The use of body condition and haematology to detect widespread threatening processes in sleepy lizards in two agricultural environments.
(2014)Agricultural practices, including habitat alteration and application of agricultural chemicals, can impact wildlife resulting in their decline. Determining which of these practices are contributing to declines is essential ... -
Use of elastic stability analysis to explain the stress-dependent nature of soil strength
(2015)The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding ... -
Using LD the GNU linker
(Jeffrey Osier, 2010)Ld combines a number of object and archive files, relocates their data and ties up symbol references. Usually the last step in compiling a program is to run ld. ld accepts Linker Command Language files written in a superset ... -
Using prediction markets to forecast research evaluations
(The Royal Society, 2015)The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) was conducted to assess the quality of research carried out at higher education institutions in the UK over a 6 year period. However, the process was criticized for being ... -
Using simulation to evaluate wildlife survey designs
(2016)Logistically demanding and expensive wildlife surveys should ideally yield defensible estimates. Here, we show how simulation can be used to evaluate alternative survey designs for estimating wildlife abundance. Specifically, ... -
Variability of Wind and Wind Power
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The installed capacity for wind power is increasing substantially in response to the worldwide interest in low-emissions power sources and a desire to decrease the dependence on petroleum. The European Union directive ... -
Variation in thermal stress response in two populations of the brown seaweed, Fucus distichus from the Arctic and subarctic intertidal
(2016)It is unclear whether intertidal organisms are ‘preadapted’ to cope with the increase of temperature and temperature variability or if they are currently at their thermal tolerance limits. To address the dichotomy, we ... -
Vector Calculus
(Schoolcraft College, 2008)Chapter 1: Vectors in Euclidean Space. Chapter 2: Functions of Several Variables. Chapter 3: Multiple Integrals. Chapter 4: Line and Surface Integrals. -
Viewing images of snakes accelerates making judgements of their colour in humans
(2014)One of the most prevalent current psychobiological notions about human behaviour and emotion suggests that prioritization of threatening stimuli processing induces deleterious effects on task performance. In order to confirm ... -
What’s the catch?
(2015)The failure of international efforts to manage commercial whaling was exemplified by revelations of large-scale illegal whale catches by the USSR over a 30 year period following World War II. Falsifications of catch data ... -
Whole transcriptome analysis reveals changes in expression of immune-related genes during and after bleaching in a reef-building coral
(2015)Climate change is negatively affecting the stability of natural ecosystems, especially coral reefs. The dissociation of the symbiosis between reef-building corals and their algal symbiont, or coral bleaching, has been ... -
Why pair? Evidence of aggregative mating in a socially monogamous marine fish
(2015)Many species live in stable pairs, usually to breed and raise offspring together, but this cannot be assumed. Establishing whether pairing is based on mating, or an alternative cooperative advantage, can be difficult, ... -

Wind plays a significant role in the flight altitudes selected by nocturnally migrating birds. At mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, atmospheric conditions are dictated by the polar-front jet stream, whose amplitude increases in the autumn. One consequence for migratory birds is that the region’s prevailing westerly winds become progressively stronger at higher migration altitudes
(The Royal Society, 2015)Seasonal changes in the altitudinal distribution of nocturnallymigrating birds during autumnmigration. -
Wind Power at Sea as Observed from Space
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)This study was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It was jointly supported by the Ocean Vector Winds ... -
Wind Power Impact on Power System Dynamic Performance
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)In this chapter the dynamic behavior of a power system with high percentage of wind power penetration (up to 40%) was studied with emphasis given to the modeling of the system, in order to examine the probable impacts. ... -
Wind Power: Integrating Wind Turbine Generators (WTG’s) with Energy Storage
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2010)The current storage concepts are ready for deployment. Storage needs to be implemented in particular for Wind Energy, not just here in the US but in all developing countries. The biggest impact is probably the flexibility ... -
Wireshark User’s Guide For Wireshark 2.1
(2014)This book will explain all the basics and also some of the advanced features that Wireshark provides. As Wireshark has become a very complex program since the early days, not every feature of Wireshark may be explained in ... -
Women in the World Today
(Campus Manitoba, 2014)Global Women’s Issues and the Beijing Platform for Action. This book is based on the 12 critical areas of concern identified at the Beijing Conference: 1 The persistent and increasing burden of poverty on women 2 Inequalities ... -
The Word on College Reading and Writing
(Open Oregon Educational Resources, 2017)Written by five college reading and writing instructors, this interactive, multimedia text draws from decades of experience teaching students who are entering the college reading and writing environment for the very first ...
