Low-frequency acoustic signals generated by baleen whales can
propagate over vast distances, making the assignment of calls to
specific individuals problematic. Here, we report the novel use of
acoustic recording tags equipped with high-resolution accelerometers
to detect vibrations from the surface of two tagged fin whales that
directly match the...
Beaked whales are hypothesized to be particularly sensitive to anthropogenic noise, based on previous
strandings and limited experimental and observational data. However, few species have been studied in
detail. We describe the underwater behavior of a Baird’s beaked whale (Berardius bairdii) from the first
deployment of a multi-sensor acoustic tag...
A model is presented for the horizontal and vertical diffusion of sand tracer particles by waves and is verified using a reanalysis of the experiments of Miller and Komar (1979, ). In the model, sand particles take random jumps at a rate associated with the wave period but also can...
Few studies have examined the own-price elasticity of Canadian softwood lumber supply or output-adjusted factor demand elasticities over the past two decades, despite the utility of these measures in understanding producer response to tariffs, to market shifts (such as the decline in U.S. public harvest), and to changes in domestic...
This study compared the growth of Laminaria saccharina female gametophyte filamentous cell suspension cultures in a stirred-tank photobioreactor under batch and fed-batch nutrient addition modes over a 48-day cultivation period. Cultures were grown on GP2 artificial seawater medium (0.75 mM nitrate, N:P = 16:1) at pH 8.3 without iron or copper. Total...
Native point defects, defect complexes, and oxygen impurities in BaCuChF were studied using density
functional theory calculations, self-consistent thermodynamic simulations, and various experimental techniques.
Unintentional p-type conductivity in BaCuChF is explained by the presence of copper vacancies with
transition levels in the valence band. These acceptor-like defects are partially compensated...
We investigated the thermal stability of a new ternary amorphous metal thin film, Ta₂.₄Ni₂.₂Si, and assessed its suitability as a Cu diffusion barrier for semiconductor device applications. Transmission electron microscopy was coupled with atom probe tomography to provide a detailed understanding of the atomic-scale evolution of both structure and composition...
We describe the use of linked land-use and forest sector models to simulate the effects of carbon offset sales on private forest owners' land-use and forest management decisions in western Oregon (USA). Our work focuses on forest management decisions rather than afforestation, allows full forest sector price adjustment to land-use...
The integration of amorphous zinc tin oxide (ZTO) into crossbar memristor device structures has been investigated where asymmetric devices were fabricated with Al (top) and Pt (bottom) electrodes. The authors found that these devices had reproducible bipolar resistive switching with high switching ratios >10(4) and long retention times of >10(4)...
