Securing black lion tamarin populations: improving habitat-based inputs and risks for population viability analysis to inform management decisions by Francy Forero-Sánchez, Francy Forero-Sánchez, Gabriela Cabral Rezende, Gabriela Cabral Rezende, Cláudio Valladares-Pádua, Cláudio Valladares-Pádua, Fabio Stucchi Vannucchi, Fabio Stucchi Vannucchi, Leandro Jerusalinsky, Leandro Jerusalinsky, Luciana Pacca, Kathy Traylor-Holzer

“…The resulting population viability projections using Vortex simulation software identify core subpopulations with low extinction risk and high gene diversity, as well as smaller subpopulations with low long-term viability, highlighting the need for targeted conservation strategies across the fragmented metapopulation.…”

The Circulation Distribution on the Lifting Line for a Given Extracted Power by Ali Helali, Badreddine Kamoun, David Afungchui, Mohamed Jomaa Safi

“…A code has been developed which incorporates the real pitch of the helicoidal vortex wake. Very promising results have been obtained: the circulation distribution for a given extracted power and the chord lengths distribution law along the blade span.…”

High-order optical Hall effect at the tight focus of laser radiation by V.V. Kotlyar, S.S. Stafeev, E.S. Kozlova

“…It is shown that when focusing a linearly polarized optical vortex with unit topological charge, four local subwavelength regions are formed in the focal plane, in which directions of the longitudinal projection of the spin angular momentum are opposite in the neighboring regions. …”
