A UNIFYING MODEL TO ESTIMATE THERMAL TOLERANCE LIMITS IN ECTOTHERMS ACROSS STATIC, DYNAMIC AND FLUCTUATING EXPOSURES TO THERMAL STRESS

A unifying model to estimate thermal tolerance limits in ectotherms across static, dynamic and fluctuating exposures to thermal stress

Abstract Temperature tolerance is critical for defining the fundamental niche of ectotherms and researchers classically use either static (exposure to a constant temperature) or dynamic (ramping temperature) assays to assess tolerance.The use of different methods complicates comparison between studies and here we present a mathematical model (and R

Local Polar Pattern for Source Color Laser Printer Identification

In this paper, a new methodology for the source color laser printer identification using the copyright protection system (CPS) pattern is proposed.First, to achieve scale and rotation invariant, a novel Local Polar Pattern (LPP) for CPS pattern representation is designed.Based on the LPP descriptor, a Extend Shipping Contract noise robust CPS patte
