Journal Article
Young, R., Coelho, C., & Wieloch, D. (2003). A note on the climbing abilities of giant anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla (Xenarthra, Myrmecophagidae). #Journal not on list, 15, 41-46

In this note we provide seven observations of climbing behaviour by giant anteaters. Five observations were recorded in the field: three of giant anteaters climbing on top of 1.5 to 2.0 metre high termite mounds, and two observations of giant anteate...

Impact of oilseed rape expressing the insecticidal cysteine protease inhibitor oryzacystatin on the beneficial predator Harmonia axyridis (multicoloured Asian ladybeetle) (2003)
Journal Article
Ferry, N., Raemaekers, R., Majerus, M., Jouanin, L., Port, G., Gatehouse, J., & Gatehouse, A. (2003). Impact of oilseed rape expressing the insecticidal cysteine protease inhibitor oryzacystatin on the beneficial predator Harmonia axyridis (multicoloured Asian ladybeetle). Molecular Ecology, 12(2), 493-504. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-294X.2003.01736.x

Insect-resistant transgenic plants have been suggested to have deleterious effects on beneficial predators through transmission of the transgene product by the pest to the predator. To test this hypothesis, effects of oilseed rape expressing the cyst...

The efficacy of the model--rival method when compared with operant conditioning for training domestic dogs to perform a retrieval--selection task (2003)
Journal Article

Traditionally, dogs have been trained by operant conditioning techniques; that is, dogs make a desired behavioural response and this response is reinforced by a reward such as food. This type of training is very effective in training dogs to perform...

Ab-initio density-functional lattice-dynamics studies of ice (2003)
Journal Article
Côté, A., Morrison, I., Cui, X., Jenkins, S., & Ross, D. (2003). Ab-initio density-functional lattice-dynamics studies of ice. Canadian Journal of Physics, 81(1-2), 115-122. https://doi.org/10.1139/p03-003

We present the results of first-principles computational studies of the dynamical properties of hexagonal ice using both the ab-initio pseudopotential method and the full-potential augmented plane-wave method. Properties obtained using both the gener... Read More about Ab-initio density-functional lattice-dynamics studies of ice.

Anisotropy and interface structure in sputtered Co/Pt multilayers on Si (2003)
Journal Article

The inter-relation between magnetic and structural properties of a series of Co/Pt sputtered multilayer films of constant period but differing number of repeats has been investigated. Independent measurements of the perpendicular anisotropy using vib... Read More about Anisotropy and interface structure in sputtered Co/Pt multilayers on Si.

Speech Transmission Index (STI) is an important objective parameter concerning speech intelligibility for sound transmission channels. It is normally measured with specific test signals to ensure high accuracy and good repeatability. Measurement with...

Compensation for discarded singular values in vibro-acoustic inverse methods (2003)
Journal Article
Moorhouse, A. (2003). Compensation for discarded singular values in vibro-acoustic inverse methods. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 267(2), 245-252. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-460X%2802%2901432-3

The paper addresses the inverse problem where source strengths are back-calculated from a sound pressure field sampled at several points. Regularization techniques, such as singular value discarding or Tikhonov regularization, are commonly used to im...
