Species living under large thermal fluctuations possibly need more flexible physiological capabilities than species living in more stable thermal environments. Deep-soil dwelling species habituate more stable thermal environments than surface dwelling species. We compared the flexibility of lipid composition in response to two acclimation temperatures of soil (4), near surface (2), and surface ...

in nigeria, crowded housing is one of the housing stresses that bother policy-makers and housing authorities.this study examines the crowding levels in seven marital status categories among the occupants of lagos state development and property corporation’s apartments. the focus is on the capacity of an apartment’s internal spaces to meet the sleeping needs of households in different marital ar...

To achieve the important tactical requirement of low probability of intercept (LPI) in the complex radar network, dynamically controlling the emission of the radars is very necessary. A novel radar dwelling time control strategy based on an interacting multiple model algorithm is presented in this paper, which controls the dwelling time of radar according to predicted covariance matrix during t...

Meniscus dynamic behaviors, as well as its optimal waveform of driving signal, in a squeeze mode piezoelectric inkjet device are studied in this paper. To use the squeeze mode piezoelectric inkjet device as a drop-on-demand dispenser, the driving signal is trapezium waveform. The parameters in a trapezium waveform of the driving signal include rise time (trise), dwelling time (tdwell), fall tim...

Regressive evolution of structures associated with vision in cave-dwelling organisms is the focus of intense research. Most work has focused on differences between extreme visual phenotypes: sighted, surface animals and their completely blind, cave-dwelling counterparts. We suggest that troglodytic systems, comprising multiple populations that vary along a gradient of visual function, may prove...

A fundamental part of studying human mobility is to detect dwelling. When we dwell we are not necessarily stationary, but move around in a confined area. Most of our significant places are indoors, which hampers the detection using GPS. In this work, we discuss three different sensor sources when used for dwelling detection in urban environments: GPS, Wi-Fi and geolocation. Our study is based o...
