Bats on a Budget: Torpor-Assisted Migration Saves Time and Energy
Bats and birds must balance time and energy budgets during migration. Migrating bats face similar physiological challenges to birds, but nocturnality creates special challenges for bats, such as a conflict between travelling and refueling, which many birds avoid by feeding in daylight and flying at night. As endothermic animals, bats and birds alike must expend substantial amounts of energy to ...
متن کاملAutomation in drug inventory management saves personnel time and budget.
Automation in the drug distribution processes is helpful to pharmacists in creating new clinical services. We have ameliorated the drug inventory control system seamlessly connected with the physician order-entry system. This control system application, named Artima, allows inventory functions to be faster and more efficient in real time. The medicines used in our hospital are automatically fix...
متن کاملThe time-energy budget of a moose.
As the first step in developing an optimal foraging model for moose (Belovsky 1978), a time-energy budget for a moose was developed. For the summer period (late May through early September) at Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, we made various behavioral observations on feeding moose and inventoried their food resources. Employing these various sets of data, we were able to determine the quan...

متن کاملPeer-assisted content distribution on a budget
In this paper, we propose a general framework and present a prototype implementation of peer-assisted content delivery application. Our system – called Cyclops – dynamically adjusts the bandwidth consumed by content servers (which represents the bulk of content delivery costs) to feed a set of swarming clients, based on a feedback signal that gauges the real-time health of the swarm. Our extens...
