![]() ![]() Scents (pheromones and hormones) are used to express dominance, breeding readiness and as a priming source to help synchronize breeding readiness between the sexes. states have reintroduced small elk herds into heavily wooded wilderness areas.īull Scent Rubs, Scrapes, Wallows and Self Impregnation Today they live primarily in western North America, especially in mountainous landscapes such as Wyoming’s National Elk Refuge and Yellowstone National Park. The herds return to lower valley pastures where elk spend the season pawing through snow to browse on grass or settling for shrubs that stand clear of the snow cover.Įlk were once found across much of North America but they were killed off and driven to take refuge in more remote locations. In the winter, wapiti reconvene into larger herds, though males and females typically remain separate. Males with the bigger antlers, typically older animals, usually win these battles and dominate small herds. These powerful animals strip the velvet off their new antlers using them in violent clashes that determine who gets to mate with whom. Each cow typically has a single calf, which can stand by the time it is 20 minutes old.ĭuring the late summer breeding season the bugling of bull elk echoes through the mountains. In early summer, elk migrate to high mountain grazing grounds where the cows (females) will give birth. A bull (male) elk’s antlers may reach 4 feet (1.2 meters) above its head, so that the animal towers 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall.īull elk lose their antlers each March, but they begin to grow them back in May in preparation for the late-summer breeding season. Size: Height at the shoulder, 4 to 5 ft (1.2 to 1.5 m)Įlk are also called wapiti, a Native American word that means “light-colored deer.” Elk are related to deer but are much larger than most of their relatives. Creative forest management practices are needed to provide breaks in the canopy while maintaining old growth stands that will allow for vegetation that is essential to elk and many other species.Average lifespan in the wild: 8 to 12 years Elk habitat is also being reduced by forest management practices that are keeping sunlight from reaching the forest floor and providing the vegetation they eat – such as clearcutting and replanting dense tree plantations. In fact the first name suggested for what is now Olympic National Park was Elk National Park, as it was intended to be a reserve for dwindling elk herds.Ĭurrently habitat loss and fragmentation due to logging and road construction threaten these unique elk. It is estimated that nearly 10 million elk lived in North America prior to 1500 and were reduced to less than 100,000 by 1907. Their natural predators include the gray wolf (which is making a comeback in northeastern Oregon but have been extirpated in western Oregon) and mountain lions, which usually thin herds by taking old and weak elk. Why does it need our help?Įlk play an important part in the life cycle of the forest by clearing understory vegetation which makes way for other plant and animal species. Bull Roosevelt Elk are known to live up to sixteen years in the wild, with some cows living up to twenty-one years old. These elk are seasonally migratory, spending the summer months in the mountains and on snow fields and moving to lower elevations in the winter to avoid winter storms and find food. This provides cover from the weather and predators. Typically they enjoy open lands where they can walk freely and graze on grasses, however they often prefer a mix of old growth stands and edge environments. In 1928 they were introduced to the Afognak and Raspberry islands off the coast of Alaska and are thriving there. The largest unmanaged herd of Roosevelt Elk is in Olympic National Park in Washington State and consists of nearly 5,000 elk. The Roosevelt Elk lives primarily on the western slopes of the Coastal and Cascade Ranges from northern California up to southern British Columbia. Female elk typically give birth to one calf at a time, and calves are able to stand and feed within an hour of being born. The Roosevelt Elk is also much darker than other elk species, often with a dark brown or even black neck and a tan body. These elk also have the largest antlers of all elk species, reaching lengths of up to four feet with a distinctive three-point tip, or crown and the end. Males grow their antlers between April and August every year. Males (bulls) average 875 pounds, but bulls weighing nearly 1300 pounds have been found in Alaska. ![]() The Roosevelt Elk, named for Theodore Roosevelt, is the largest of the four remaining North American elk subspecies. ![]()

