Habitat use and surface activity scorpion Centruroides margaritatus in Palo Verde, Guanacaste National Park, Costa Rica
Authors: Ramírez-Arce Daniel 
Published: May 2019

Centruroides margaritatus is one of the most common scorpions in Costa Rica, however almost null ecological or population-based studies have been conducted. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to characterize the habitat use and surface activity of this species in Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica. Scorpions were searched intensively along transects at three sites: road, camp and forest. The microhabitat in each capture was characterized and the surface activity of the scorpions was recorded at the time of capture. C. margaritatus was found in different microhabitats: soil, leaf litter, herbaceous plants, shrubs, trees, and under rocks and fallen logs, with a preference to use vegetation to heights less than 50 cm. The scorpions were in an ambush behavior most of the times and were observed mostly in the vegetation, while they were in a resting behavior mainly under fallen trunks and rocks. The use of vegetation can represent a strategy to obtain food and also be in a safe place against predators. Nevertheless, the species adaptability provides the ease of using many microhabitats in sites where vegetation is scarce. While the study period was short, this research provides the first observations about the habitat use of this species in Costa Rica, which serves as a basis for future investigation.

Santa Rosa National Park, Guanacaste Province, protects one of the largest remnants of dry forest in Mesoamerica. It is considered an example of how to regenerate forest in an area that for many years was used for cattle. A proper management requires knowledge of trends in mammal populations. We chose species that demand high ecologic integrity. the jaguar (Panthera onca ) and other felines, and their potential prey. Using trace count we assessed abundance on seven trails systematically sampled in 2001 and later in 2011. In 2011 we found more traces of jaguars, less of cougars and the same number for ocelots. In the second sampling we found less herbivores and frugivores, and more omnivores. We believe that the trace method is reliable, rapid and cheap.
Technical Review: Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems and Tire Vibrations
Authors: Muhammad Adnan 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACT
Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems (ITPMSs) have been an active area of research for the past 2 decades. Researchers worldwide have strived to develop estimation techniques for the detection of the change in tire pressure by using the vibration information present in the speed signal. Different groups have used a torsional vibration model for the tire, owing to its torsional stiffness and rotational moment of inertia. The standard antilock braking system (ABS) speed sensor signal is analyzed for these vibrations. Different estimation algorithms try to detect the change in this vibration frequency, which indicates the change in the torsional stiffness of the tire as a result of variation in the pressure.
Tire vibrations have been studied in great detail for the past 5 decades, and there are various models of tire vibrations available in the literature. These models range from physics-based analytical models to finite element models (FEMs). Analytical models take benefit from the mathematics developed for rotating elastic thin shells and plates, whereas FEMs use simulation tools to develop vibration models of the tire.
A detailed literature survey of ITPMSs and tire vibration models reveals that there is no correlation between the vibrations detected in the speed signal and the vibrations predicted in the tire vibration models. Researchers have developed tire vibration models that do not take into consideration the effects of vibrations on the speed signal; although, to the best of our knowledge, signal processing and estimation experts who have developed methods for ITPMSs have not validated the true source of observed vibrations in the speed signal and could not present a viable theoretical explanation.
In this review, a comprehensive study of the ITPMS techniques and tire vibration models is presented, with an aim to find a correlation between them. The review begins with a brief introduction to the topic followed by state of the art, then a detailed review of ITPMSs and the methods for their realizations in the automotive industry. Finally, tire vibration models are presented in detail, and possible links between vibration models and ITPMS vibrations are sorted.

