An investigation into the aetiology of flexible flat feet: the role of subtalar joint morphology by Kothari, A, Bhuva, S, Stebbins, J, Zavatsky, A, Theologis, T

“…As such we undertook an observational study investigating the aetiology of this condition, to help inform management. The hypothesis was that as well as increased body mass index (BMI) and increased flexibility of the lower limb, an absent anterior subtalar articulation would be associated with a flatter foot posture.…”

CADD: A Tool for Context Modeling and Data Tailoring by Bolchini, C, Curino, C, Orsi, G, Quintarelli, E, Schreiber, F, Tanca, L

“…Data tailoring is needed because of two main reasons: the first is to keep the amount of information manageable, in order for the user not to be confused by too much, possibly noisy, information; the second is the frequent case when the mobile device is a small one, like a palm computer or a cellular phone, and thus only the most significant information must be kept on board. …”

Assessing Spatial Variation in Algal Productivity in a Tropical River Floodplain Using Satellite Remote Sensing by Bianca Molinari, Ben Stewart-Koster, Tim J. Malthus, Stuart E. Bunn

“…Thus, methods that can predict the spatial variation of algal productivity provide an important input to better inform management and conservation of floodplains. In this study, a prediction of the spatial variability in algal productivity was made for the Mitchell River floodplain in northern Australia. …”

Integrating terrestrial scavenging ecology into contemporary wildlife conservation and management by Jessica R. Patterson, Travis L. DeVault, James C. Beasley

“…Due to the application of scavenging research broadly within ecology, scavenging studies should be implemented for informing management decisions. In particular, a more direct link should be established between scavenging dynamics and applied management programs related to informing pharmaceutical delivery and population control through bait uptake for scavenging species, prevention of unintentional poisoning of nontarget scavenging species, the epidemiological role that scavenging species play in disease dynamics, estimating wildlife mortalities, nutrient transfer facilitated by scavenging activity, and conservation of imperiled facultative scavenging species. …”
