Unlike NEON's other components, which
gather information about the environment, STREON was designed to intentionally alter stream ecosystems — by adding nutrients, simulating extreme weather conditions, and removing top predators — and then document how they responded.
As conventional localization algorithms such as those used in GPS - like systems can not be directly ported to an underwater scenario, in this innovative system the localization is performed thanks to the incorporation of
additional information about the environment surrounding the receiving hydrophone.
«We discovered this phenomenon by chance, but it shows that it's certainly possible to
transmit information about the environment down the generations,» study lead author Ben Lehner, a biologist at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, said in a statement.
In addition to the radiometric dating techniques that revealed the ages of these ancient zircons, geologists used other analytical techniques to
extract information about the environment in which the crystals formed, including the temperature and whether water was present.
Furthermore, experimental studies have demonstrated that bottlenose dolphins [10] and grey parrots [11] can use learned artificial signals in a referential way to
give information about their environment.
Shaw and her colleagues briefly captured and banded 20 adult birds, which they trained to carry out six different tests to measure various skills thought to be linked to specific types of animal cognition (defined as the ability to acquire, process, and act
on information about the environment).
Staying alive as this once - frozen world turns to slush means keeping your wits about you and
gleaning information about the environment from every available source, including the radio, the retreating ice, or your whaler uncle, Joe.
Unlike the visual cortex, say, whose coding will be influenced by light falling onto the retina, the entorhinal cortex creates the hexagonal pattern entirely internally, by integrating
whatever information about the environment is received by other areas of the brain.
However, our findings reveal that consuming sugar - sweetened drinks is also interfering with our brain's ability to function normally and remember
critical information about our environment, at least when consumed in excess before adulthood.»
The 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded jointly to Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian Kobilka for studies of G - protein - coupled receptors, which are the portals by which
information about the environment reaches the interior of cells and leads to their responses.
The extent of these threats to environment journalists makes a mockery of the 20 - year old commitment by almost all nations on Earth to ensure that the public has access to
adequate information about the environment and can participate in decision - making about how it is managed.
The federal government suppresses or
manipulates information about the environment, prescription drugs and public safety, making it increasingly hard for members of the public to learn about matters that could affect their lives.
SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine)- We're nine days away from the media event that is Earth Day 2006, so brace yourself for a barrage of depressingly
familiar information about the environment's poor health.
The sensor can potentially replace the expensive «eyes and ears» on Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), submarines and boats that currently rely on cameras and sonars to gather
information about the environment around them.
Future research will also deal with «informative path planning» — planning paths that initially
gather information about the environment and disturbances that the algorithm can use later to plan more energy - efficient routes.
These small devices, usually powered by Bluetooth low - energy technology, can be mounted virtually anywhere and
transmit information about the environment to nearby receptors (usually to mobile devices via app software).
Reptiles use chemical signs (akin to «smell») to gather
information about their environment, so they probably likewise rely on chemical signs to tell individuals apart.
It allows us to take in
information about the environment, organize, form social alliances, and raise the probability of survival in difficult times.
Also in Cancun was the special session, «Remote Sensing with Ambient Noise» on using noise and interferometric methods to obtain
information about the environment.
To predict that, it weaves together your prior experience, expectations and
information about the environment (Have you taken this type of class before?
At the end of the year, the project concludes with the students creating a book filled with their photos, findings, and
information about the environment and wildlife around the school.
