated...

Abstract Animal coloration has diverse functions such as camouflage, communication, thermoregulation, protection from UV damage and more, can be shaped by environmental selective pressures. Some climactic pressures are strong enough to produce consistent patterns in many species across large-scale geographic gradients. One pattern endothermic animals is Gloger’s rule, which predicts that populations hot, humid areas will darker than those cool, dry areas. This been demonstrated several...
