Roads are a major cause of habitat fragmentation that can negatively affect many mammal populations. Mitigation measures such as crossing structures are a proposed method to reduce the negative effects of roads on wildlife, but the best methods for determining where such structures should be implemented, and how their effects might differ between species in mammal communities is largely unknown...

this research chiefly focused on the application of mitigation strategies and traditional form of feedback in writing development of the fifth semester university students majoring in tefl and english translation fields based on vygotsky’s sociocultural theory in general and the notion of “zone of proximal development” in particular. to that end, this study relied on a pre-posttest experimental...

This paper presents a comprehensive Non Line of Sight (NLOS) localization scheme in a multipath environment where the scatterers with smooth surfaces are aligned parallel or perpendicular to each other. It leverages on the estimation of Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time of Arrival (TOA) of the omni-directional mobile device’s signal received at the reference devices. Unlike the conventional Line ...

background:  ramsar, a northern city in iran, lies on the coast of the caspian sea. this city has areas with some of the highest levels of natural radiation measured to date. the radon concentration in some areas of ramsar is up to 3700 bq m–3. on the other hand, due to high level of humidity, damp-proof barriers should be used in construction of new buildings in radon prone areas of this city....

This white paper introduces key dependability aspects for industrial and automotive customers who are designing and developing programmable electronic equipment for safety applications using Xilinx® FPGA and SoC devices. The main focus of this white paper is to explain how to create solutions with highly integrated, high-performance certif iable systems that target IEC 61508 / ISO 26262 norms. ...

In a home networking environment where more than one radio devices that are using 2.4GHz band within a certain distance may result in a significant interference. This research mainly focused on particular technologies that operate in 2.4GHz radio channel analysing the fact that the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radio operation in a wireless network environment may create interference and may deliver poor...

The readout error on near-term quantum devices is one of the dominant noise factors, which can be mitigated by classical postprocessing called mitigation (QREM). standard QREM applies inverse calibration matrix to outcome probability distribution using exponential computational resources number measured qubits. This becomes infeasible for current with tens qubits or more. Here we propose two ef...

Wildlife warning signs are the most commonly used and widespread form of road impact mitigation, aimed at reducing the incidence of wildlife-vehicle collisions. Evidence of the effectiveness of currently used signs is rare and often indicates minimal change in driver behaviour. Improving the design of these signs to increase the likelihood of appropriate driver response has the potential to red...