Published: May 2019

Computer networks need protocols to govern all transmission and presentation processes. The transmission control protocol (TCP) is one of the most important protocols that have the compatibility to work with all types of computer networks, overcoming all architectural and operating system differences. Nowadays, networks depend on the TCP protocol to control data flow between all types of connected computers, whether it is client or server, over any type of media whether it is wired or wireless networks, for all network topologies. A simulation of a university campus network has been conducted to determine TCP protocol features; those features are taken into consideration as one of the most important network parameters. In all digital networks, the data transmission is not a continuous transmission – instead, it is a discreet transmission, presenting itself as packets. These packets transfer and propagate within the network between computers, and network nodes using the TCP protocol depending on the address, which is embedded in its header. TCP has a great influence on the network speed. The network simulator OPNET provides an easy way of campus design, predicting, and estimating the performance of networks in a university campus environment. In this research, wiredconnections reach all computer network users at fixed points to maintain higher Mbps and ensure reliable communications between all the campus network nodes, as well as to increase the overall network performance taking into account the future expansions for the university campus network design.

Published: May 2019

This paper aims to investigate the flexural behaviour of the rubberized and hybrid rubberized reinforced concrete beams. A total of fourteen beams, 150×200 mm in cross-section with 1000 mm in length, were subject to a laboratory test over an effective span of 900 mm. The sand river aggregate was replaced by 10%, 12.5%, and 15% of crumb rubber (volume). The hybrid structure contained two double layers: 1) rubberized reinforcement concrete at the top layer of the beam and 2) reinforcement concrete at the bottom layer of the concrete beam. The static responses by the flexural test of all the beams were evaluated in terms of their fresh properties, failure patterns, total energy, flexural strength, stiffness, and ultimate deflection, modulus of rupture, strain capacity, and ductility index. The results showed that there were improvements when the hybrid beams were used in most cases such as failure pattern, ultimate load, stiffness, modulus of rupture, and stress. The rubberized concrete beams showed improvements in the strain capacity as illustrated in strain gauges and stress-strain curves, toughness, ultimate deflection, and ductility index. The findings of the study revealed an improved performance with the use of the hybrid beams. This has resulted in the implementation of innovative civil engineering applications in the engineering sustainable structures.

Published: May 2019

In 2011, archaeological excavations were conducted at a middle Neolithic site on the outmost headland at Haugesund Airport on the island of Karmøy in Rogaland, Southwestern Norway. The excavations revealed three dwelling structures, a midden and a string of stones constructed to prevent the sea from flooding the living areas. The dwelling structures, defined as huts, consisted of several cultural layers with a depth up to 40 cm. Several fireplaces inside and outside the living areas were also uncovered. A total of 133 484 artefacts were recovered, including 515 shards of pottery, of which 122 shards were ornamented with corded stamps, pit imprints, bone imprints, zigzag ornamentation and knot winds. Of tools, there are fragments of ground flint adzes, and adzes and chisels of greenstone and other types of rock. Additional finds included many different forms of slate arrows, projectile points of type A, B and C, plate knifes of slate, greenstone and sandstone, and so on. The finds from the Helganes site have many parallels to other middle Neolithic sites in southern Norway. This publication gives an introduction to all the well-known dwellings from middle Neolithic A and B and compares them in terms of find inventory, 14C-dates and structures. This study concludes that there are many similarities between the sites which indicates social interaction along the coast of southern Norway and exchange of material culture, ideology and knowledge.
Exploring production and use of soapstone in Norway: Towards an interdisciplinary approach?
Authors: Bunse Laura 
Published: May 2019

In recent years, soapstone research has developed into a multidisciplinary field encompassing a broad range of topics and methodological approaches. Interdisciplinary research now attracts more interest and has contributed significantly to theidentification of quarries and understanding of the distribution and use of soapstone. Most collaborative projects have related to certain geographic or thematic areas. As the research on soapstone deposits in Northern Norway illustrates,interdisciplinary work can make important contributions also to other and little explored types of soapstone utilisation. In order to realise the full potential of interdisciplinary research, an expansion of the areas covered and a rethinking ofapproaches to collaboration and disciplinary compatibility are required. One problem is the use of modern scientific criteria and classification schemes to identify and interpret stone sources, as such methods do not necessarily capture all the aspects of the material that were crucial to past users and production.
