Manipulative field experiments carried out on sheltered rocky shores investigated settlement and post-settlement interactions between Semibalanus balanoides and three species of fucoid canopy algae, Fucus spiralis L., Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis and Fucus serratus L. All three species had a negative effect on settlement and early recruitment of S. balanoides, densities being significantly...

Childhood malnutrition remains common in India. We visited families in 40 urban informal settlement areas in Mumbai to document stunting, wasting, and overweight in children under five, and to examine infant and young child feeding (IYCF) in children under 2 years. We administered questions on eight core WHO IYCF indicators and on sugary and savory snack foods, and measured weight and height of...

Therefore all workers are simultaneously learners, and the workplace is a learning environment, albeit an impoverished one. We have added two tools to the corporate intranet to provide individualized learning experiences for every employee. Both tools provide feedback related to the information employees post on the i...

We investigated the relationship between survival and predator pressure, prey behaviour and patch availability (i.e. settlement areas). Survival of dispersing individuals was highly depende...

The ability of nest predation to influence habitat settlement decisions in birds is widely debated, despite its importance in limiting fitness. Here, we experimentally manipulated nest predation risk across a landscape and asked the question, do migratory birds assess and respond to variation in nest predation risk when choosing breeding habitats? We examined habitat preference by quantifying t...

Despite the fact that image texture features extracted from high-resolution remotely sensed images over urban areas have demonstrated their ability to distinguish different classes, they are still far from being ideal. Multiresolution grayscale and rotation invariant texture classification with Local Binary Patterns (LBPs) have proven to be a very powerful texture feature. In this paper we perf...
