Observations of the Sun with the LOWL instrument provide a homogeneous set of solar p-mode frequencies from low to intermediate degree which allows one to determine the structure of much of the solar interior avoiding systematic errors that are introduced when different data sets are combined, i.e., principally the effects of solar cycle changes on the frequencies. Unfortunately, the LOWL data ...

Natural areas have been reserved for thousands of years. However, the reasons for reservation have changed with time. Natural areas management objectives have changed from personal/individual human needs to environmental protection. Unlike old protected areas, new protected areas have multiple management objectives. The management objectives changed from protection for now to protection for the...

We study a random walk on Z which evolves in a dynamic environment determined by its own trajectory. Sites flip back and forth between two modes, p and q. R consecutive right jumps from a site in the q-mode are required to switch it to the p-mode, and L consecutive left jumps from a site in the p-mode are required to switch it to the q-mode. From a site in the p-mode the walk jumps right with p...

This paper is a brief survey of IEEE 802.11i based WPA2 or Wi-Fi protected Mode protocol popularly called as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Mode Protocol. In this paper we tried our best to include all possible information about WPA from trusted sources in a very precise manner. Apart from the above the paper also explores wireless networking standards in brief so that one can become familiar wit...

Abstract Protected areas with restricted management can provide refugia for fungi, but are usually selected based on conservation strategies flora and fauna. Despite the important role of fungi in floodplains, they rarely considered projects. The SwissFungi database covering all biogeographic regions Switzerland, consisting 84% citizen science data, provided a valuable basis to define fungal ri...

The desire to see free ranging large carnivores in their natural habitat is a driver of tourism in protected areas around the globe. However, large carnivores are wide-ranging and subject to human-caused mortality outside protected area boundaries. The impact of harvest (trapping or hunting) on wildlife viewing opportunities has been the subject of intense debate and speculation, but quantitati...
