MACRO- AND MICROHABITAT PREDICTORS OF NEST SUCCESS AND HATCHLING SURVIVAL IN EASTERN BOX TURTLES (TERRAPENE CAROLINA CAROLINA) AND SPOTTED TURTLES (CLEMMYS GUTTATA) IN OAK SAVANNA LANDSCAPES

Macro- and Microhabitat Predictors of Nest Success and Hatchling Survival in Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) and Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata) in Oak Savanna Landscapes

Differing selection pressures on stationary nest contents compared to mobile offspring mean that the nest-site characteristics resulting in the highest nest success may not be the same characteristics that Tack Sets result in the highest survival of juveniles from those nests.In such cases, maternal nest-site choice may optimize productivity overal

The characterization of radioactive waste: a critical review of techniques implemented or under development at CEA, France

This review paper describes the destructive and non-destructive measurements implemented or SHOWER GEL under development at CEA, in view to perform the most complete radioactive waste characterization.First, high-energy photon imaging (radiography, tomography) brings essential information on the waste packages, such as density, position and shape o