The acute phase is characterized by diffuse edema and locally severe edema. Thus, amino acid synthesis is affected, resulting in brain edema and abnormal myelination. Some scholars believe that the accumulation of BCAA in the brain will inhibit the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase which destroy the citric acid cycle. The mechanism of brain damage in MSUD patients is still unclear. This myelin dysplasia is a secondary change of long-term exposure to BCAA. The abnormal MRI findings were mainly increased signal intensity in T2-weighted images of the midbrain, brainstem, thalamus and globus pallidus. ![]() Most adolescents and young adults with MSUD have different severity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) white matter changes. The last four types are also called delayed type. MSUD can be divided into five types according to the central brain injury and metabolic acidosis: classic type, intermediate type, intermittent type, thiamin (vitamin B1, VB1) active type and dihydrothioctinamide acyl dehydrogenase (E3) type. Metabolic acidosis is the main cause of death in the first year while survivors often suffer from mental retardation, spastic palsy, cortical blindness and other neurological disorders. Three MSUD genotypes have been identified to date based on the genes involved: subtype 1α mutation affecting the Eα (BCKDHA) gene, subtype 1β mutation Eβ (BCKDHB) and subtype II mutation E2 (DBT) gene. Dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2(DBT) encodes the transacylase (E2) subunit. The BCKD complex is thought to be composed of a core of 24 transacylase (E2) subunits, and associated decarboxylase (E1), dehydrogenase (E3), and regulatory subunits. MSUD is a rare genetic disorder which manifested as impaired branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism caused by branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex deficiency. Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) was first reported by pediatrician Menkes in 1954, as the α-ketoacid excreted in urine smells like maple syrup. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the initial set of candidate solutions to the problem, before the set of candidates has been narrowed down. For a maximization problem, an optimal solution to an LP is a point in the feasible region with the largest objective function value. Most of these optimization problems do not admit an optimal solution that can be computed in a reasonable time, that is in polynomial time (See Chapter 3). In mathematical optimization, a feasible region, feasible set, search space, or solution space is the set of all possible points (sets of values of the choice variables) of an optimization problem that satisfy the problem's constraints, potentially including inequalities, equalities, and integer constraints. For example, suppose Healthy Pet Food wanted to supply at least 160,000 packages of dog food each month that is M+Y. ![]() Of course in this case, a solution means the tuple (x,m,n,a,b,c,d). To obtain another optimal solution, the aforesaid variable is made to enter the basis. ![]() A closed feasible region of a linear programming problem with three variables is a convex polyhedron. There are three possibilities for a linear programming problem: bounded feasible, unbounded feasible, and infeasible.In real life, we often face situations in which it is impossible to satisfy all the restrictions confronting us. \begingroup I am told that when the stopping criterion is fulfilled but the deviation corresponding to any non-basic variable is 0, there are multiple solutions. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the first time ever, RetroArch has been able to implement auto frame-skip into its RetroArch cores, as a direct result of development for the RG350 devices. You can also set up hotkeys for things like save states, loading save states, bringing up the RA menu, fast forward, etc. You can set your buttons for any RA core, and also save per-game settings for the best experience. With RetroArch, you can simply add the appropriate cheat files and access all of the cheats from the RA menu. If you check out my Ultimate Cheats Guide, you’ll see that a lot of the standalone emulators don’t support cheats - you really only have them for NES, Game Boy/Color, Genesis, and PS1, and even those are mostly through a cumbersome Game Genie process. For example, with RetroArch, you can unlock the following features: The answer is that RetroArch contains a lot of universal features that are not implemented in many of the other emulators. So you might be asking yourself, why should I bother with RetroArch for my RG350 or RG280 device, if I already have emulators installed that will play my games? That’s a fair question. You boot it up, and then run your games like you would any other emulator. On the RG350/280 devices, RetroArch works as a universal emulator system. It can run on the usual platforms like Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but it also runs on iOS and Android for tablets and phones, as well as on game consoles like PS2, PS3, PSP, PS Vita, Wii, Wii U, 2DS, 3DS, Switch, and more. RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players.

Note that this version of RetroArch works on both STOCK and BETA OpenDingux firmwares, and performance is greatly enhanced on the BETA firmware. In addition to the Anbernic devices (RG350, RG350M, RG350P, RG280M, and RG280V), this RetroArch build should work on other OpenDingux devices, like the GCW Zero and the Bittboy PocketGo v2. These two emulators by far are my favorites on the RG350/RG280, so I was excited to see what the RetroArch team came up with, and I have to say that this version of RetroArch runs super clean and efficiently. You may recognize that name, because this is the same developer who has recently given the OpenDingux community new versions of ReGBA (Game Boy Advance) and PCSX4All (PlayStation 1) emulators for the RG350 devices. This app is a long time coming an experimental port of RetroArch was released in January 2020, and then picked up again by RetroArch developer jdgleaver a few months ago.

