Backscattering modeling of wheat using vector radiative transfer theory
(2015-04-21)
A microwave backscattering model of winter wheat based on the vector radiative transfer theory has been established. The model focused on the distribution of wheat ears that are directly related to the yield. In addition, ...
Predictors for Using a HIV Self-Test Among Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in North Carolina
(2015-07-17)
Background: Approximately, two million migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSF) work in the United States annually. Several factors, such as lack of access to healthcare services and health behaviors, contribute to risk of ...
Mismatched anti-predator behavioral responses in predator-naïve larval anurans
(2015-12-07)
Organisms are adept at altering behaviors to balance the tradeoff between foraging and predation risk in spatially and temporally shifting predator environments. In order to optimize this tradeoff, prey need to be able to ...
Risk assessment based on indirect predation cues: revisiting fine-grained variation
(2015-10)
To adaptively express inducible defenses, prey must gauge risk based on indirect cues of predation. However, the information contained in indirect cues that enable prey to fine-tune their phenotypes to variation in risk ...
Improving Low-Relief Coastal LiDAR DEMs with Hydro-Conditioning of Fine-Scale and Artificial Drainages
(2015-11-23)
Improvements in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and spatial analysis of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) have advanced the accuracy and diversity of applications for coastal hazards and natural ...
