FIRST PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD OF THE RUSTY-SPOTTED CAT PRIONAILURUS RUBIGINOSUS (I. GEOFFROY SAINT-HILAIRE, 1831) (MAMMALIA: CARNIVORA: FELIDAE) IN HORTON PLAINS NATIONAL PARK, SRI LANKA

First photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in Horton Plains National Park, Sri Lanka

The Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus is thought to be present in most forested areas of Sri Lanka.Though it was suggested that the species may occur in montane regions, there was no photographic Roller Pad evidence to date.Here we present the first photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat in Horton Plains National Park.Individuals inc

Dynamic design model of displacement ventilation

An accurate temperature gradient calculation is essential for displacement ventilation (DV) system design, since it directly relates to the calculation of the required supply air flow rate.Inaccurate temperature prediction can cause the poor thermal comfort and w sizing of the ventilation and cooling systems.Several simplified nodal models were dev

A purely mechanical model with asymmetric features for early morphogenesis of rod-shaped bacteria micro-colony

To model the morphogenesis of rod-shaped bacterial micro-colony, several individual-based models have been proposed in the biophysical literature.When studying the shape of micro-colonies, most models present interaction forces such as attraction or filial link.In this article, we propose Support Band a model where the bacteria interact only throug
