In boreal forests of western Canada, linear features (LFs; e.g., pipelines, seismic lines, and roads) are known to alter behaviour, movements, and interactions among species. Understanding LF impacts on native species has therefore been a management priority. Here, we investigate how LFs affect...
However, many areas of Ireland have the biophysical potential for a range of land-uses and tree species. Studies in a forestry context have suggested that proper sustainable forest management (SFM) will depend on the balance between its three pillars (environmental, social and economic) and their...

A proposed controller synthesis is accomplished for the LPV model of non-linear vehicle suspension such that a minimum allowable disturbance attenuation level could be achieved by satisfying a set of LMIs. In the suspension system, the non-linear part of a position-dependent spring and velocity-...

In order to generate a highly accurate distribution map of average annual precipitation for the Loess Plateau in China, multiple linear regression Kriging (MLRK) and geographically weighted regression Kriging (GWRK) methods were employed using precipitation data from the period 1980–2010 from 435 ...

Introduction The arrays of wave energy converters (WECs) are a necessary trend of wave energy utilization for commercial viability. However, the hydrodynamic interactions among floating bodies in an array have a great effect on the overall wave-power extraction. Therefore, the research on parameters ...
