In this work,we report long-term trends in the abundance and breeding performance of Adélie penguins(Pygoscelis adeliae)nesting in three Antarctic colonies(i.e.,at Martin Point,South Orkneys Islands;Stranger Point/Ca...
When it was proposed to use one wire instead of two or three, there were many objections. The most serious objection was this. 1) The entire globe is covered with three phase (three wires) lines. They work and transmi...
