(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) BACKGROUND: The fact that bats suppress agricultural pests has been measured for some particular dyads of predator and prey species in both economic and food security terms. The recent emergence of new molecular techniques allows for more precise screenings of bat's diet than the traditional visual identification systems and provides further evidence that bats consume an ample array of agricultural pest species. The main focus of the regulatory services that bats provide in agroecosystems has been on crop pests that cause yield losses. Rice pa

Emergent epizootics are responsible for dramatic declines in wildlife populations over the past few years. An emerging fungal-borne epizootic, called white-nose syndrome (WNS), is responsible for a catastrophic decline of hibernating bats in North America The fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), is the causative agent of WNS, but to date, we have limited understanding of how an infection with Pd can lead to mortality in hibernating bats. Evidence suggests dehydration is an important part of the pathogenesis of WNS. Cryan et al. (2010) proposed four possible mechanisms by which infection

By this reason, the authors have developed the monitoring method “CIPE” which determines corrosion rate using Tafel slope extrapolation method.

Abstract:
Abstract Corrosion-induced concrete cover cracking generally experiences two stages: initial stage when cracks are developed from the bar until reaching the concrete surface; propagation stage in which cracks connect and widen on the concrete surface. A lot of studies have been conducted to investigate corrosion-induced concrete cracking. However, most of them are focused on the initiation stage and less work are done in the propagation stage, particularly on the relation between the crack width and the cross-sectional area loss of steel bars. The relation between the concrete crack width and

Abstract:
Switched Inertance Hydraulic Systems (SIHS) use inductive, capacitive, and switching elements to boost or buck a pressure from a source to a load in an ideally lossless manner. Real SIHS circuits suffer a variety of energy losses, with throttling of flow during transitions of the high-speed valve resulting in 44% of overall losses. These throttling energy losses can be mitigated by applying the analog of zero-voltage-switching, a soft switching strategy, adopted from power electronics. In the soft switching circuit, the flow that would otherwise be throttled across the transitioning valve is s

Abstract:
Hydraulic pump health monitoring can give early notice of a catastrophic failure occurring within the pump, saving time and money on repairs. This work focuses on developing a system to monitor an axial piston pump’s volumetric efficiency, using state and parameter estimation techniques. A high order, nonlinear model has been utilized for the axial piston pump. Pressure measurements of the pump are used for a linear Kalman filter (KF) as well as an extended Kalman filter (EKF) to estimate the remaining states of pump model. Volumetric efficiency losses are tracked by the filters via estimation

Abstract:
Abstract Gear pumps are used in a wide range of applications because of their numerous advantages. To obtain the high pump efficiency, it is important to know and understand the relation between leakage losses and pump operating conditions. This paper presents a semi-empirical model that was developed to describe the volumetric losses in an external gear pump. It is based on the physical model proposed by Schlosser and contains not only loss terms that correspond to losses varying with pressure, viscosity, and density but also takes into account the effect of rotational speed, which is often i

Abstract:
Abstract The Hybrid Hydraulic-Electric Architecture (HHEA) has, in recent years, been proposed as an energy efficient alternative to conventional load-sensing architectures in mobile machines such as excavators and wheel-loaders. HHEA leverages the advantages of hydraulic power and electric power to eliminate throttling valves while also improving the energy and control performance of the system. The architecture utilizes a set of common pressure rails to provide a majority of power and and a small electric motor driven pump to modulate this power to meet the exact demand.

Full text
Abstract:
The deterioration of bridge decks is a problem typically associated with the corrosion of the reinforcing steel. This issue was partially controlled during the 1970s with the incorporation of the epoxy-coating protection system. However, research later demonstrated that the smooth surface resulting from the epoxy-coating application reduces most of the friction between the rebar and the surrounding concrete. Consequently, forces acting on the rib faces are reconfigured in such a way that the radial components increase, triggering the early development of cracks. To mitigate both the reduction

Abstract:
Infectious disease is one of the most serious causes of economic loss in all sectors of aquaculture. There is a critical need to understand the molecular basis for protection against infectious disease so that safer, more reliable and more cost-effective strategies can be designed for their control. As part of this effort, the major goal of our BARD project was to determine the importance of endobiotics as a defense against protozoan ectoparasites in fish. Endobiotics, or antimicrobial polypeptides, are peptides and small proteins that are increasingly recognized as having a vital role in the

Background. In this proposal we suggest developing a common solution for three seemingly unrelated acute problems: (1) improving sustainability of fast-growing mushroom industry producing worldwide millions of tons of underutilized leftovers; (2) alleviating the epidemic of vitamin D deficiency adversely affecting the public health in both countries and in other regions; (3) reducing spoilage of perishable fruit and vegetable products leading to food wastage.

Abstract:
Regional-scale lake sediment surveys have been successfully used since the 1970s as a means for reconnaissance geochemical exploration. Lake sediment sampling is typically performed in areas with a lack of streams and an overabundance of small-sized (=5 km across) lakes. Lake sediments are known to have major, minor and trace element concentrations that reflect the local geology. Overall, lake sediment surveys are planned and conducted following four distinct stages: 1) background research, 2) orientation survey, 3) regional survey, and 4) detailed survey.

Abstract:
Climate change, conflict, and the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath have caused a sharp increase in food insecurity globally. Reducing food loss - a decrease in the quantity and/or quality of food that takes place from production through to processing - in places where food insecurity is most severe has the potential to be a win-win for food security, climate outcomes, and for commercially driven agribusinesses. This report reviews the common drivers of food loss in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which include inadequate storage, lack of cold chain, and poor post-harvest and distribution
