Illuminating triangles, quadrilaterals and convex polygons with vertex floodlights.
… provide a theorem for illuminating a cocircular convex n-gon P of n vertices with a set of k vertex-floodlights, (k ≤ n) whose total sum is pi.

Investigating the Symmetry of the q,t-Catalan Polynomials Using New Statistics on Plane Binary Trees, Triangulations of Convex Polygons, and Paired Lattice Paths
… objects: plane binary trees, triangulations of convex polygons, and paired lattice paths; all of which are counted by the Catalan numbers. New statistics will be introduced on these objects in hopes of developing a combinatorial reason for the symmetry of the q,t-Catalan polynomials.

Home range and movement of the eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina) in East Central Illinois
… use, and nesting of Terrapene carolina. Minimum Convex Polygons (MCP) and Kernel Density Estimates at 95, 75, and 50% were used to measure home range size. Mean home range size was 7.4 ha (MCP) and 5.3 ha (95% Kernel). On average 76% of MCPs were overlapped by other radioed individuals. The home …

Hierarchical summer habitat selection by the North American porcupine in western Montana
… estimators (the 99% percentile) and minimum convex polygons. Mortality rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier staggered entry methods. Reproductive rates were estimated as the proportion of marked females known to have reproduced. At the second order the top model showed porcupines avoided …

Effects of Testosterone on the Spatial Ecology, Coloration, and Brain Regions in Western Fence Lizards, Sceloporus occidentalis
… later delineating those GPS points using minimum convex polygons (MCPs). We predicted that (1) castrated, T-treated lizards and unmanipulated control lizards would have larger home range sizes than castrated, control lizards c and (2) MC and DC cortices would be larger in volume and contain more …

On Distributed and Acoustic Sensing for Situational Awareness
… microphone and loudspeaker to reconstruct a 2-D convex polygonal room shape.</p> <p>For spectrum sensing, we study the optimality of energy detection that has been widely used in the literature. This thesis studies the potential optimality (or sub-optimality) of the energy detector in spectrum …

Factors Influencing Ectoparasitism on Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis): Host Sex, Testosterone, Reproductive Condition, and Behavior
… home range sizes were calculated as minimum convex polygons and ectoparasite intensities were quantified. Results of this study revealed no significant difference in ectoparasite intensities between high and low testosterone male lizards, but male lizards did have significantly higher …

Ecology and morphology of the Kalahari tent tortoise, Psammobates oculifer, in a semi-arid environment
… among individuals: 0.7–306 ha for minimum convex polygons and 0.7–181 ha for 95% fixed kernel estimates. The ability to cover large areas would assist tortoises in finding resources, e.g., food, in an area where resource distribution may be patchy. Differences among seasonal home ranges and …
