Factors Affecting Bait Site Visitation: Area of Influence of Baits by Jacquelyn E. McRae, Peter E. Schlichting, Nathan P. Snow, Amy J. Davis, Kurt C. VerCauteren, John C. Kilgo, David A. Keiter, James C. Beasley, Kim M. Pepin

“…The average area of influence for our bait sites was 6.7 km2 (or a radius of approximately 1.5 km), suggesting a bait spacing of approximately 1.5 km would be adequate to capture visitation by most wild pigs and a spacing of 3 km could allow substantial visitation while minimizing redundant effort depending on the spatial structure of the populations. Eighty percent of wild pigs first visited bait sites within 8.9 days after bait deployment; and they visited earlier when their home range size was larger. …”

Study on the stiffness and damping properties of magnetorheological elastomers subjected to biaxial loads and a magnetic field by J. Luis Gomez-Color, Luis M. Palacios-Pineda, Imperio A. Perales-Martínez, Oscar Martínez-Romero, Daniel Olvera-Trejo, Claudia A. Ramírez-Herrera, Karina Del Ángel Sánchez, Alex Elías-Zúñiga

“…We discovered that micro-particle alignment in the elastomer matrix, its fractal structure, and the magnetic field modify stiffness and damping properties since the magnetic field restricts the polymer chains' reptation zone, thereby stiffening the polymer matrix and influencing its energy dissipation capacity.Furthermore, we proposed a constitutive material model to predict stress-softening and residual strains when the MRE samples are under biaxial loading-unloading cycles and magnetic field intensity with theoretical predictions that follow experimental data well. …”