![]() ![]() The answer: if you run 40 tabs on Firefox, it’ll devour 3GBs of your memory, which will hurt the efficiency of just about any computer.Īmong popular browsers, Firefox has the perk of being the most suitable for privacy, given its tough tracker and cookie policy. Few users leave 40 tabs open at once, but we tested to see just how much RAM that would take. At 20 tabs, the number went up to 1.6GB: certainly, a lot even if it is 300MBs lighter. When tested with 10 tabs open, Firefox occupied about 960MB of memory, which is only slightly less than Chrome. And no, despite the browser’s reputation for efficiency, it can take up almost just as much RAM as Chrome. For example, when you need to install Google Chrome on ten computers at work, you can silent install it through your company network without the need to interrupt what your coworkers are doing.Īlso read: “ Chrome Remote Desktop Security Risks ” 5- Mozilla FirefoxĬoming in at number 5 is Mozilla’s popular and privacy-minded browser, Firefox. Basically, you can silent install Google Chrome if you don’t have the time to go through the installation process. Another cool thing about Google Chrome is that you can silent install it. ![]() Also, it looks cool, with a great visual design almost making up for what goes on behind the scene. Despite all its disadvantages, Chrome comes with more features and it has a lot more extensions than other browsers. It’s even likely to interrupt whatever you might be doing at the moment by causing your OS to crash. Chrome is also big on CPU usage so that makes it even more likely to impede your workflow. Its memory use rises to unbelievable amounts as the number of tabs increases, with Chrome using about 1.9 GB of your computer’s memory for 20 tabs. Google Chrome, the world’s most widely used browser, is famous for crazy RAM guzzling and if you have a habit of leaving too many tabs open it can seriously damage your PC’s efficiency.Īccording to our tests, having 10 tabs open will cost your RAM just a bit shy of 1000 MB. ![]() However, as mentioned, the performance is as smooth as it can get. This limited aspect of Safari earned it the bottom spot on this list. This may not be a major issue in the North American and European regions where Apple’s expensive hardware are commonplace in almost every user’s hands, but as soon as you step out of these regions, you are probably going to see a huge chunk of other OS options at work that can’t even run Safari, to begin with. So while the performance of Safari as an Apple-developed browser is incredibly well synced with their devices as part of the famous Apple ecosystem, you are only going to get this world-class performance if you are part of this ecosystem. Safari is Apple’s own developed browser that is only available on Apple devices such as the iPhone, different MAC OS systems, iPad, etc. However, the reason why it ranks so low on today’s list is not the fact that it performs poorly but rather how it performs. And there are indeed things to be said about why Safari could actually perform better than any other option on this list. Now, seeing Safari here on this list may be a shocker to many people. They are ordered from the most browser memory usage to the least so, buckle up! 7- Safari In this section, we are going to talk about which browser uses less RAM. That is why we have put together a list of the usual suspects so you know the most RAM-efficient browsers in 2023.

The clip art and ability to use straight or curved lines, and format text as I like helps for communication also. And sometimes I just data-dump a brainstorm of ideas for whatever I'm working on. Other times for organizational charts or taxonomies. Sometimes I also use it for building models for presentations. I start with these 4 trees on the mind-map but the results can cover hundreds of branches as each branch stimulates new ideas. 4MAT is a good process and worth learning more about. ? What if it everyone knew/did/felt this? 'What if?' is designed to stimulate the thinking processes based on the Why, What, How of the article/book/presentation. The WHY is all about "Why should people read/know/care about this?", then WHAT is it that I want them to know/do/feel, and HOW do they do this, then finally the IF? is all about What if? What if I (the reader) do this and it works or doesn't work? What if the next step is. I typically use the 4MAT model (as originally developed by Bernice McCarthy in 1980) which creates a 4 way mind-map, starting with WHY in the top right quadrant then WHAT in the lower right, HOW in the lower left and continuing clockwise to create a branch about IF? in the top left quadrant. Mostly I like that it's a fast way for me to scope and think about an article or book. And can form the basis of a great Prezi layout if you use the clip art.
