Evaluating summarised radionuclide concentration ratio datasets for wildlife.
Concentration ratios (CR(wo-media)) are used in most radioecological models to predict whole-body radionuclide activity concentrations in wildlife from those in environmental media. This simplistic approach amalgamates the various factors influencing transfer within a single generic value and, as a result, comparisons of model predictions with site-specific measurements can vary by orders of ma...
متن کاملRadionuclide biological half-life values for terrestrial and aquatic wildlife.
The equilibrium concentration ratio is typically the parameter used to estimate organism activity concentrations within wildlife dose assessment tools. Whilst this is assumed to be fit for purpose, there are scenarios such as accidental or irregular, fluctuating, releases from licensed facilities when this might not be the case. In such circumstances, the concentration ratio approach may under-...
متن کاملEvaluating batteries for advanced wildlife telemetry tags
We evaluate miniature batteries as potential power sources for advanced wildlife telemetry tags. These tags are often based on integrated UHF transceivers that are designed for wireless sensor networks and that consume 18-85mA while receiving or transmitting. This current drain is challenging for many types of miniature batteries. We evaluate batteries both on actual tags and in a specialized s...
متن کاملEvaluating MODIS data for mapping wildlife habitat distribution
Habitat distribution models have a long history in ecological research. With the development of geospatial information technology, including remote sensing, these models are now applied to an ever-increasing number of species, particularly those located in areas in which it is logistically difficult to collect habitat data in the field. Many habitat studies have used data acquired by multi-spec...
متن کاملEvaluating SPARQL Queries on Massive RDF Datasets
Distributed RDF systems partition data across multiple computer nodes. Partitioning is typically based on heuristics that minimize inter-node communication and it is performed in an initial, data pre-processing phase. Therefore, the resulting partitions are static and do not adapt to changes in the query workload; as a result, existing systems are unable to consistently avoid communication for ...
