NESTING BOX IMAGER: CONTACT-FREE, REAL-TIME MEASUREMENT OF ACTIVITY, SURFACE BODY TEMPERATURE, AND RESPIRATORY RATE APPLIED TO HIBERNATING MOUSE MODELS.

Noncontact methods to measure animal activity and physiology are necessary to monitor undisturbed states such as hibernation.Although some noncontact measurement systems are commercially available, they are often incompatible with realistic habitats, which feature freely moving animals in small, cluttered environments.A growing market of single-boa

Prioritisation of high-impact species is becoming increasingly important for management of introduced species (‘neobiota’) because of their growing number of which, however, only a small fraction has substantial impacts.Impact scores for prioritising species may be affected by the type of effect model used.Recent studies have shown that

In this paper, in order to improve the low frequency noise insulation performance of a noise barrier, a new type of hybrid active noise control (ANC) Shoes system is proposed.The proposed system is a combination of feedforward and feedback controller.The reference signal for the feedforward controller is generated in the feedback part, so the refer
