Wildlife researchers need to understand the effects of biotelemetry tags in order better weigh benefits versus risks. We describe tag-site healing and pathology three beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, found dead Alaska. The were secured with two or nylon rods that pierced dorsal ridge, one also had a LIMPET tag. tag wounds Cook Inlet featured normal response minimal inflammation ~12 years p...

An experimental wireless link and specific absorption rate (SAR) assessment is presented in this work. A compact planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) designed evaluated for biotelemetry application as an at 2.45 GHz band. The proposed provided a satisfactory bandwidth per unit volume using two-layered stacked structure consisting of high-frequency laminate low loss ceramic layer. was first co-desig...

abstractbackground: although electronic portal imaging devices (epids) have originally developed for positioning verification, they can also be used for dosimetric purposes. in the current work, the dose response of minimum detectable thickness of a scanning liquid filled ion chamber epid, slic-epid, and the variation of transmitted dose with the shift of inhomogeneity inside of phantom was als...

with the increase of communication and financial transaction through internet, on-line signature verification is an accepted biometric technology for access control and plays a significant role in authenticity and authorization in modernized society. therefore, fast and precise algorithms for the signature verification are very attractive. the goal of this paper is modeling of velocity signal t...

during the last several years, application of numerical weather prediction models in the country have become common in both research and operations, even though systematic verification of the models’ results using statistical methods has rarely been conducted (sodoudi et al. 2009). this paper aims at comparing the mm5 24-hour precipitation forecasts with the corresponding observations using sta...
