Unravelling the multi-scale structure of vertebrate scavenger communities: The role of beta-diversity in livestock carcass consumption by María Eugenia Cabrera-García, Patricia Mateo-Tomás, José Hernán Sarasola, Juan I. Zanón Martínez, Beatriz Martínez-Miranzo, Pedro P. Olea

“…A total of 31 carcasses, 22 of cow and nine of sheep, were monitored using remote cameras in cropland and natural habitats, recording consumption by 10 vertebrate species (four birds and six mammals). 50 % of scavenger species were observed at carcass level (α1 = 4.94 species), a contribution lower than expected by chance. While the turnover of species among carcasses (β1 diversity) significantly contributed (40 %) to regional richness (γ diversity), turnover of species between carrion types and habitats (β2 diversity) contributed a smaller fraction (10 %). …”

Development of an AI-Enabled Q-Agent for Making Data Offloading Decisions in a Multi-RAT Wireless Network by Murk Marvi, Adnan Aijaz, Anam Qureshi, Muhammad Khurram

“…However, due to the stochastic nature of the wireless networks, it is important to take optimal actions under different conditions such that the user experience is enhanced and congestion on heavy-loaded radio access technologies (RATs) is reduced by offloading data through lower loaded RATs. Since artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques can learn optimal actions and adapt to different conditions, in this work, we develop an AI-enabled Q-agent for making data offloading decisions in a multi-RAT wireless network. …”

A review study on the use of dimethyl ether in diesel engines: effects on CO2 emissions by İsmet Sezer

“…The results showed that CO2 emissions decrease when using the pure DME and DME blends with diesel and LPG fuels due to the oxygen content and the lower carbon to hydrogen ratio of DME. The decrements in CO2 emissions for pure DME, diesel–DME blends and LPG–DME blend are about 5.2–18.3%, 3–41.6% and 10.6–16.4%, respectively.…”
