Historical and contemporary DNA indicate fisher decline and isolation occurred prior to the European settlement of California.

Establishing if species contractions were the result of natural phenomena or human induced landscape changes is essential for managing natural populations.Fishers (Martes pennanti) in California occur in two geographically and genetically isolated populations in the northwestern mountains and southern Sierra Nevada.Their isolation is hypothesized t

Exact Optimum Design of Segmented Thermoelectric Generators

Lubes A considerable difference between experimental and theoretical results has been observed in the studies of segmented thermoelectric generators (STEGs).Because of simplicity, the approximate methods are widely used for design and optimization of the STEGs.This study is focused on employment of exact method for design and optimization of STEGs
