Ahstracr: I tested the effectiveness of squirrel excluder devices (SQEDs) in deterring southern flying squirrels (G h ucom y s rduns ) from using artificial red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoidcs horeulis) cavities by placing them on approximately one-half of the cavities in I4 inactive recruitment clusters on the Savannah River Site, South Carolina. SQEDs consisted of 2 pieces of 35.5-cm wide alumi...

The high price of flying fish eggs in Japan encourages South Sulawesi fishermen in Indonesia to harvest increasing quantities of eggs every year. Similarly, the increasing local demand for flying fish encourages Indonesian fishermen to use gill nets to catch more fish. As a consequence of this increasing quantity of eggs harvested and fish caught, Indonesia has become concerned about the overex...

The circuit board manufacturing community is now ready to embrace the concept of moving probe in-circuit test systems, also known as Flying Probers. This is due not only to the ability of Flying Probers to eliminate the cost of fixturing, but also to their new ability to satisfy the overall test requirements. This opens up the opportunity to test a new class of boards that are not cost effectiv...

-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has been widely used in both military and civilian fields in recent years. With the development of UAV, high quality training for the UAV operators on the ground is necessary and urgent, the fidelity of simulation training system is very important, the fidelity training system can simulate the flying environment on the sky, the flying simulation software is the co...

Congestion of flights arriving at terminal areas invariably leads to aircraft having to extend their flying time, which often results in the need to orbit at a holding point as aircraft are sequenced to land. This extended flying time can be significantly reduced by the implementation of the delay-on-ground concept, where aircraft flying short sectors are delayed in their departure from the res...

this paper gives a detailed analysis of direct torque control (dtc) strategy in a five-level drive and proposes a 24-sector switching table. the overvoltage problem due to high dv/dt is reduced compared to the 12-sector dtc. using all vectors leads to better flexibility and reduces speed oscillations. simulation and experimental results for a 3kva prototype confirm the proposed solutions. a tms...

We propose the flying object that adapts itself to the environment by means of the dynamic behavior change mechanism. The flying object is user-defined, first-class and abstract entity. Such properties provide independency and transparency. The flying object model establishes a unique decomposition of the flying object. In this model, the flying object consists of four objects: the delegator th...

Flying is often associated with superior visual performance, as good vision is crucial for detection and implementation of rapid visually guided aerial movements. To understand the evolution of insect visual systems it is therefore important to compare phylogenetically related species with different investments in flight capability. Here, we describe and compare morphological and electrophysiol...

Flying foxes, the genus Pteropus, are considered viral reservoirs. Their colonial nature and long flight capability enhance their ability to spread viruses quickly. To understand how the viral transmission occurs between flying foxes and other animals, we investigated daytime behavior of the large flying fox (Pteropus vampyrus) in the Leuweung Sancang conservation area, Indonesia, by using inst...

The efficacy of virtual reality (VR) exposure therapy was examined for the fear of flying. Virtual reality exposure involved six sessions of graded exposure to flying in a virtual airplane. The specific contribution of anxiety management techniques (AMT) and the VR exposure was examined in a single case design. The subject was a 42-year-old female with a debilitating fear and avoidance of flyin...
