This article uses one year’s worth of daily travel distance data for 252 Seattle households’ vehicles to ascertain that one day’s distance (plus day of week and month of year information) accounts for 10.7% of the variability in that vehicle’s annual (total) distance traveled, while two and seven consecutive days’ distance values predict 16.7% and 33.6%, respectively. In analyzing Gini coefficients (which average 0.546 + / − 0.117 across these instrumented vehicles), one finds that full-time employed females have the most stable day-to-day driving patterns, allowing for shorter-duration surveys of such households.

This work entitled “Suasana Mendung di Cempaka Sari” in terms of ideas is held through environmental experience encountered by the artist since residing in Perak (from 2001 until now). The artist lives in Seri Manjung district and works at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Perak Branch, Seri Iskandar (in Bota sub-district). Hence the daily travel distance of the artist goes back and forth from home to work and vice versa is about 100 kilometres. Through “daily activities” back and forth, the artist indirectly has been served with various shapes and visual elements pertaining to “social products” that are having “potential” to be questioned such as politics, economics, culture, religion, or environment in supporting the formation of his ideas for designing artwork.

Abstract The objectives were to determine if previously classified, efficient (LRFI, low-residual-feed intake, n = 12 x 2 yr) vs inefficient (HRFI, high-residual-feed intake, n = 12 x 2 yr) lactating 2-yr-old Hereford x Angus cows differed in grazing behavior, body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), and calf weaning weight while grazing rugged rangeland pastures. Cows were fitted with grazing halters containing both an accelerometer and a global-positioning-system (GPS) data logger during 14 June to 4 July 2016, 2 to 25 August 2016, 23 May to 12 June 2017, and 5 to 28 August 2017. GPS data were recorded at 7-min intervals in 2016 and 4-min intervals in 2017 and accelerometer data recorded at 25 times/s. Grazing time, resting, walking, bite rate, daily travel distance, elevation, and slope were analyzed with a mixed model that included fixed effects of RFI group, day, and RFI group x day and cow within treatment as the random effect. Cow BW, BCS, and calf weaning weight were analyzed by ANOVA with treatment as the main effect. There were no differences (P > 0.10) due to RFI detected for BW, BCS, or calf weaning weights. During periods of mild heat load (MHL), HRFI cows spent more (P < 0.05) time resting during the day at lower elevations (P < 0.05) than LRFI cows. During a 6-d period in spring with only 2 h MHL, HRFI cows grazed 1.7 h/d longer than LRFI cows (P < 0.05); commencing grazing earlier in the morning and extending the grazing bout later. During the summer with > MHL, LRFI cows grazed more than HRFI cows 18% of the time (P < 0.10). The HRFI cows had greater grazing time than LRFI cows only 3% of the time (P < 0.10) during summer. There was no difference (P > 0.10) in bite rate between HRFI and LRFI cattle. The daily travel distance tended (P < 0.10) to be greater for LRFI cattle during summer 2017. Over all sample periods, HRFI had greater walking than LRFI 15% of the time and LRFI exceeded HRFI cattle for walking 3% of the time (P < 0.10). The greater walking for HRFI was assumed to be associated with more search grazing. Metabolic heat load on hot summer days for HRFI cattle is presumed to have contributed to differences observed in grazing behavior. These results suggest that lactating cows with low RFI phenotypes appear to be better adapted to grazing rugged rangelands in late-summer during periods of mild heat load.

Although leopards are the most widespread of all the big cats and are known for their adaptability, they are elusive and little is known in detail about their movement and hunting energetics. We used high-resolution GPS/IMU (inertial measurement unit) collars to record position, activity and the first high-speed movement data on four male leopards in the Okavango Delta, an area with high habitat diversity and habitat fragmentation. Leopards in this study were generally active and conducted more runs during the night, with peaks in activity and number of runs in the morning and evening twilight. Runs were generally short (less than 100 m) and relatively slow (maximum speed 5.3 m s −1 , mean of individual medians) compared to other large predators. Average daily travel distance was 11 km and maximum daily travel distance was 29 km. No direct correlation was found between average daily temperature and travel distance or between season and travel distance. Total daily energy requirements based on locomotor cost and basal metabolic rate varied little between individuals and over time. This study provides novel insights into movement patterns and athletic performance of leopards through quantitative high-resolution measurement of the locomotor, energetic, spatial and temporal movement characteristics. The results are unbiased by methodological and observational limitations characteristic of previous studies and demonstrate the utility of applying new technologies to field studies of elusive nocturnal species.
