The habitat use and seasonal migratory pattern of birds in Ethiopia is less explored as compared to diversity studies. To this end, this study aimed at investigating the patterns of distribution related to seasonality and the effect of habitat characteristics (elevation, slope, and average vegetation height) on habitat use of birds of Wondo Genet Forest Patch. A stratified random sampling desig...

Seven species of the genus Rhysida Wood, 1862 from Venezuela and one subspecies from Peru described by Manuel Angel González Sponga and Wolfgang Bücherl respectively, are revised. Rhysida caripensis González-Sponga, 2002, Rhysida neoespartana González-Sponga, 2002, Rhysida guayanica González-Sponga, 2002, Rhysida maritima González-Sponga, 2002, Rhysida monaguensis González-Sponga, 2002, Rhysida...

(Thesen und Bemerkungen zu den philosophischen Fragen und zur Situation der logisch-mathematischen Grundlagenforschung, 1937.) Volker's changes in bold, Richard's in underlined; incorporated uncontentious/stylistic changes.

The multiband MBP 98A pyrometer developed for non-contact temperature measurement of objects with unknown and wavelength-dependent emissivity has been presented in this paper. The pyrometer was designed using single thermoelectrically cooled PbS detector of spectral band of 1-2.5 Ilm and 8 narrow-band optical filters. It enables temperature measurement of objects at temperature within a range o...

The oviposition behaviour of four ant parasitoids was observed and filmed for the first time. The movies are available from YouTube (search for Elasmosoma, Hybrizon, Kollasmosoma and Neoneurus). Two of the observed species (Neoneurus vesculussp. n. and Kollasmosoma sentumsp. n.) are new to science. A third species (Neoneurus recticalcarsp. n.) is described from Slovakia and Norway. Keys to the ...

We present in this article a detailed analysis and implementation of the cartoon+texture decomposition algorithm proposed in [A. Buades, J.L. Lisani, “Directional filters for color cartoon + texture image and video decomposition”, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 2015]. This method follows the approach proposed by [A. Buades, T. Le, J-M. Morel, L. Vese, “Cartoon+Texture Image Decompo...

This paper introduces a simple and effective chaotic system using a combination of two existing one-dimension (1D) chaotic maps (seed maps). Simulations and performance evaluations show that the proposed system is able to produce many 1D chaotic maps with larger chaotic ranges and better chaotic behaviors compared with their seed maps. To investigate its applications in multimedia security, a n...

112106-6868 IJVIPNS-IJENS © December 2011 IJENS I J E N S Abstract—Bit dependency of image compression algorithms introduce error extension effects in transmission of compressed images and considerably reduce the received image quality. Channel coding provides protection against these errors but at the cost of increased bandwidth. Asymmetric modulation methods like QAM and QPSK provide alternat...

OBJECTIVES This article presents a new approach to intervention for eating disorders and body image concerns on college campuses, using a model of integrated eating disorder screening and intervention. Formative data on implementation feasibility are presented. PARTICIPANTS College students enrolled at 2 universities between 2011 and 2012. METHODS The Healthy Body Image program is an eviden...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for image feature extraction, namely the twodimensional local graph embedding, which is based on maximum margin criterion and thus not necessary to convert the image matrix into high-dimensional image vector and directly avoid computing the inverse matrix in the discriminant criterion. This method directly learns the optimal projective vectors from 2D im...
