Foraging and habitat use of eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) in an urban landscape
(
Springer Nature
, 2015 , Article)
Urban landscapes such as college campuses, arboretums, and backyards provide excellent habitats for education and research into animal behavior. We investigated aspects of the foraging activity of free-ranging Eastern ...
Weighted estimates for oscillatory singular integrals
(2013 , Article)
We establish uniform bounds for oscillatory singular integrals as well as oscillatory singular integral operators. We allow the singular kernel to be given by a function in the Hardy space H1(Sn-1), while such results were ...
Model for oscillations in the guidance of ions through insulating nanocapillaries
(
IOP Publishing
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
The pre-equilibrium period of the ion guiding through insulating nanocapillaries is characterized by the production of temporary charge patches inside the capillaries. The dynamics of the charge patch creation is revealed ...
Assessing uncertainty in sighting records: An example of the Barbary lion
(
PeerJ
, 2015 , Article)
As species become rare and approach extinction, purported sightings can be controversial, especially when scarce management resources are at stake.We consider the probability that each individual sighting of a series is ...
Adsorption of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid onto date seeds activated carbon: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
(2012 , Article)
Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide on activated carbon prepared from Barhi date seeds were determined from batch tests. The effects of contact time, initial herbicide ...
Tailoring the reducibility and catalytic activity of CuO nanoparticles for low temperature CO oxidation
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2018 , Article)
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have received considerable interest as active and inexpensive catalysts for various gas–solid reactions. The CuO reducibility and surface reactivity are of crucial importance for the high ...
Effect of soil moisture on the response of soil respiration to open-field experimental warming and precipitation manipulation
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2017 , Article)
Soil respiration (RS, Soil CO2 efflux) is the second largest carbon (C) flux in global terrestrial ecosystems, and thus, plays an important role in global and regional C cycling; moreover, it acts as a feedback mechanism ...
Dynamics of charge evolution in glass capillaries for 230-keV Xe23 + ions
(
American Physical Society
, 2012 , Article)
We have measured the transmission of 230-keV (10-keV/q) Xe23+ ions through insulating tapered glass capillaries of microscopic dimensions. The dynamics of charging and discharging processes have been investigated, evidencing ...
Discoursing ‘democratic knowledge’ & knowledge production in North Africa
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2015 , Other)
North Africa (interchangeably used with the term ‘Maghrib’) has historically featured as a contributor to Euro-Med cultures and civilisations. Mesopotamia, Egypt and Phoenicia all at one point in time or another mediated ...
A Novel Green Synthesis of Thalidomide and Analogs
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2017 , Article)
Thalidomide and its derivatives are currently under investigation for their antiangiogenic, immunomodulative, and anticancer properties. Current methods used to synthesize these compounds involve multiple steps and extensive ...
