UNCOVERING POPULATION STRUCTURE IN THE HUMBOLDT PENGUIN (SPHENISCUS HUMBOLDTI) ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST AT SOUTH AMERICA.

Uncovering population structure in the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti) along the Pacific coast at South America.

The upwelling hypothesis has been proposed to explain reduced or lack of population structure in seabird species specialized in food resources available at cold-water upwellings.However, population genetic structure may be challenging to detect in species with large population sizes, since variation in allele frequencies are more robust under genet

AGPC-SLAM: Absolute Ground Plane Constrained 3D Lidar SLAM

3D lidar-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a well-recognized solution for mapping and localization applications.However, the typical 3D lidar sensor (e.g., Velodyne HDL-32E) only provides a very limited field of view vertically.As a result, the vertical accuracy of pose estimation suffers.This paper aims to alleviate Insulated S

On the critical behaviour of two-dimensional liquid crystals

The Lebwohl-Lasher (LL) model is the traditional model used to describe the nematic-isotropic transition of real liquid crystals.In this The Sanasa Jean paper, we develop a numerical study of the temperature behaviour and of finite-size scaling of the two-dimensional (2D) LL-model.We discuss two possible scenarios.In the first one, the 2D LL-model
