From big spots to little spots: Influence of camera trap deployment on spatial capture-recapture estimates of servals (Leptailurus serval) in Ithala Game Reserve
Servals (Leptailurus serval) face a range of threats which can impact their populations, but we have little information on their conservation status across much of their range. Repeated population density estimates are the most useful parameter for assessing population trends and the impacts of …

Estimating abundance, density, and occupancy of lion, leopard and serval in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal
… to environmental factors of one medium-size (serval – Leptailurus serval) and two large carnivores (lion – Panthera leo and leopard – P. pardus) in the Niokolo Koba National Park, Senegal, West Africa, using remote camera surveys and both traditional (CR), spatially explicit capture-recapture …

Determinants of predator abundance in northern KwaZulu-Natal: top-down or bottom-up?
… adustus), honey badger (Mellivora capensis) and serval (Leptailurus serval) were classed together as Mesopredators. Facultative scavengers included two hyaena species (spotted Crocuta crocuta and brownhyaena Hyaena brunnea). Leopards (Panthera pardus) were included as an example of an apex …

Damage Detection Based on the Geometric Interpretation of the Eigenvalue Problem
… Experimental verification was performed on serval prismatic beams in which the method provided adequate results. The exact location and extent of damage for several cases was predicted. When the method failed the prediction was very close to the actual condition in the structure. This method …

Collision and Avoidance Modelling of Autonomous Vehicles using Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network
… using Matlab for collision avoidance and serval scenarios were proposed and experimented with. The sensors are used as the inputs to determine collision in the learning preparation of the algorithm; (2) a neural network was used for collision avoidance of autonomous vehicles; (3) a new …

Effetti dell'attività della fauna sulla stabilità degli argini: Valutazione Ecoidraulica dei meccanismi di rottura arginale e tecniche di ripristino
… in order to increase arable land, have built serval types of river structures to control the flow. Levees (also known as dikes), for instance, are simply man-made embankments built to keep a river from overflowing its banks. However, river flooding is a natural phenomenon so that it is not …

The centrality of legitimacy and the limitations of the small footprint approach to military operations
War must be understood as it is, not as we wish it to be. This dictum of Carl von Clausewitz is as relevant today as it was in his time. Now, in the wake of 15 years of persistent low intensity conflict, policymakers argue over the application of military force in the contemporary threat …
