Birds behave as if they quickly and accurately perceive an object-filled visual world. Besides pigeons, however, there is a large gap in our knowledge about the mechanisms of object recognition in avian visual systems. The pattern of shading reflected from object surfaces is one…

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was used to study natural ventilation in arid region greenhouses. Airflow, temperature and moisture distributions for naturally and fan-ventilated greenhouses, and greenhouses cooled by evaporative systems were simulated numerically and…

Aquaculture is an essential developing sector for world food production, however the attainment of sexual maturity during commercial on-growing is a major bottleneck to industry expansion. Sexual maturation brings a commercial loss due to reduced growth performance as well as re…
