Simulation and analysis of spatial audio reproduction and listening area effects
… can be distributed across the listening area. Any translational change from the central listening position will introduce artefacts which can be challenging to evaluate perceptually. Simulation of a loudspeaker system using non-individualised dynamic binaural synthesis is one solution to …

The Role of Streambed Biofilms in The Removal of Biodegradable Contaminants From Shallow Streams
… to assess both the short-term and long-term effects stream velocity had on COD removal rates. The rate at which streambed biofilms removed COD from gravel and cobble streambeds was more sensitive to short-term changes in water velocity than would be predicted based on changes in mass transfer …

Investigation of the cytogenetics of marine and terrestrial gastropods
… Berkshire Downs (U.K.)in which there are marked area effects for both the visible and allozymic characters. The present investigation has shown that there are inter-populational differences in chromosome structure. The differences fall within the range found previously in several widespread …

How can we tackle persistent poverty in deprived neighborhoods? : lessons from the US and the UK
… in deprived neighborhoods results in negative area effects on local residents, including low aspirations and benefit dependency cultures. In order to transform the prospects of deprived neighborhoods, the governments in the two countries launched the most ambitious community revitalization …

Toward Efficient Bio-Inspired Propulsion: The Effect of Propulsor Shape and Kinematics on System Performance and Efficiency during Bio-inspired Locomotion
… that decompose the different kinematic and shape effects of these biological systems, we can understand what leads to their high cruising performance and efficiency. Two major studies were conducted. The first was on the effect of different kinematic parameters of large soaring birds on flight …

Using a new monitoring framework for Regional Councils to assess the integrity of prioritised ecosystems in Hawke’s Bay farmland : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Applied Science at Lincoln University
… pests, inadequate fencing, and species-area effects. Biodiversity monitoring of private land plays an essential role in protecting, and enhancing, the biodiversity that remains. This is important because these private forest fragments can contain rare and critically threatened species, …

Design, fabrication and mechanical optimization of multi-scale anisotropic feet for terrestrial locomotion
… to standard friction laws. As predicted, the effects of contact area were shown to have an effect on the friction forces experienced by the softer materials. The contact area effects were then modeled as Hertzian contacts for a given material. Verification of the area dependencies for the …

Huono-osaisuus Suomen kaupunkiseutukunnissa : alue-erot ja sosiaalisen ympäristön vaikutukset 1990-luvulla
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin huono-osaisuuden ilmenemistä ja alue-eroja sekä huono-osaisuuteen yhteydessä olevia yksilö- ja aluetason tekijöitä Suomessa 1990-luvulla. Tutkimus kohdistui 30-54-vuotiaisiin Suomen kaupunkiseutukunnissa vuonna 1993 asuneisiin naisiin ja miehiin. Tutkimuksessa …

Fixed -interval timeout from avoidance with humans
… received little experimental attention in this area: effects of an immediately consumable reinforcer, timeout from avoidance. In Experiment 1, adult human subjects responded on a concurrent schedule with avoidance of point-loss in one component, and timeout from avoidance in the other. Timeout …

Population Dynamics of Willow Flycatchers in the Sierra Nevada
… encourages breeding dispersal from an area and also may reduce emigration if flycatchers use social cues to determine territory settlement in subsequent years. Furthermore, high natal philopatry contributed to annual site occupancy and considerably reduced fecundity would disrupt this …
