Experience of using artificial nesting platforms for the Steppe Eagle in the south of Kostanay region, Kazakhstan by Alexey Yu. Timoshenko, Alexander V. Putilin, Radik R. Salemgareev, Georgy Yu. Timoshenko, Kanat Batyrkhanuly

“…The reasons for the decline are of different nature, both abiotic and biotic, and include the following: destruction of nests by land predators (most often Steppe Eagle nests are located on the ground); steppe fires are of great threat, and the fact that some nests are located on trees and bushes does not help, but rather aggravates the situation; destruction of nests by livestock; developing new areas for farms, etc., as a result, Steppe Eagles are forced to leave favorable nesting territories; electrocution on power poles as Steppe Eagles use traverses to build nests. …”

Anti-frequency-shift packet detection for D2D power-saving communications over Wi-Fi network by Fan YANG, Xi LIANG, Ke-yu LONG, Li JIANG

“…An efficient packet detection scheme based on Wi-Fi interface was proposed.It was implemented by employing a novel normalized factor as a denominator in OFDM symbol synchronization-timing metric.Compared to the old-tradition schemes,the proposed scheme can not only obtain great detection probability,but also achieve the threshold setting without pre-estimation of frequency offset.Both theoretical analysis and conducted simulation results show that the new scheme facilitates threshold selection for a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.Besides,the threshold setting in multi-path Rayleigh fading channels can be determined according to the AWGN case straight forwardly.…”
