Objective: To study the application of Geographic Information System (GIS) electronic fence technique in snail monitoring.
Methods: The electronic fence was set around the history and existing snail environments in the electronic map, the information about snail monitoring and controlling was linked to the electronic fence, and the snail monitoring information system was established on these bases. The monitoring information was input through the computer and smart phone.
Results: The electronic fence around the history and existing snail environments was set in the electronic map (Baidu map), and the snail monitoring information system and smart phone APP were established. The monitoring information was input and upload real-time, and the snail monitoring information was demonstrated in real time on Baidu map.
Conclusions: By using the electronic fence technology based on GIS, the unique "environment electronic archives" for each snail monitoring environment can be established in the electronic map, and real-time, dynamic monitoring and visual management can be realized.

Purpose: This study explored the experiences of long-term care workers in using assistive technologies in dementia-specific care facilities in Taiwan, with a focus on perceived benefits, challenges encountered, and required support strategies.
Methods: A qualitative research design was employed. Ten female care workers from five dementia-specific long-term care institutions, each with at least 1 year of experience using assistive technologies, participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews.

High-altitude and high-latitude ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to climate change and human disturbance, with widespread degradation threatening their role in water regulation, biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration. Livestock-exclusion enclosure is widely applied for alpine restoration, yet its ecological outcomes remain poorly understood across elevation gradients and ecosystem types. To address this, a 15-year grazing-exclusion experiment was conducted in a vertical transect spanning 2980-4164 m a.

Background: The Elekta Unity MR-Linac system integrates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a linear accelerator (Linac) for adaptive radiation therapy. Traditional quality assurance (QA) methods for multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) face challenges in this system due to the magnetic field and limited field size of electronic portal imaging devices (EPID).
Purpose: This study aims to develop a 'virtual picket fence' test using machine log files to evaluate MLC performance in the Elekta Unity MR-Linac system, providing a more efficient and comprehensive QA method that overcomes the limitations of traditional approaches.

Large ungulate grazers can manage habitats via conservation grazing, a practice using livestock to control vegetation growth, which has many ecological benefits but has the potential to provide additional hosts for ticks and consequently have an impact on tick-borne disease risk. Cattle and sheep are suspected to be transmission hosts for several tick-transmitted pathogens, so the presence of livestock could increase disease hazard. However, some ungulate species do not transmit other pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.

Eutrophication countermeasures have been implemented in various reservoirs across Japan to mitigate phytoplankton blooms. However, the responses of phytoplankton to these countermeasures are not yet fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of in-reservoir eutrophication measures on phytoplankton productivity using relevant datasets covering 55 reservoirs in Japan from 1993 to 2017.
