Fungal Flora of a Cove on Lake Falcon
A 12 month study of a cove in the riverine end of Falcon Lake was conducted to identify the fungal flora associated with submerged plant substrates. The substrates included stems of Arundo donax, Prosopis glandulosa, and Salix nigra which were collected monthly. The leaves of Salix nigra were also …

Current Status of Falcon Populations in Saudi Arabia
<p>Falcons (Falco spp.) are widely used for falconry in the countries of the Middle East. During the 2015 breeding season, we surveyed historic and active nest sites of Barbary (Falco pelegrinoides pelegrinoides) and Lanner (F. biarmicus) Falcons in Saudi Arabia. Field and questionnaire surveys …

FALCON: Fast Visual Concept Learning by Integrating Images, Linguistic descriptions, and Conceptual Relations
… images. In this thesis, we introduce model FALCON. FALCON represents individual visual concepts, such as colors and shapes, as axis-aligned boxes in a high-dimensional space (the “box embedding space”). Given an input image and its paired sentence, our model first resolves the referential …

FALCON: Fine-Time-Measurement to Approach, Localize, and Track RF Targets via Drone Networks
We present FALCON, a novel mobile sensing system to approach, localize, and track RF targets via drone networks. We leverage existing Wi-Fi technology and its recent Fine Time Measurement (FTM) protocol to realize the first FTM sensing drones that can dynamically range targets in a mission. FALCON …

Application of the novint falcon haptic device as an actuator in real-time control
… system whose purpose is to control the Novint Falcon as a robot, and B) to develop a control experiment that demonstrates the use the Novint Falcon as a robotic actuator. The contents of this report are therefore divided into two parts. Part A deals specifically with the Novint Falcon, which is …

No universal support for solar glare as an evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons
The paired dark malar or moustachial stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are putatively adaptive plumage features whose function and evolutionary significance are poorly understood, and have rarely been investigated in published literature. A popular hypothesis for the function of falcon malar stripes …

Transient modeling of host rock for a deep borehole nuclear waste repository
… framework was chosen for this purpose, where the FALCON application, developed at INL, was adopted as baseline. This application had previously been applied for simulation of fluid flow and heat transport in geothermal reservoirs, and therefore provided a valuable reference. Additional features …

Atmospheric Aerosol Particle Formation : Aircraft-Based Mass Spectrometric Measurements of Gaseous and Ionic Aerosol Precursors
… was integrated into the German research aircraft Falcon and successfully employed during the international aircraft campaign ITOP (International Transport of Ozone and Precursors). During another aircraft campaign, CONTRACE (Convective Transport of Trace Gases), the QMS aboard the Falcon detected …

Efficient enzyme coupling algorithms identify functional pathways in genome-scale metabolic models
… We next developed a mathematical framework (FALCON) that incorporates enzyme activity as continuous variables in genome-scale models. Using data from gene expression and fitness assays, we verified that enzyme sets calculated directly from FALCON models are more functionally coherent than …

The archaeological, linguistic and ethnohistorical evidence for the expansion of Arawakan into northwestern Venezuela and northeastern Colombia
… It is based on research conducted in Coastal Falcon State. Venezuela between 1981 and 1983. Three independent data sets are analyzed: archaeology, lingustics and ethnohistory. Once the patterns of distribution are modeled for each domain independently, an evaluation is made of the degrees of …

Behavioural ecology of Peregrine and Lanner falcons in South Africa
The Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus is a specialized predator of birds. It occurs almost worldwide but is generally uncommon. In many areas, it is sympatric with one of a complex of similar, less specialized, congeneric species (subgenus Hierofalco, the desert falcons). Peregrine density and …

Structural Design of a Business Jet Winglet
<p>Structural sizing of a winglet for the Falcon 10 was performed and is presented here. The aerodynamic profile of the winglet was taken from a previous study, which predicted an increase in range of 3.3% with an estimated weight increase of 52 kg. An investigation of the current structure layouts …
