Evaluating the potential of biodiversity offsets to achieve net gain
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Evaluating the outcomes and tracking the trajectory of biodiversity offsets is essential to demonstrating their effectiveness as a mechanism to conciliate development and conservation. We reviewed the literature to determine the principles that should underpin biodiversity offset planning and the criteria for offset evaluation at the project ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 80-94, June 2023., 2023 The objective of this study is to characterise ecological connectivity for mammals and identify important patches and linkages for connecting urban green spaces for Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Our results demonstrate the potential for Southeast Asian megacities to support biodiversity in the urban context, and the potential for a different kind of ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Larval dispersal is an important component of marine reserve networks. Two conceptually different approaches to incorporate dispersal connectivity into spatial planning of these networks exist, and it is an open question as to when either is most appropriate.

Application of decision tools to ethical analysis in biodiversity conservation
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Achieving ethically responsible decisions is crucial for the success of biodiversity conservation projects. We adapted the ethical matrix, decision tree, and Bateson's cube to assist in the ethical analysis of complex conservation scenarios by structuring these tools so that they can implement the different value dimensions (environmental ...

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 231-242, February 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Objective Previous work has suggested that the ultrasound‐based benign simple descriptors (BDs) can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the BDs and to validate a two‐step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy, in which the modified ...

含直流断路器的双极接线柔性直流输电系统 MMC 交流侧单相接地故障研究 [PDF]
全球能源互联网, 2020 双极接线柔性直流输电系统采用中性母线接地，换流器交流侧对地电压含有直流偏置，换流器交流侧发生单相接地故障特性不同于对称单极接线系统。柔性直流输电系统配置直流断路器时，换流器交流侧接地故障后可利用直流断路器的直流电流分断能力快速隔离故障。针对含直流断路器的双极接线柔性直流输电系统，分析了模块化多电平换流器（modular multilevel converter, MMC）交流侧单相接地故障机理，阐述了MMC保护闭锁前后故障相和非故障相上、下桥臂的故障电流通路，推导了故障状态下桥臂的电压、电流解析方程 ...

Integrative Conservation, Volume 1, Issue 1, Page 25-39, December 2022., 2022 The rainforests of Southeast Asia have a high diversity of animals, many of which eat fruit and disperse the seeds of forest plants. Several large‐bodied species occur in these forests; these animals are predicted to have especially important seed dispersal roles but are also among the species most threatened by defaunation.

Ecological and economic implications of alternative metrics in biodiversity offset markets
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Policy tools are needed that allow reconciliation of human development pressures with conservation priorities. Biodiversity offsetting can be used to compensate for ecological losses caused by development activities. Landowners can choose to undertake conservation actions, including habitat restoration, to generate biodiversity offsets ...

Effects of site‐selection bias on estimates of biodiversity change
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 688-698, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Estimates of biodiversity change are essential for the management and conservation of ecosystems. Accurate estimates rely on selecting representative sites, but monitoring often focuses on sites of special interest. How such site‐selection biases influence estimates of biodiversity change is largely unknown.

LCC-MMC混合级联系统MMC换流器过电压应力抑制策略 [PDF]
全球能源互联网, 2020 受限于功率器件IGBT制造水平，MMC换流器的过电压、过电流能力较LCC常规换流器弱。特别是在受端站内接地故障工况下，短路电流能够通过MMC半桥子模块反并联二极管形成能量馈入回路，造成子模块过电压，可能导致系统和换流阀设备出现严重安全事故。研究了LCC-MMC混合级联系统站内单相接地故障机理与发展特性，推导出MMC半桥子模块电压暂态变化的数学表达式，得到影响换流阀子模块过电压的几个关键因素，并提出了换流阀桥臂电流不平衡保护与换流器分步闭锁策略，抑制换流阀子模块过电压应力。最后基于PSCAD ...
