Comparative analysis of pore structure parameters of coal adsorbed by different gas probe molecules by Lin HONG, Wentong LIU, Dameng GAO, Wei LIANG, Jundan ZHAO, Xingzhu CHE

“…Under the condition of liquid nitrogen (77 K), the low pressure argon adsorption experiment (LPGA-Ar), low pressure nitrogen adsorption experiment (LPGA-N2) and low pressure oxygen adsorption experiment (LPGA-O2) are carried out on the coal with three kinds of metamorphic degrees, and the changes of coal adsorption are analyzed. Using experimental data and non-local density functional theory (NLDFT), the pore structure parameters of coal are characterized. …”

Foraging strategy and tree structure as drivers of arboreality and suspensory behaviour in savannah-dwelling chimpanzees by Rhianna C. Drummond-Clarke, Susan Chege Reuben, Fiona A. Stewart, Fiona A. Stewart, Fiona A. Stewart, Alex K. Piel, Alex K. Piel, Alex K. Piel, Tracy L. Kivell

“…However, the link between foraging positional behaviour and tree structure remains understudied.MethodsWe collected data on arboreal foraging behaviour and corresponding tree structural characteristics over five months in the dry season, and used generalized linear mixed models to test for any effect of food type and tree structural characteristics on (1) duration of foraging bouts, (2) frequency of locomotion, and (3) use of suspensory behaviour.ResultsWe found that food types and tree structures found in woodland vegetation are associated with more time spent in foraging trees, a higher rate of locomotion, and the use of suspension in particular.DiscussionOur results suggest that arboreal, and especially suspensory, locomotion can be advantageous for foraging in a savannah-mosaic and not just closed forest habitats. …”
