Determination of optimal formats for digital image compression by Abimael Adam Francisco Paredes, Heidy Velsy Rivera Vidal De Sánchez, Inés Eusebia Jesús Tolentino, Jimmy Grover Flores Vidal

“…The sample was made up of five digital image files with BMP extension, taken in different scenarios and at different times at the researcher's discretion. The technique used was the analysis of digital image files and as an instrument a double input matrix, where the conversions of BMP files to six different extensions of image files were registered, with four different tools for manipulation of image files. …”

Dog alerting and/or responding to epileptic seizures: A scoping review. by Amélie Catala, Hugo Cousillas, Martine Hausberger, Marine Grandgeorge

“…Out of 28 studies published in peer-reviewed journals dealing with this topic, only 5 (one prospective study and four self-reported questionnaires) qualified for inclusion according to PRISMA guidelines. Reported times of alert before seizure varied widely among dogs (with a range from 10 seconds to 5 hours) but seemed to be reliable (accuracy from ≥70% to 85% according to owner reports). …”

Different approaches to processing environmental DNA samples in turbid waters have distinct effects for fish, bacterial and archaea communities by Turba, Rachel, Thai, Glory H., Jacobs, David K.

“…Turbid water is one methodologic challenge to eDNA recovery in these systems as it quickly clogs filters, preventing timely processing of samples. We investigated biases in community composition produced by two solutions to overcome slow filtration due to turbidity: freezing of water prior to filtration (for storage purposes and long-term processing), and use of sediment (as opposed to water samples). …”

Investigating the Effect of Preimpact Energy Dissipation on Coefficient of Restitution regarding the Slope-Boulder Interaction by Ran Bi, Shaoying Li, Gou Liu, Jianxi Ren, Yongjun Song

“…The results show that (1) as the inclination of initial velocity, higher rebound height, and the declining normal coefficient of restitution occur, a determinable linear function could demonstrate relationships among energy dissipation and all coefficient of restitution; when initial velocity exceeds 5 m/s, the recovery ability shows and produces an increasing trend with respect to the variation of kinematic coefficient of restitution and kinetic energy coefficient of restitution. (2) As the surface material varies, slope hardness and rebound ability influence normal coefficient of restitution, and the surface roughness and rotation feature dominate tangential coefficient of restitution; considering preimpact slope and boulder interactions, four types of coefficient of restitution follow declining trend with different material sequence. (3) Slope angle affects normal coefficient of restitution, and tangential coefficient of restitution relatively descends 18% and inclines 10% when the angle ranges from 30° to 75°; regarding preimpact moving status, it differs from bounce times. The correlation between preimpact energy dissipation and four coefficients of restitution can be represented by the same decreasing linear function, when increasing the slope angle.…”
