Building for Birds Evaluation Tool: Forest Fragments Used as Stopover Sites by Migrant Birds by Mark E. Hostetler, Jan-Michael Archer

“…Developers are sometimes reluctant to conserve trees and forest fragments in subdivided residential/commercial areas because it costs time and money, but there is value in this conservation effort not only for many different species of forest birds, but for future homeowners waking to birdsong in the mornings. …”

Electromyographic Pattern Analysis and Classification for a Robotic Prosthetic Arm by M. José H. Erazo Macias, S. Alejandro Vega

“…The purpose of this study is to utilise these signals to control an electrically driven prosthetic or orthotic elbow with minimum extra mental effort on the part of the subject. The results show very good separability of classes of movements when a learning pattern classification scheme is used, and a superposition of any composite motion to the three basic primitive motions—humeral rotation in and out, flexion and extension, and pronation and supination. …”

Global cyclic queuing and forwarding mechanism for large-scale deterministic networks by Yijun MO, Zihan YANG, Huiyu LIU, Tianliu HE

“…Delay and jitter sensitive industrial control and remote driving application-driven network by best-effort to deterministic service.To meet the deterministic application of delay and jitter demands, industry and academia have conducted detailed research on stream filtering shaping and queue forwarding control, implementing microsecond delay and microsecond jitter of light load steady in small-scale ethernet environment.However, the study seldom considers the effects of long-distance topology change, transmission delay fluctuations and short-time traffic overloads, challenging to meet deterministic requirements under large-scale backbone networks.For this challenge, based on cyclic queuing and forwarding, considers source-destination path properties and deterministic traffic intensity, the global cyclic queuing and forwarding three-queue was proposed.The deterministic network simulation system was based on OMNeT++.Experiments compare queue forwarding control mechanisms such as CQF, CQF-three and GCQF-three.Results show that GCQF-three can timely adjust the gatecontrol and queueing priority according to the deterministic traffic state, achieves the best in delay, jitter and network utilization.…”

The physics of meaning: More than inhuman? by Hartley John

“…An alternative to meaninglessness might be to take more seriously the marginalized and derided cultures of everyday thinking, as is attempted by Bogna Konior, and for physics-as-a-discipline to join the effort to reform science. If self-criticism is good for the cultural goose, then it’s good for the scientific gander; and a “cultural science” should say so. …”
