Camera traps are electrical instruments that emit sounds and light. In recent decades they have become a tool of choice in wildlife research and monitoring. The variability between camera trap models and the methods used are considerable, and little is known about how animals respond to camera trap emissions. It has been reported that some animals show a response to camera traps, and in researc...

Effects of finite temperature correction to the dilepton emission rate in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions have been looked into. It has been seen that although the ρ-peak in the dilepton spectra from the hadronic sector is suppressed at very high temperatures, almost no effect can be observed in the space time integrated count rate.

Traditionally, specific DNA recognition is thought to rely on static contacts with the bases or phosphates. Recent results, however, indicate that residues far outside the binding context can crucially influence selectivity or binding affinity via transient, dynamic interactions with the DNA binding interface. These regions usually do not adopt a well-defined structure, even when bound to DNA, ...

Biometrics promise the ability to automatically identify individuals from reasonably easy to measure and hard to falsify characteristics. They are increasingly being investigated for use in large scale identification applications in the context of increased national security awareness. This paper addresses some of the security and privacy implications of biometric storage. Biometric systems rec...
