The Flathead Catfish in Unchannelized and Channelized Missouri River, Nebraska

Flathead catfish, Py10dictus olivaris (Rafinesque), were studied in approximat~ly 83.7 km of unchannelized and 67.6 km miles of channelized Missouri River. Growth rates were slower in the unchannelized section than they were in the channelized section. The oldest fish in the unchannelized section was 25 years old, while in the channelized study area the oldest was 10 years. In the pectoral spin...

Investigate the Applicability of Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm in Determining the Optimal Dimensions of Concrete Dams

Acquiring optimal dimensions of concrete dams by reducing the cross section will reduce the volume of concrete used and consequently reduce construction costs. Due to multiplicity of constraints which leads to complexity of the decision space, meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have been increasingly used in optimal design of gravity dams. In this study, performance of Grey Wolf Optimizer w...

Population Ecology Estimating Occupancy and Predicting Numbers of Gray Wolf Packs in Montana Using Hunter Surveys

Reliable knowledge of the status and trend of carnivore populations is critical to their conservation and management. Methods for monitoring carnivores, however, are challenging to conduct across large spatial scales. In the Northern Rocky Mountains, wildlife managers need a timeand costefficient method for monitoring gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MFWP) ...

Use of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbineUse of gray wolf algorithm to optimize gas microturbine

 In this research, optimization of gas microturbine through economic, exergy and environmental analysis has been investigated by the gray wolf algorithm. First, a thermodynamic modeling was performed for each of the above modes, and then using the gray wolf method, optimum points were determined for each systemchr('39')s performance. For modeling, the code written in MATLAB software was used. ...
