Abstract:
Abstract The ways that forest edges may affect animal vocalization behaviour are poorly understood. We investigated the effects of various types of edge habitat on the loud calls (howls) of a folivorous-frugivorous primate species, Alouatta palliata, with reference to the ecological resource defence hypothesis, which predicts that males howl to defend vegetation resources. We tested this hypothesis across four forest zones — interior, riparian, anthropogenic, and combined forest edges — in a riparian forest fragment in Costa Rica. We predicted vegetation and howling would differ between forest

Anisotropic surfaces with micropillar- or micropillar/nanobump structures and anisotropic wetting behavior were fabricated. Structures were arranged as three parallel zones where the structure of the middle zone differed from that of the edge zones. The widths of the middle zones were increased systematically, and the effects of the middle zone structures and widths on the contact and sliding angles of water were investigated. Structures were fabricated on PP by injection molding. Microstructured mold inserts for injection molding were obtained by structuring aluminum foils with a microworking

The problem of two cracks in a semi-infinite sheet is analyzed. The critical conditions when adjacent plastic zones just coalesced are obtained. Also, the conditions when a plastic zone just reached the sheet edge are obtained. Assuming the crack and plastic zones as a fictitious crack, the integral equations are formulated in terms of surface traction, nonsingular stress, and zero crack face displacement at the coalescent point or at the sheet edge. By solving the equations, critical remote stress, plastic zone sizes, and crack tip opening displacements are obtained. Numerical results are pre

Abstract:
The investigation of zero‐offset response to circular reflectors of increasing Fresnel zone size shows that reflection response is a constant and is independent of reflector size, except when the reflector diameter is so small that the diffractions interfere with the primary reflection. The extent of this effect is dependent upon vertical resolution and the time separation of the primary reflector and the diffraction. Interference occurs for reflectors smaller in diameter than the first Fresnel zone. Migration removes this interference. For broadband data the Fresnel zone solution breaks into

Summary Li et al. (2004) described three zones at the edge of steam chambers on the basis of drainage conditions: drained, partially drained, and undrained. In the drained zone, the pore pressure is controlled by injection pressure, and fluid mobility within this region is sufficient to drain additional pore pressures because of shear dilation and pore-fluid thermal expansion. The undrained zone lies beyond the partially drained zone and extends to virgin reservoir far beyond the chamber. In this zone shearing behaves under undrained conditions; by this, Li et al.

In this paper, we proposed an objective measure named as Edge Factor (EF) to appraise image blurring. The fundamental rationale was that blurring effect was much more perceptible in edge transition zones. The pixel number of edge transition zones would decrease when blurring occured. We defined the pixel number ratio of the edge transition zones to the whole image as EF. Experimental results show the monotonic consistency

Abstract:
For monochromatic waves, the term “Fresnel zone” is well‐defined even though different authors use different terminology. Most authors use the definition originating from optics. There, the first Fresnel zone is defined as the area of a circular hole in a screen between a light source and an observation point that produces maximum light intensity in the observation point (Figure 1). If the radius of the hole is enlarged, minima and maxima in light intensity alternate. The first maximum is reached if the raypath difference between the direct ray and the ray traveling via the edge of the hole eq

Abstract:
Butt welding of 0.2mm thick TiNi shape memory alloy sheet was successfully realized by using micro impulse laser whose average power is 80W and the microstructure of welded joint was study in this paper. The results show that, the welded joint of micro laser welding can be divided into four zones according to grain size and microstructure. The microstructure in base metal zone is rolled structure and the grains are coarse and heterogeneous. The microstructures of welded seam center zone are fine equiaxed crystals and the microstructures of both lower surface and upper surface edge zone are col

Abstract:
AbstractSulphur isotopes can be used as a powerful tool to trace fluid evolution and explore the formation of chimneys. To clarify the in situ S isotopic variations of sulphides at the micro-scale, we analyzed a sulphide chimney collected from the hydrothermal field in the East Pacific Rise 1–2° S using a sensitive high-mass-resolution ion micro-probe for stable isotopes (SHRIMP SI). Three mineral zones can be identified in the chimney: an external outer wall of porous anhydrite and colloform pyrite, an internal middle zone of sub-euhedral pyrite and massive chalcopyrite, and an inner zone of

Abstract:
Work zones are prone to traffic accidents. They are considered as dangerous parts of expressways not only for drivers but also for highway construction workers, as they face a higher risk of traffic accidents in work zones. In order to identify the driving risks and to provide guidance to detect traffic risks in work zone, a comprehensive risk assessment method based on cloud model is developed to examine the driving risks in work zones. The proposed model relies on three parameters to determine the driving risks in work zones, namely, coefficient of variation of speed, deceleration, and minim

Abstract:
Abstract A computational particle fluid dynamics simulation model for entrained-flow gasification was established in this study. The simulation results agree with the experimental data. The detailed particle information and residence-time distribution were obtained by injecting particle tracers in the simulation. The results show that the particles in the gasifier can be classified into three flowing zones, i.e. a fast-flowing zone, a recirculation zone and a spreading zone. The criterion for this classification was also provided. The rapid gas expansion caused by the fast reactions plays a si

Abstract:
Sea ice is an important factor in controlling the ocean–atmosphere energy exchange in polar regions, and has an important impact on climate. This is because sea ice insulates the relatively warm ocean from the cold winter atmosphere, and has a higher surface albedo than the ocean. In this study the effect of sea-ice transport on the energy exchange between the atmosphere and ocean, and thus on climate, is examined using a coupled energy-balance climate–thermodynamic sea-ice model. Transport of sea ice produces a thinning of the zonally annually-averaged sea ice in the poleward-most zones, and

Full text
Abstract:
In crop modeling and yield predictions, the heterogeneity of agricultural landscapes is usually not accounted for. This heterogeneity often arises from landscape elements like forests, hedges, or single trees and shrubs that cast shadows. Shading from forested areas or shrubs has effects on transpiration, temperature, and soil moisture, all of which affect the crop yield in the adjacent arable land. Transitional gradients of solar irradiance can be described as a function of the distance to the zero line (edge), the cardinal direction, and the height of trees. The magnitude of yield reduction

Abstract:
Cliffs along the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada, support a long, narrow presettlement forest that includes three distinct geomorphic and vegetation zones: cliff edge, cliff face, and talus slope. This unique landform provides an opportunity to evaluate differences in bird communities between the escarpment and adjacent forest relative to habitat features. We sampled forest birds 12 times during the summer of 1994 in plots located in plateau forests, on talus slope, at cliff edges, and on cliff faces. Eleven habitat variables considered important to birds were also sampled in the plots.

Abstract:
As landscapes become increasingly fragmented, research into impacts from disturbance and how edges affect vegetation and community structure has become more important. Descriptive studies on how microclimate changes across sharp transition zones have long existed in the literature and recently more attention has been focused on understanding the dynamic patterns of microclimate associated with forest edges. Increasing concern about forest fragmentation has led to new technologies for modeling forest microclimates. However, forest boundaries pose important challenges to not only microclimate mo

AbstractWe use a combination of satellite techniques (interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), visible-band imagery, and repeat-track laser altimetry) to develop a benchmark map for the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) grounding zone (GZ), including its islands and ice rises. The break-in-slope, as an indirect estimate of grounding line location, was mapped for the entire AIS. We have also mapped ∼55% of the landward edge and ∼30% of the seaward edge of the ice shelf flexure boundary for the AIS perimeter.
