Emergence of intercolonial variation in termite shelter tube patterns and prediction of its underlying mechanism
(2015)Building behaviours occur in various organisms from bacteria to humans. Social insects build various structures such as large nests and underground galleries, achieved by self-organization. Structures built by social insects ... -
Emotion recognition deficits in eating disorders are explained by co-occurring alexithymia
(The Royal Society, 2015)Previous research has yielded inconsistent findings regarding the ability of individuals with eating disorders (EDs) to recognize facial emotion, making the clinical features of this population hard to determine. This study ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 1: Empirical Modeling of the Total Electron Content of the Ionosphere
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)With the appearance of such satellite systems as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and others, the total electron content TEC measured by means of navigational satellites became a key parameter characterizing a state of the ionized ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 2: The Empirical Models to Correct Water Column Effects for Optically Shallow Water
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Seagrass as one of the blue carbon sinks plays an important role in environment, and it can be tracked remotely in the optically shallow water. Usually the signals of seagrass are weak which can be confused with the water ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 3: Least Squares Method and Empirical Modeling: A Case Study in a Mexican Manufacturing Firm
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Empirical modeling (EM) has been a useful approach for the analysis of different problems across a number of areas/fields of knowledge. As is known, this type of modeling is particularly helpful when parametric models due ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 4: Applied Hydrological Modeling with the Use of Geoinformatics: Theory and Practice
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Water resource management and catchment analysis are crucial aspects of the twenty-first century in hydrological and environmental sciences. Linked directly with studies and research about climate change effects in global ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 5: Critical Loss Analyses in Korean Liquor Mergers
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)The SSNIP(Small but Significant Nontransitory Increase in Price) test is a well-known conceptual framework of market definition for competition policies in most countries. Critical loss analysis is a practical method that ... -
Empirical Modeling and Its Applications. Chapter 6: A Comparison between the Presence and Absence of Regulation in the Spanish Electricity Market
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)There is an important gap in the literature on the promotion of competition in electricity markets in what pertains to the analysis of two different streams: the absence and presence of regulation. Accordingly, the main ... -
Enabling quaternion derivatives
(The Royal Society, 2015)Quaternion derivatives exist only for a very restricted class of analytic (regular) functions however, in many applications, functions of interest are real-valued and hence not analytic, a typical case being the standard ... -
Endocranial and masticatory muscle volumes in myostatin-deficient mice
(The Royal Society, 2014)Structural and functional trade-offs are integral to the evolution of the mammalian skull and its development. This paper examines the potential for enlargement of the masticatory musculature to limit the size of the ... -
Engineering: An Introduction for High School
(CK-12 Foundation, 2014)Much of our modern society depends on engineered artifacts to function, but many members of modern society are not aware of the engineering techniques and practices that have developed the technology and infrastructure on ... -
English Literature: Victorians and Moderns
(Campus Manitoba, 2015)English Literature: Victorians and Moderns is an anthology with a difference. In addition to providing annotated teaching editions of many of the most frequently-taught classics of Victorian and Modern poetry, fiction and ... -
Enhanced antimicrobial peptide-induced activity in themollusc
(2016)Toll receptors play an important role in the innate immunity of invertebrates. All reported Tolls have only one Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain at the C-terminal. In this study, numerous Tolls with tandem TIRs at ... -
Environmental Biology
(Open Oregon Educational Resources, 2017)This open textbook covers the most salient environmental issues, from a biological perspective. The text is designed for an introductory-level college science course. Topics include the fundamentals of ecology, biodiversity, ... -
Environmental offsets, resilience and cost effective conservation
(2015)Conservation management agencies are faced with acute trade-offs when dealing with disturbance from human activities. We show how agencies can respond to permanent ecosystem disruption by managing for Pimm resilience within ... -
Error and bias in size estimates of whale sharks: implications for understanding demography
(2016)Body size and age at maturity are indicative of the vulnerability of a species to extinction. However, they are both difficult to estimate for large animals that cannot be restrained for measurement. For very large species ... -
Escaping the tragedy of the commons through targeted punishment
(The Royal Society, 2015)Failures of cooperation cause many of society’s gravest problems. It is well known that cooperation among many players faced with a social dilemma can be maintained thanks to the possibility of punishment, but achieving ... -

(The Saylor Foundation, 2011)Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Map Anatomy. Chapter 3: Data, Information, and Where to Find Them. Chapter 4: Data Models for GIS. Chapter 5: Geospatial Data Management. Chapter 6: Data Characteristics and Visualization. ... -
Estimating cranial musculoskeletal constraints in theropod dinosaurs
(2015)Many inferences on the biology, behaviour and ecology of extinct vertebrates are based on the reconstruction of the musculature and rely considerably on its accuracy. Although the advent of digital reconstruction techniques ... -
Estimating uncertainty and reliability of social network data using Bayesian inference
(2015)Social network analysis provides a useful lens through which to view the structure of animal societies, and as a result its use is increasingly widespread. One challenge that many studies of animal social networks face is ...
