Site Selection of Kangan Municipal Solid Waste Landfill by Using a Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and GIS
Given the potential negative environmental impacts linked with wild landfills in the central part of the Kangan Region, there is a significant need to accelerate the development of controlled inter-municipal landfills. The study area with daily production of 92 tons of waste, due to lack of recycling equipment and incorrect locating landfill is faced with numerous environmental, health and soci...
متن کاملEcology and neurophysiology of sleep in two wild sloth species.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Interspecific variation in sleep measured in captivity correlates with various physiological and environmental factors, including estimates of predation risk in the wild. However, it remains unclear whether prior comparative studies have been confounded by the captive recording environment. Herein we examine the effect of predation pressure on sleep in sloths living in the wild...
متن کاملThe behavioral ecology of sleep: Natural sleeping site choice in three Anolis lizard species
Where animals sleep may be an important component of their behavioral ecology, as sleeping renders animals immobile and hypothetically vulnerable for long periods. Yet, sleep is rarely studied outside of the laboratory. To investigate factors that influence natural sleeping behavior, we examined sleeping locations of three sympatric species of territorial Anolis lizards (Anolis lineatopus, A. g...
متن کاملA Multiple Objective Nonlinear Programming Model for Site Selection of the Facilities Based on the Passive Defense Principles
One of the main principles of the passive defense is the principle of site selection. In this paper, we propose a multiple objective nonlinear programming model that considers the principle of the site selection in terms of two qualitative and quantitative aspects. The purpose of the proposed model is selection of the place of facilities of a system in which not only it observes the dispersion ...
متن کاملSleeping site selection by proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Primates spend at least half their lives sleeping; hence, sleeping site selection can have important effects on behavior and fitness. As proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) often sleep along rivers and form bands (aggregations of one male groups) at their sleeping sites, understanding sleeping site selection may shed light on two unusual aspects of this species' socioecology: their close assoc...
