Communicating amidst the noise: modeling the aggregate influence of ambient and vessel noise on baleen whale communication space in a national marine sanctuary

Anthropogenic noise negatively impacts many species.One of the more insidious effects of elevated noise levels is the reduction in area over which animals are able to acoustically communicate, often termed communication masking.This study utilizes modeling approaches to evaluate relative levels of masking for 4 baleen whale species from the combina

Multiset concepts in two-universe approximation spaces

Abstract Rough set theory over two universes is a generalization of rough set model to find accurate approximations for uncertain concepts in information systems in which uncertainty arises from existence of interrelations between the three basic sets: objects, attributes, and decisions.In ESSIAC POWDER this work, multisets are approximated in a cr

Prevalence of invasive fungal disease in hematological patients at a tertiary university hospital in Singapore

Abstract Background The use of newer azoles as prophylaxis in hematological patients undergoing stem cell transplantation or immunosuppressive chemotherapy has been shown to decrease the risk of developing invasive Honda GPS Antenna Adapter fungal disease (IFD).However, the cost-effectiveness of such a strategy is dependent on the local epidemiolog
