IMPROVEMENTS ON GPS LOCATION CLUSTER ANALYSIS FOR THE PREDICTION OF LARGE CARNIVORE FEEDING ACTIVITIES: GROUND-TRUTH DETECTION PROBABILITY AND INCLUSION OF ACTIVITY SENSOR MEASURES.

Improvements on GPS Location Cluster Analysis for the Prediction of Large Carnivore Feeding Activities: Ground-Truth Detection Probability and Inclusion of Activity Sensor Measures.

Animal space use studies using GPS collar technology are increasingly incorporating behavior based analysis of spatio-temporal data in order to expand inferences of resource use.GPS location cluster analysis is one such technique applied to large carnivores to identify the timing and location of feeding events.For logistical and financial reasons,

Canopy characteristics, animal behavior and forage intake by goats grazing on Tanzania-grass pasture with different heights - doi: 10.4025/actascianimsci.v34i4.14544

This study evaluated the influence of Tanzania-grass sward height (30, 50, 70 and 90 cm) on the morphological characteristics of the canopy, grazing behavior and forage intake by adult Anglo Nubian female goats.A completely randomized experimental design was employed, with two replicates in space and two replicates Pre-Rolls in time.Six animals wer

Anterior Urethral Valves

We studied the clinical presentation and management of four patients with anterior urethral valves; a rare cause of urethral obstruction in male children.One patient presented antenatally with oligohydramnios, bilateral Seeds hydronephrosis and bladder thickening suggestive of an infravesical obstruction.Two other patients presented postnatally at
