Biodiversity offsets provide a mechanism for maintaining or enhancing environmental values in situations where development is sought, despite negative environmental impacts. They seek to ensure that unavoidable deleterious environmental impacts of development are balanced by environmental gains. When onsite impacts warrant the use of offsets there is often little attention paid to make sure tha...

Floods, snow, $5.00 corn, $.50 calves, and a $55 fed cattle market—What is this, a list of reasons not to be in the cattle business? No, just a description of 1996. In addition to these factors, there has been consumer frenzy regarding outbreaks of E. coli and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United States and Europe, respectively. All of these represent reasons why cattlemen need ...

Prognostics and health management (PHM) is a field of research and application which aims at making use of past, present and future information on the environmental, operational and usage conditions of an equipment in order to detect its degradation, diagnose its faults, predict and proactively manage its failures. The present paper reviews the state of knowledge on the methods for PHM, placing...

Infrared thermography (IRT) records the radiant heat of a body, which is emitted in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum that human vision is not able to identify. The thermal response depends on a number of specific physiological adjustments as body homeostasis and athlete’s health, which allow us to establishing interesting applications in sport. The aim of this study was to review the l...

Line-of-sight link blockages represent a key challenge for the reliability and latency of millimeter wave (mmWave) terahertz (THz) communication networks. To address this challenge, paper leverages mmWave LiDAR sensory data to provide awareness about environment proactively predict dynamic before they occur. This allows network make proactive decisions hand-off/beam switching, enhancing latency...
