Roads affect the connectivity of habitat and inhibit movements animals as a result road avoidance road-related mortalities. Freshwater turtles are particularly vulnerable to mortality on roads, females must often cross them when they leave aquatic environment nest. Ecopassages designed enable safe movement across roads by wild may be an effective measure reduce adverse impacts. Limited informat...

in this paper, free convection in an inclined stepped chamber has been studied. one wall of this enclosure is kept cold and the opposite wall equipped with constant heat source. the remaining walls are maintained adiabatic. there is one adiabatic step on the bottom wall. the aim of the present study is to forecast the effect of raleigh number, slope of enclosure, step dimension, and heat source...

a numerical investigation of laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a shallow two-sided lid driven rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 5, (ar=5) is executed. the natural convection effect is sustained by subjecting the bottom wall to a higher temperature than its top counterpart. in addition, the two horizontal walls of the enclosure are moving in different directions and the two vertical ...

We studied immune responses of the jird Meriones crassus to different flea species belonging to the same family. We used jirds maintained in an outdoor enclosure (enclosure; N=18) and parasitized by fleas Xenopsylla conformis mycerini and Xenopsylla ramesis, and also jirds born in the laboratory to previously parasitized mothers (laboratory animals; N=23). We asked (i) whether cross-immunity to...

organization of living environment is possible through a clear definition of private and public arenas and determinationof a spatial hierarchy. such defined arenas increase the sense of belonging to the environment which personalizesresidential environments. enclosure is among the quantities that play a significant role in defining the spaces. in fact,enclosure is the factor that defines a spac...

in this paper, it was shown that , where  and , and , where  is not prime and , are od-characterizable.

This paper evaluates SLEFEs (Subdividable Linear Efficient Function Enclosures) as an optimal method to bound functions. It investigates the extension to all degrees of the degree three proof in [1] showing that SLEFE widths are at most 7% larger than the widths of the smallest possible linear enclosure. This paper shows that such an extension may be difficult to generalize. However, comparison...

Many problems in applied mathematics can be formulated as a system of nonlinear equations or inequalities, and a broad subset are those problems consisting either partially or completely of multivariate polynomials. Broadly speaking, an ‘enclosure’ method attempts to solve such a problem over a specified region of interest, commonly a box subset of Rn, where n is the number of unknowns. Subdivi...
