Fractal landscape method: an alternative approach to measuring area-restricted searching behavior.
Quantifying spatial and temporal patterns of prey searching is of primary importance for understanding animals' critical habitat and foraging specialization. In patchy environments, animals forage by exhibiting movement patterns consisting of area-restricted searching (ARS) at various scales. Here, we present a new method, the fractal landscape method, which describes the peaks and valleys of f...

خطر شکارگری بسته به گونه شکارگر و سایر عوامل برهم کنشی مانند حضور رقیب متغیر است.بنابراین، لازم است که افراد مورد حمله ، نسبت به ترکیب بندپایان موجود، پاسخ مناسبی از خود بروز دهند. در باغ های آلبالوی برغان (کرج، ایران)، کنه (Zetzellia mali (Ewing از خانواده Phytoseiidae به عنوان یکی از گونه های شکارگری محسوب می شود که از افراد جوان کنه Amphitetranychus viennensis (Zacher) از خانواده Tetranychid...
متن کاملStructural-Functional Dynamism: An Alternative Approach to Spatial
Spatial planning approaches along with complication of societies are being changed. These changes and transformations have reflected themselves in increasing diversification of economic patterns, people, group, organization, and institution’s mobility. While in less developed network societies some of the concepts including “distance” and “movement “are relatively losing their importance , some...
متن کاملMeasuring Hospital Performance Using Mortality Rates: An Alternative to the RAMR
Background The risk-adjusted mortality rate (RAMR) is used widely by healthcare agencies to evaluate hospital performance. The RAMR is insensitive to case volume and requires a confidence interval for proper interpretation, which results in a hypothesis testing framework. Unfamiliarity with hypothesis testing can lead to erroneous interpretations by the public and other stakeholders. We argue t...
متن کاملOn The Behavior of Malaysian Equities: Fractal Analysis Approach
Fractal analyzing of continuous processes have recently emerged in literatures in various domains. Existence of long memory in many processes including financial time series have been evidenced via different methodologies in many literatures in past decade, which has inspired many recent literatures on quantifying the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) characteristics of financial time series. Th...
