Understanding habitat use of critically endangered North Pacific right whales (NPRWs, Eubalaena japonica) is important to better evaluate the potential effects of anthropogenic activities and climate change on this species. Satellite transmitters were deployed on individual right whales in 2004, 2008 and 2009 to investigate whether their space-use patterns in the Southeastern Bering Sea (SEBS) ...

Evapotranspiration (ET) estimates are particularly needed for monitoring the available water of arid lands. Remote sensing data offer the ideal spatial and temporal coverage needed by irrigation water management institutions to deal with increasing pressure on available water. Low spatial resolution (LR) products present strong advantages. They cover larger zones and are acquired more frequentl...

Syndiotactic Polystyrene （SPS） has excellent electrical properties, and is expected to be applied high-frequency circuit boards. We made a study of the formation metal layer on smooth surface SPS resin through continuous plasma sputtering process, examined effects crystallinity addition styrene-ethylenbutylene-styrene （SEBS） peel strength. also investigated mechanism behind increased strength u...

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most promising biopolymers often used as a raw material in 3D printing many industrial areas. It has good mechanical properties, characterized by high strength and stiffness, but unfortunately, it some disadvantages; brittleness, other slow crystallization. Amounts 1–5% SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) thermoplastic elastomer were blended into PLA the...

In spite the significance of consumer engagement that scholars have recognized, there is a gap in understanding influencing factors social networking behaviors. light identity theory, this study considered susceptibility to interpersonal influence (SIPI) and self-expressive brands (SEBs) on Data from our research demonstrated SEBs SIPI were positively related brand attachment, which also impact...

attempts have been made for the first time to produce a friction material with thermal sensitive modulus by the inclusion of combined plastic/rubber properties of thermoplastic elastomers (tpe) as viscoelastic polymeric materials into the formulation for the purpose of increasing the damping behavior. in order to evaluate the viscoelastic parameters such as loss factor (tan δ) and elastic modul...
