A GPU-Implemented Lattice Boltzmann Model for Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Flows in and around Forest Shelterbelts

Using porous wind barriers for the microclimate modification of agricultural lands, urban areas, and surrounding roads is a ubiquitous practice.This study establishes a new method for numerically modeling the turbulent flow in and around forest shelterbelts using an advanced multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model (MRTLBM).A detailed descr

Activity Patterns of Captive Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)

We studied the activity budgets of seven Ailurus fulgens, at three zoos within Australasia, using video cameras, and in-person observations.Red panda in this study Ski de fond - Enfant - Skis - Skate followed a crepuscular activity pattern, with another short peak of activity around midnight.Ambient temperature greatly affected panda activity patte
