An Experimental Study of Structural Identification of Bridges Using the Kinetic Energy Optimization Technique and the Direct Matrix Updating Method by Gwanghee Heo, Joonryong Jeon

“…This paper aims to develop an SI (structural identification) technique using the KEOT and the DMUM to decide on optimal location of sensors and to update FE model, respectively, which ultimately contributes to a composition of more effective SHM. Owing to the characteristic structural flexing behavior of cable bridges (e.g., cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges), which makes them vulnerable to any vibration, systematic and continuous structural health monitoring (SHM) is pivotal for them. …”

A Global Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Methods Used to Evaluate Predation and Diet of Domestic Cats (Felis catus) by Hannah L. Lockwood, Maren Huck

“…Only six (6.8%) studies here used video cameras and, although a useful monitoring technique, video results showed a different pattern in taxonomic proportions to data gathered using consumed or returned prey. More research using cat cameras in locations of varying faunal composition is necessary, improving the general applicability of video data to cat populations globally. …”
