Le navi bianche. L’evacuazione dei civili italiani dall’Africa Orientale by Decio Zorini

“…Since it was not possible, for military reasons, to use the Suez route, the journey involved the circumnavigation of Africa, that is geographically 20,000 miles (37,000 km) round trip, but in wartime the route was lengthened to 23,000 miles (40,000 km). …”

Satellite tracking reveals long distance coastal travel and homing by translocated estuarine crocodiles, Crocodylus porosus. by Mark A Read, Gordon C Grigg, Steve R Irwin, Danielle Shanahan, Craig E Franklin

“…All crocodiles spent time around their release site before returning rapidly and apparently purposefully to their capture locations. The animal that circumnavigated Cape York Peninsula to return to its capture site, travelled more than 400 km in 20 days, which is the longest homeward travel yet reported for a crocodilian. …”

Making a multilingual dictionary of Italian loanwords: the Dizionario degli italianismi in francese, ingelese, tedesco (DIFIT) by Heinz, M

“…At the same time, limitations of the general lexicographical documentation on Italian and the three recipient languages had to be taken into account and, wherever possible, circumnavigated. Complementing the review of methodological issues in the first part, the second part of the paper will present the results of an introductory survey on the quantitative impact of Italian loanwords as documented in the DIFIT and give a brief outlook on the ongoing project of digitizing the lexicographical data by means of an online database (E-DIFIT).…”

Three-Dimensional Mapping of Forest Soil Carbon Stocks Using SCORPAN Modelling and Relative Depth Gradients in the North-Eastern Lowlands of Germany by Alexander Russ, Winfried Riek, Gerd Wessolek

The Bird of Time: Cognition and the Avian Biological Clock by Vincent Michael Cassone, David F Westneat

“…At the molecular level, avian biological clocks comprise a genetic network of positive elements clock and bmal1 whose interactions with the negative elements period2, period3 and the cryptochromes form an oscillatory feedback loop that circumnavigates the 24 hrs of the day. We assess the possibilities for dual integration of the clock with time-dependent cognitive processes. …”

Relationship Between Atmospheric Teleconnections and the Northern Hemisphere's Circumpolar Vortex by Nazla Bushra, Robert V. Rohli

“…Abstract The Northern Hemispheric circumpolar vortex (NHCPV) is the hemispheric‐scale, middle‐ and upper‐tropospheric wind belt circumnavigating the North Pole. It is delineated by the well‐known polar front jet stream, and it bends poleward at ridges and equatorward at troughs at various amplitudes and positions over time. …”

Reactive navigation in extremely dense and highly intricate environments. by Javier Antich Tobaruela, Alberto Ortiz Rodríguez

“…Some of these approaches have clearly improved the way how a reactively-controlled robot can move among densely cluttered obstacles; some other approaches have essentially focused on increasing the variety of obstacle shapes and sizes that could be successfully circumnavigated; etc. In this paper, as a starting point, we choose the best existing reactive approach to move in densely cluttered environments, and we also choose the existing reactive approach with the greatest ability to circumvent large intricate-shaped obstacles. …”
