The Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) is applied to accurate detection of optical fiber sensors in the spectral domain.By processing an optical spectrum, although coarsely sampled, through the KLT, and Antenna Socket subsequently processing the obtained eigenvalues, it is possible to decode a plurality of optical sensor results.The KLT returns higher
The Geographical Distribution and Correlates of Pro-Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors in an Urban Region
A lot of emphasis has been put on the densification of urban form to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.However, many recent studies have found that central urban dwellers, even though their carbon footprints of daily transportation may be lower, might be responsible for higher total emissions than those that reside in suburban are
Vegetation Cover Dynamics and Resilience to Climatic and Hydrological Disturbances in Seasonal Floodplain: The Effects of Hydrological Connectivity
Floodplain wetlands are valuable ecosystems for maintaining biodiversity, but are vulnerable to hydrological modification and climatic extremes.The floodplain wetlands in the middle Yangtze region are biodiversity hotspots, particularly important for wintering migratory waterbirds.In recent years, extremely low winter water level events frequently
The effect of sex and rearing system on carcass composition and cut yields of broiler chickens
The objective of this study is an analysis of meat quality in broilers of standard fast-growing hybrid Hybro G, reared in two different non-industrial systems (extensive rearing in a poultry house or "extensive indoor" system and rearing in a poultry house using a free range or "free-range" system).Quality parameters, i.e.proportions of basic carca
