Early snow melt in Colorado initiates two chains of events resulting in population decline in Speyeria mormonia. One effect was readily detectable, but the second required an understanding of the butterfly's biology. "This suggests predicting effects of climate change on organisms' population sizes may be difficult due to lack of knowledge of the species' biology," noted Dr. Carol Boggs, professor, department of biology, Stanford University and lead author. The results are published… Read more

Modeling sound propagation in range-dependent waveguides is of particular interest to the underwater acoustics research community. In the Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy issue of Science China, this paper proposed a coupled normal mode solution to the problem of acoustic propagation in range dependent waveguides. It provides significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and stability compared to the existing methods. Read more

If sensors are supposed to communicate with each other to compare the measured data and to secure them, then, in the future, a network of distributed sensor nodes will aid in that: the network ensures problem-free communication between the sensors. For example, they can be used to reliably monitor the watering of plants. At the "embedded world" trade fair, taking place from Feb. 28 to March 1 in Nuremberg, the researchers are showcasing a technological demonstration. Read more
