Influence of food availability on the diet and activity budget of two western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) groups of differing size in the Dzanga-Ndoki National Park,... by Terence Fuh Neba, Giuseppe Donati, Angelique Todd, Shelly Masi

“…Such flexibility may better allow WLG groups to track ripe fruits when available but, unlike sympatric chimpanzees, switch to more herbivorous diets when necessary, adjusting activity budgets accordingly ; WLGs thus may be considered more resilient faced with environmental change such as forest degradation.…”

Insights into the effects of biomass feedstock and pyrolysis conditions on the energy storage capacity and durability of standard biochar-based phase-change composites by Dimberu G. Atinafu, Ji Yong Choi, Jihee Nam, Yujin Kang, Sumin Kim

“…This approach has several advantages, including facile production techniques, low-cost carbon sources, and environmental friendliness. The PCM adsorption ratio of biochars derived from rice husk (RH) and Miscanthus straw linearly correlated with the pyrolysis temperature (550–700 °C), while RH700 resulted in a composite with a high enthalpy per unit mass of hexadecane (HXD) in RH700/HXD (250.9 J g−1) owing to the high surface area of RH700 (74.66 m2 g−1). …”

IMU Sensor-Based Worker Behavior Recognition and Construction of a Cyber–Physical System Environment by Sehwan Park, Minkyo Youm, Junkyeong Kim

“…Additionally, incorporating PPG (photoplethysmography), body temperature, and acoustic sensors, enables the comprehensive observation of both physiological signals and environmental changes. The collected sensor data are preprocessed using Kalman and extended Kalman filters, among others, and an algorithm was proposed to evaluate workers’ safety status and update health-related data in real time. …”
