Assessing Mitigation Translocation as a Tool to Reduce Human-great Horned owl Conflicts.

The great horned owl (Bubo virginianus) is a generalist predator that inhabits wide-ranging territories that are relatively stable throughout the year. These owls are also involved in a variety of human-owl conflicts, including killing of domestic poultry, predating colonially nesting seabirds and shorebirds, and pose a hazard to safe aircraft operations. Managing these conflict situations presents unique challenges as great horned owls are nocturnally active and occupy a wide range of habitats.

Validation of open-path dual-comb spectroscopy against an O background: erratum.

This erratum corrects errors that appear in Opt. Express31, 5042 (2023).10.

Effect of temperature on structural configuration and immunoreactivity of pH-stressed soybean (Glycine max) agglutinin.

Soybean agglutinin (SBA) was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation and liquid chromatography. Purified SBA was used to produce monoclonal antibodies through hybridoma technology. SBA secondary structure was studied using circular dichroism.

Removing biases in dual frequency comb spectroscopy due to digitizer nonlinearity.

Operation of any dual-comb spectrometer requires digitization of the interference signal before further processing. Nonlinearities in the analog-to-digital conversion can alter the apparent gas concentration by multiple percent, limiting both precision and accuracy of this technique. This work describes both the measurement of digitizer nonlinearity and the development of a model that quantitatively describes observed concentration bias over a range of conditions.
