Behaviour of the cattle egret Ardeola ibis
Ardeola ibis (.L.) is a small white heron, generally considered to be one of the most terrestrial members of its semi-aquatic family. It is a highly successful species, both in terms of numbers and of geographic range. Apart from man and his commensals, it is probably the commonest of the six …

Simulation of IBIS models using HSpice and ADS
… input/output buffer information specifica- tion (IBIS) which was developed at Intel to overcome these obstacles. IBIS uses a behavioral modeling method that is based on I-V and V-t curves ob- tained from either direct measurements or circuit simulations. This provided designers with a model that …

Foraging efficiencies and species' distributions : an explanation of the Hadeda ibis (Bostrychia hagedash) in relation to soil moisture
The influence of soil moisture on the foraging time needed to meet BMR (foraging efficiency) in hadedas was explored in Cape Town, South Africa. This was done by monitoring hadedas foraging and recording the prey items eaten successfully per minute on soils of different moisture. BMR was calculated …

UK support for small firms: an examination of business advisors' heuristics
Ibis thesis concerns business advice to small and medium sized businesses (SNIEs). SNIEs account for the overwhelming number of businesses in OECD economies. Consequently, governments have come to see the SNIE sector as increasingly important to 'national competitiveness' and job creation, and …
