Forest disturbances such as wildfire and drought-related disease often lead to declines in productivity that both influence and are influenced by forest water use, particularly in the semi-arid environments of the Western US.Fuel treatments are frequently proposed to reduce vulnerability to these drought-related impacts and in some cases as an appr
Wideband Circularly Polarized MIMO Antenna for High Data Wearable Biotelemetric Devices
This paper presents a miniaturized circularly polarized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for wearable biotelemetric devices.The proposed MIMO antenna consists of four elements, which are placed orthogonally to the adjacent elements.The proposed antenna has a wideband response [10-dB bandwidth of 2210 MHz (fractional bandwidth (FBW) = 9
Using phenomenography to inform curriculum development in the areas of Digital Curation and Digital Sustainability
A British university is proposing to introduce two new postgraduate certificate qualifications in Digital Curation and Digital Sustainability.The proposed courses are intended to formalise this knowledge into a curriculum that enables professional practitioners working in related areas to develop their knowledge of how to manage digital assets in a
Label-free optical biosensors in the pandemic era
The research in the field of optical biosensors is continuously expanding, thanks both to the introduction of brand new technologies and the ingenious use of established methods.A new awareness on the potential societal impact of this research has arisen as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.The availability of a new generation of analytical to
