Influence of weather on gobbling activity of male wild turkeys

Abstract Gobbling activity of Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter, turkeys) has been widely studied, focusing on drivers of daily variation. Weather variables are widely believed to influence gobbling activity, b...

Effect of Accelerated Weathering on Color and Physico-mechanical Properties of Wood-plastic Composites with Nano Titanium Dioxide

Polypropylene (PP) with black locust wood flour and maleic grafted polypropylene were used to prepare wood plastic composites (WPC) by injection molding. The effect of the addition of nano titanium oxide (nano TiO2) on the properties of the...

Cadmium sulfide-induced toxicity in the cortex and cerebellum: In vitro and in vivo studies

Living organisms have an innate ability to regulate the synthesis of inorganic materials, such as bones and teeth in humans. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) can be utilized as a quantum dot that functions as a unique light-emitting semiconductor nano...

Power-aware scheduling of data-flow hardware circuits with symbolic control

We devise a tool-supported framework for achieving power-efficiency of data-flowhardware circuits. Our approach relies on formal control techniques, where the goal is to compute a strategy that can be used to drive a given model so that it ...

Graded weakly 1-absorbing prime ideals

In this paper, we introduce and study graded weakly 1-absorbing prime ideals in graded commutative rings. Let $G$ be a group and $R$ be a $G$-graded commutative ring with a nonzero identity $1\neq0$. A proper graded ideal $P$ of $R$ is call...

The application of cosine similarity measures with Laplacian energy to q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs in decision-making problems

Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS), which are better than the intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, are a significant tool for expressing ambiguous information. Their key feature is that their ability to represent a larger space of u...
