Abstract:
... Mineral dust is an important type of ice nucleating particles in the troposphere; however, the effects of heterogeneous reactions on ice nucleation (IN) activities of mineral dust remain to be elucidated. A droplet-freezing apparatus (Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry Ice Nucleation Apparatus, GIGINA) was developed in this work to measure IN activities of atmospheric particles in the immersion f ...

Eimeria vilasi was found in 12 of 35 (34%), and E. beecheyi in 2 of 35 (6%), golden-mantled ground squirrels in Arizona. Sporulated oocysts of E. vilasi were ovoidal, 18.1 × 15.8 (15–21 × 13–18) µm, with a length/width ratio of 1.1 (1.0–1.3), and 1–4 polar granules. ...

Monitoring typically occurs after hatchery-reared fish are released to assess post-stocking movement and survival. We conducted a two-year study, in which tow-barge electrofishing and portable, flat-bed passive integrated transponder (PIT) antennas were used to monitor PIT-tagged, hatch ...

This volcanic landscape has been a cultural center for Native American spiritual activities for up to 23,000 years. During that time, they have come to perceive volcanoes as earth navels and thus places where the ...

Abstract:
... The operating resistance of a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter is affected by the environment and cannot be obtained through the dust holding capacity (DHC) test in the laboratory. For non-flat HEPA filters, studies on the effect of non-uniform deposition of particles on operating resistance were insufficient. We proposed an equivalent permeability coefficient (EPC) method to calculat ...

Abstract:
... Animals from urban areas are regularly brought into wildlife rehabilitation centers, providing untapped potential data records to inform management of wildlife species. Although rescues may be considered a wildlife stewardship behavior, not all ‘rescues’ may be warranted. Some animals are more likely to be brought into a rescue center than others, suggesting that human drivers underlying wildlife ...
