Space project
The document discusses the importance of the International Space Station as a test bed for scientific research and experimentation involving Earth science, astronomy, microgravity, and biological sciences to support manned planetary exploration. It notes how the space station will allow investigation of how space conditions affect human health before sending astronauts on interplanetary missions. Additionally, it provides brief definitions of cosmic rays as high-speed particles that travel through the Milky Way Galaxy and space hazards such as tiny flecks of paint that can damage spacecraft at orbital velocities.
Adam's Earthquake Data project
The document discusses earthquake data and distributions. It notes that earthquakes are clustered around boundary lines, particularly convergent boundaries like the oceans. Nearly half of large earthquakes above magnitude 7 occur within 100 miles of convergent boundaries, and over three-quarters occur within 200 miles. The document also lists places that may be at risk of future large earthquakes like Saudi Arabia, Idaho, Chile, and California due to their locations near boundaries or past seismic activity.

This document summarizes an urban growth trends study in the Upper Delaware Basin from 1984 to 2030 using the SLEUTH land use change model. Input data included transportation networks, slope, and satellite-derived urban land cover from 1984, 1995, and 2005. Development likelihood layers identified protected, less likely, and more likely areas for development based on different buffer distances for streams and wetlands. Three growth rate scenarios - linear, 50% increase, and 25% increase - were developed and translated into smart growth, best resource protection, and limited planning maps to project future urban growth under different land use policies.
Role of light traps presentation
Light traps are commonly used tools in integrated pest management to monitor pest populations and determine seasonal patterns. They attract a wide variety of night-flying insects through the use of ultraviolet or fluorescent lights. While light traps provide useful information, pheromone traps have replaced them as they target specific pest species. Light traps are also used to manage some pest populations through mass trapping. Different light colors and wavelengths attract varying numbers of insect orders. Black lights and blue lights tend to attract the highest percentages of insects.

What are Insect Pheromone Traps
This document discusses using pheromone traps to monitor insect populations. It describes different types of traps, including passive traps that do not use lures and active traps that use lures like pheromones. Pheromone traps are attractive traps for flying insects that use synthetic versions of species-specific pheromones. Some advantages of pheromone traps are that they are affordable, can detect low populations, are easy to install and manage, and are nontoxic. Common types of pheromone traps discussed are wing traps, delta traps, and mass trapping kits. Factors to consider when choosing a trap include the monitoring goal, targeted insect species, size of the insect, and ability to

5th Period Temperate Rain Forest
Temperate rainforests only cover a small portion of the Earth's surface but receive at least 100 inches of rain per year, keeping the forest floor and tree branches constantly wet. Conifer trees form a canopy that keeps the forest cool and shaded, while the floor is covered with ferns. Animals that live in this biome like bears, cougars, raccoons and elk have adapted fur to stay warm in the cool, wet conditions and some hibernate, while beavers and elk impact the landscape by feeding on plants and trees.
Forest Animals
This document describes the abilities of various forest animals. It notes that bears can climb trees and swim, wolves can jump, run and swim, and foxes and hares can run and jump well. Squirrels can climb trees and jump well, while hedgehogs can run well but not jump. Elk can walk, run and swim but not fly or climb trees, and beavers can swim and build canals and homes. Deer can run and swim well, snakes can crawl and swim but not run or jump, and owls can fly very well.

Wild life census and its role in conservation
By conservation census, all individuals of a population within an area are counted directly. When this is not possible, sampling methods are used to estimate the total population size. Common census methods include quadrat sampling, mark-recapture, distance sampling, camera trapping, and other direct counting techniques. Census data provides information on population status, distributions, behaviors, and is used to inform conservation strategies.

Fullbright Proposal
This grant proposal seeks funding to study leopard populations in Malaysia. Leopards are a key species that help regulate other animal populations and thus indicate ecosystem health. The proposal involves selecting three study sites - a forest reserve, oil palm plantation, and semi-urban area - to survey for leopard tracks over several months. This will provide data on population density, age/sex distribution, and how leopards are faring near human areas. The researcher will collaborate with a local university and government to conduct the low-cost study, which will add to understanding of leopard conservation across Southeast Asia.

This document describes two methods for classifying frog calls using machine learning techniques: locality sensitive hashing (LSH) and Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM). For GMM classification, features are extracted from spectrograms of frog calls including filter responses and MFCC coefficients. Gaussian models are trained for each frog species using these features. Classification involves determining the most likely species model for a test call. Tests on 15 frog species showed promising 80% accuracy for GMM, approximating human performance. LSH classification was less accurate, suggesting noise and call variations limit its effectiveness.
2015_IP_Crocodiles_Final
This study tested the use of photographic mark-recapture techniques to estimate the population of Nile crocodiles at Sunset Dam in Kruger National Park. Researchers photographed and identified individual crocodiles based on unique patterns on their tails over four days. Applying mark-recapture models, they found the population size was accurately estimated and that mornings yielded more visible crocodiles than afternoons. The non-invasive photographic method provides a better technique for monitoring crocodile populations than methods requiring handling or tagging.

