| 5 | Educational Research on a Water Elevator显示文摘This project involves modeling a water elevator in order to study its behavior and relate its mechanical advantages to various fluid mechanics properties. The reason that this small scale water elevator was constructed was to get a better understanding of such real world applications. As developing engineers, students have to grasp how to implement the theory they learn in the classroom. The properties of the water elevator were described with the energy equation, conservation of mass, volumetric flow rate, and hydrostatic pressure. After conducting various tests, theoretical and experimental values were compared and an analysis of the data was assembled allowing for the development of a more thorough understanding of fluid mechanics. | Antonio Agoncillo Ahmad Alahmad Shayea Aldughaiem Saud Almutairi Ali Alnaser Mohammad Alrasheed Ahed Dashtti Kimberly Duran Michael Vartanians David Boyajian Tadeh Zirakian | 2018 | Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture2018，12，12： | 0 |
| 6 | Exploring behavioral traits over different contexts in four species of Australian funnel-web spiders显示文摘Australian funnel-web spiders are arguably the most venomous spiders in the world,with much research focusing on this aspect of their biology.However,other aspects related to their life history,ecology and behaviour have been overlooked.For the first time,we assessed repeatability.namely risk-taking behaviour,aggressiveness and activity in the contexts of predation,conspecific tolerance and exploration of a new territory in four species of Australian funnel-web spiders:two are closely related,Hadronyche valida and H.infensa,and two have overlapping distributions but occupy different habitats,H.cerberea and Atrax robustus.We also compared behaviors between species.At the species level,we found that H.valida showed consistency in risk-taking behavior when exposed to a predator stimulus,aggressiveness against conspecifics,and exploration of a new territory.In contrast,in the other species,only A.robustus showed repeatability in the context of exploration of a new territory.These results suggest that some behavioral traits are likely more flexible than others,and that the repeatability of behaviors may be species-specific in funnel-webs.When we compared species,we found differences in risk-taking behavior and defensiveness.This study provides novel insights to understanding variation in behavioral traits within and between species of funnel-web spiders,suggesting that some behavioral traits are likely context and/or species dependent,as a result of their evolutionary history.These findings provide key insights for understanding the ecological role of behavior and venom deployment in venomous animals,and a greater understanding of behavior in these medically significant and iconic spiders thatareof conservation concern. | Linda Hernandez Duran David Thomas Wilson Tasmin Lee Rymer | 2023 | Current Zoology2023，69，6： | 0 |
