POPULATION SIZE ESTIMATION OF CHIRP AND GRUNT GENERATING FISH AND MAMMALS USING CROSS-CORRELATION BASED TECHNIQUE WITH THREE ACOUSTIC SENSORS

Population size estimation of chirp and grunt generating fish and mammals using cross-correlation based technique with three acoustic sensors

Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to be a useful tool for population estimation of sound-producing fish and mammals (mostly whales).Previous work on population estimates of callers employed a simple cross-correlation technique with recordings from two acoustic sensors, and the current work extends the technique to Scrimmage Vest two con

Informing the NHS Outcomes Framework: evaluating meaningful health outcomes for children with neurodisability using multiple methods including systematic review, qualitative research, Delphi survey and consensus meeting

Background: The identification of suitable outcome measures will improve the evaluation of integrated NHS care for the large number of children affected by neurodisability, and has the potential to encourage the provision of more appropriate and effective health care.This research sought to appraise the potential of patient-reported outcome measure

The predictability of large-scale wind-driven flows

The singular values associated with optimally growing perturbations to stationary and time-dependent solutions for the general circulation in an ocean basin provide a measure of the rate at which solutions with nearby initial conditions begin to diverge, and Crinkle Knives / Cutters hence, a measure of the predictability of the flow.In this paper,
