Visibility Bias in Aerial Surveys: a Review of Estimation Procedures Kenneth
Aerial surveys are often used to estimate the density of wildlife populations. A common problem is underestimation of population density due to animals being missed. This visibility bias can be quite serious and in this paper we review various methods of attempting its estimation. A variety of methods based on comparison with ground counts, use of a subpopulation of marked animals, mapping with...
متن کاملUse of Infrared Technology in Wildlife Surveys
With the exception of trapping-based methods, quantification of wildlife populations has traditionally involved counts of animal sign (e.g., nests, scat, or calls) or cues (e.g., breeches by marine mammals) as indices, or counts of individual animals or groups (i.e., direct counts). In addition to the “naked” eye, researchers have used binoculars, spotlights, and more recently, night-vision and...

Hughes & Gaztañaga (2001, see article in these proceedings) have presented realistic simulations to address key issues confronting existing and forthcoming submm surveys. An important aspect illustrated by the simulations is the effect induced on the counts by the sampling variance of the large-scale galaxy clustering. We find factors of up to ∼ 2 − 4 variation (from the mean) in the extracted ...
متن کاملAbnormal diagnosis of Emergency Department triage explored with data mining technology: An Emergency Department at a Medical Center in Taiwan taken as an example
Triage helps to classify patients at emergency departments to make the most effective use of resources distributed. What is more important is that accuracy in carrying out triage matters greatly in terms of medical quality, patient satisfaction and life security. As the numbers of patients in emergency departments increase, learning from the examples of abnormal diagnosis of triage in order to ...

Background and purpose: Head trauma is amongst the major causes of death and morbidity caused by traumatic injuries. Assessment of trauma patients is an active process which includes initial (triage) and secondary assessments. Various triage tools are designed and used, but, so far no specific and accurate tool has been introduced for triage of head trauma. This study compared the effectiveness...
