Small mammal diversity and community structure exhibit congruent hump-shaped patterns along a subtropical elevational gradient by Chao Duan, Zhixin Wen, Bingquan Zheng, Yang Chen, Wenling Wang, Jianghong Ran

“…Human footprint, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, precipitation seasonality and potential evapotranspiration are key drivers of small mammal diversity and community structure along elevational gradients. In summary, our study provides evidence that phylogenetic diversity is a robust surrogate for functional diversity, and challenges the recent large-scale studies that advocate a linear relationship between small mammal assembly process and elevation. …”

Sound Scattering by an Elastic Spherical Shell and its Cancellation using a Multi-pole Approach by Eldad Jitzchak AVITAL, Neeshtha Devi BHOLAH, Giuseppe Cortez GIOVANELLI, Touvia MILOH

“…It is aimed to cancel the sound scattering using combinations of multi-pole sources located at the centre of a shell filled with compressible fluid. Assuming linear acoustics and structural dynamics, exact solutions are derived for total elimination of the sound scattering for three cases: a free-space, near a hard ground or near a free-surface, where in the last two cases it is assumed that the incoming wave propagates normal to the interface to maximize sound reflection back unto the source of the incoming wave. …”
