This study tried optimization of design parameter of an ultra-thin flat plate dynamic speaker unit as an example of high flexibility of the products design.We derived the regression formula of the sound quality effect of each design parameter by the design of experiments and the multiple linear regression analysis, and the evaluation criteria was d
Risk-Induced Trait Responses and Non-consumptive Effects in Plants and Animals in Response to Their Invertebrate Herbivore and Parasite Natural Enemies
Predators kill and consume prey, but also scare living prey.Fitness of prey can be reduced by direct killing and consumption, but also by non-consumptive effects (NCEs) if prey show costly risk-induced trait responses (RITRs) to predators, which are meant to reduce predation risk.Recently, similarities between predators and parasites as natural ene
Temple Dedication and Construction Texts of the Ancient Near East with Elapsed Years: Implications for Long Duration Chronologies
Ancient texts dedicating or commemorating temples that can be associated with archaeological remains such as architecture and inscriptions, along with identifiable kings who built or commemorated those temples and the specification of the elapsed number of years from a past event, are known from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant over the span of s
