Investigating the Performance of Honey Badger Algorithm for Multi-Hop Routing Wireless Sensor Network
… This study explores the use of the Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), introduced in 2020, for optimizing multi-hop routing in WSNs using Matlab 2023b. HBA selects clusters, elects cluster-heads, and designates second-layer cluster-heads to enhance data transmission. Across 12 simulated …

Secondary Traumatic Stress & Emergency Department Registered Nurses in Ontario: A Cross-Sectional Study
… such as death, injury, or critical illness (Badger, 2001). Emergency department (ED) nurses are especially susceptible to STS due to frequent exposure to traumatic events (Ratrout & Hamdan-Mansour, 2017). This study aimed to (a) determine the prevalence of STS amongst registered nurses (RNs) …

Food Habits and Energy Utilization of Badgers
… determine food habits and energy utilization of badgers. Digestive tracts were collected in eastern South Dakota from November 1966 to November 1967. A male and a female badger were used for two energy-balance and three digestion trials. Ground squirrels, mice and rabbits were found to be the …

Parenting Practices in Emerging Adulthood: Development of a New Measure
… (Nelson, Walker, Carroll, Madsen, Barry, & Badger, 2006), parents may continue to "parent" for much longer than we have typically believed. Although parenting may still play an important role, little research has been done examining parenting in emerging adulthood, including its correlates …

Zinc Sunscreens Affect Development of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus Embryos
… ZnSO<sub>4</sub>; and ZnO sunscreens: All Good, Badger, and Raw Elements. ZnO sunscreens were slightly more toxic than ZnO and ZnSO<sub>4</sub>, suggesting that the sunscreens may release additional unknown materials that are detrimental to sea urchin embryo development. All concentrations of Zn …

Chemical communication in the European otter, Lutra lutra
… (L. lutra, A. cinerea, L. canadensis, and badger, Meles meles) differences in the headspace chemicals of otter scent marks. Inter-sanctuary (possibly diet related) differences in spraint odour of L. lutra were seen. No overall male - female differences were found, although possible …

Badgers (Meles meles) as reservoirs of vector-borne infections in the UK
… regions are not an exception. Whilst Eurasian badgers (Meles meles) are known to host a wide range of pathogens, information on haemoparasites of badgers, their role as reservoirs of vector-borne infections, and whether ticks parasitizing these badgers pose any risk to animal or human health is …

Dissecting Earliness per se and Photoperiod heading date effects in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)
… both short and long day conditions for Charger X Badger. The gene TaFT3 a homologue of the HvFT3/Ppd-H2 is suggested as the candidate for the 1BL QTL because two mutant alleles, a deletion and a conserved amino acid change seem to account for most of the variation under short days. Twenty-five …

Middle Miocene carbon cycle dynamics: A multi-proxy approach
The development of permanent, stable ice sheets in Antarctica happened during the middle Miocene, about 14 million years ago (Flower and Kennett, 1995; Zachos et al., 2001). The middle Miocene therefore represents one of the distinct phases of rapid change in the transition from the “greenhouse” of …
