Most existing human mobility literature focuses on exterior characteristics of movements but neglects activities, the driving force that underlies human movements.In this research, we combine activity-based analysis with a movement-based approach to model the intra-urban human mobility observed from about 15 million check-in records during a yearlo

Objective: to determine the possibility and probability of Balkanization of the Ukrainian-Russian inter-societal relations.Methods: the need to study the main factors affecting the state of the modern Russian-Ukrainian conflict in its ethno-political dimension, with the predominat focus on intersocietal relations, determined the use of the historic

The artificial lighting based on multiple-primary light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or multiple-primary laser diodes (LDs) makes the diversity of colors by freely and simply adjusting the emission spectra of rays from these semiconductor Jewelry devices.It brings the possibility that the artificial lighting matches well with the photosynthetic spectral

The sea lamprey (Petromzons marinus) is a devastating invasive species that represents a significant impediment to restoration of the Laurentian Great Lakes.There is substantial interest in developing environmentally benign control strategies for sea lamprey, and many other aquatic invasive species, that employ the manipulation of semiochemical inf

Elucidating how life history traits vary geographically is important to understanding variation in population dynamics.Because many aspects of ectotherm life history are climate-dependent, geographic variation in climate is expected to have a large impact on population dynamics through effects on annual survival, body size, growth rate, age at firs