Influence of Enclosure Conditions and Visitors on the Behavior of Captive Mal...
The population of Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus) in the wild is experiencing a radical decline mainly due to habitat destruction throughout their regions. Therefore, as an initiative measure to sustain the population, ex-situ conservation was established. However, the ability of captive management to maintain and breed endangered species has been proved challenging. In this study, we investigated how the behavior of Malayan tapirs in captivity is affected by enclosure conditions; type (semi-natural versus zoo enclosures/artificial) and weather (temperature and humidity), and visitors. Behaviors (categorized as resting, locomotion, ingestion, swimming, investigative) were observed using instantaneous sampling over 20 minute periods with intervals of 30 seconds and analyzed using generalized linear mixed-effects model, glmer. Enclosure type had a significant effect on feeding behavior where tapirs in semi-natural enclosures fed more frequently than tapirs in artificial environments, mirroring natural feeding activity. Significant adverse effects from background noises and visitors caused tapirs in artificial enclosure to be more alarmed and increased their investigative behaviors. High number of visitors overall lowered the activity of tapirs, while low humidity caused tapirs to suffer from dryness, and thus resulted in frequent ingestion (drinking) and locomotion behavior which indicative of thermal stress. Overall from this study, it is concluded that unsuitable enclosure conditions of extreme dryness and number of visitors are prone to be potential stressors that lower the activity pattern which possibly alter the natural behaviors of Malayan tapir in captivity. Therefore, further evaluation on exhibit design and management practices are encouraged to identify variables that could increase the well-being of captive Malayan tapirs.

The document summarizes a study that assessed the terrestrial vertebrate diversity in Mount Parker, T'boli, South Cotabato, Philippines. The study identified terrestrial vertebrate species through visual surveys, live trapping, and mist netting across three different sites ranging from the base to the mid-mountain forested areas of Mount Parker. Species were identified using dichotomous keys and diversity was calculated using Simpson's index. The results can inform local conservation management and protection of biodiversity in the area.
Beetles in Selected Barangays of Catarman, Northern Samar, Philippines
This initial research effort was conducted to identify the beetle species in five selected barangays of Catarman, Northern Samar, and describe the environmental factors that affect the presence of beetles in the study area. It used the descriptive method of research, with the purposive sampling technique as the sampling procedure utilized.Due to limitations of the researcher, a total of only seventeen 17 beetle species, belonging to eleven 11 families, were found present in different sampling sites. The most abundant of the beetle species individual was Harmonia axyridis, constituting 76.14 of the total number of beetles in the study area, while the least abundant were Alaus sp., and Diphucephala sp., each with only one 1 individual present, accounting for a relative abundance of only 0.46 . The air and soil temperature range between 27oC to 29oC. Grasses, trees, shrubs, and herbs were the common vegetation present in the study sites where beetles were found. This implies that environmental factors were conducive for the beetles to thrive in the area. The presence of different beetle species indicates the study area has a diverse beetle fauna, albeit it is only a small fraction of the total beetle species listed in the country. It is imperative that conservation efforts should be strengthened by the LGU in order to conserve not only the beetle population in the study area, but other organisms, both flora and fauna, as well.

This document summarizes a study on the behaviors of two captive Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatra) housed at Chester Zoo in England. The study analyzed the effects of visitor numbers and noise levels on the tigers' behaviors. Behaviors like resting, exploring, and stereotypic pacing were recorded and compared to environmental factors. The tigers preferred elevated wooden platforms near dense vegetation, spending over 70% of their time in these areas. Visitor numbers affected behaviors more than noise levels. The male tiger engaged in more stereotypic pacing than exploratory behaviors.

1) Juvenile black ratsnakes utilized all available macrohabitats but preferred forest, while adults seemed to have preferred habitats and locations.
2) Larger snakes moved further distances and traveled over longer total distances, while juveniles moved more often between locations.
3) Body size influenced movement patterns and habitat use in black ratsnakes, with an ontogenetic niche shift occurring as snakes matured from juveniles to adults.

Use of surrogate species for biodiversity monitoring & inventory preparation
This document discusses the use of surrogate species for biodiversity monitoring and inventory preparation. It defines surrogate species as species used to represent other species or aspects of the environment. The document outlines different types of surrogate species including biodiversity indicators, umbrella species, focal species, landscape species, flagship species, and keystone species. It provides criteria for selecting surrogate species and discusses their use in defining conservation areas, documenting environmental impacts, and as management indicators. The document also describes a case study comparing the effectiveness of an inventory-based conservation plan versus a focal species plan for an area in North Carolina. The inventory plan was more effective but also more costly than the focal species plan.

Fast food affect our life
Fast food was first popularized in the 1950s in the United States and refers to food that is prepared and served quickly. While fast food can save time and in some cases money compared to home cooking, it provides little nutrition and can contribute to serious health issues like obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. A study found that 59% of Malaysians consume fast food once a week. In conclusion, the document warns that fast food should be avoided due to its long term negative health impacts outweighing any short term benefits of convenience or cost.

Monitoring Animals/ Fauna in Malaysia
- 1. Monitoring animals/fauna In forest/jungle
- 2. den counts and direct observation surveys on the footprints calls dung live trapping All these surveys are usually performed along transects and in the past they were the preferred method by government departments and scientists in Malaysia
- 3. abilities of the observers to observe terrestrial mammals in tropical rainforests can be extremely challenging recognize the species may lead to a bias during data collection different detect increases the likelihood of animals fleeing unobserved
- 4. TRANSECT SURVEYS / logging tracks Why It Been Used? Cheap Fast way of obtaining information Why It Not Been Used Anymore? Logging tracks may not yield substantial evidence of species diversity Thus, if any survey were to be conducted without considering these factors a bias trend could be expected in most wildlife surveys in Malaysia. To describe density of mammals for various purposes Describe diversity Environmental impact assessment
- 5. Wildlife Monitoring Using Camera Traps
- 6. Invented in the late 1890s CAMERA TRAPS First used in the field in 1913 For surveying and estimating tiger densities Examining activity patterns of large mammals General wildlife surveys Foraging ecology Cryptic animal survey
