Animal social network is the key to understand many ecological and epidemiological processes.We used real-time location system (RTLS) to accurately track cattle position, analyze their proximity networks, and tested the hypothesis of temporal stationarity Shoes and spatial homogeneity in these networks during different daily time periods and in dif
Genetic variation and character association for grain yield and component traits in traditional rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars of Assam
An experiment was conducted with a view to obtain information of genetic parameters of variation and character association for 13 quantitative traits in a set of 64 rice cultivars of Assam.The study revealed significant differences for all the traits under study.Highest genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for the trait biological yield
Vegetation diversity of Pinus pinaster forests in the Italian Peninsula
Aim: To revise Pinus pinaster-dominated communities of the Italian peninsula with special regard to central-southern Tuscany, and assess their floristic and ecological differences.Study area: Tuscany and Liguria regions, Italy.Methods: We classified 251 vegetation plots using the Two-way indicator species analysis method and we explored vegetation
An Energy Conserving and Transmission Radius Adaptive Scheme to Optimize Performance of Energy Harvesting Sensor Networks
In energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EHWSNs), the energy tension of the network can be relieved by obtaining the energy from the surrounding environment, but the cost on hardware cannot be ignored.Therefore, how to minimize the cost of energy harvesting hardware to reduce the network deployment cost, and further optimize the network perfo
