Identifying socioeconomic and biophysical factors driving forest loss in protected areas
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 4, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a commonly used strategy to confront forest conversion and biodiversity loss. Although determining drivers of forest loss is central to conservation success, understanding of them is limited by conventional modeling assumptions.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 95-107, June 2023., 2023 This is a study of the spatiotemporal patterns of Human−Elephant conflict in a community area adjacent to Kuiburi National Park, southern Thailand. We examined temporal and spatial patterns of elephant crop raiding by assessing the locations of elephant raids in conjunction with environmental factors along with crop characteristics and crop ...

Savviness of prey to introduced predators
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023 Abstract The prey naivety hypothesis posits that prey are vulnerable to introduced predators because many generations in slow gradual coevolution are needed for appropriate avoidance responses to develop. It predicts that prey will be more responsive to native than introduced predators and less responsive to introduced predators that differ ...

Understanding the drivers of expert opinion when classifying species as extinct
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The criteria as laid out by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List are the gold standard by which the extinction risk of a species is assessed and where appropriate biological extinctions are declared. However, unlike all other categories, the category of extinct lacks a quantitative framework for assigning this

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Dianci bileiqi, 2020 基于CDEGS仿真计算发现,采用多电流极法测量大型接地网接地电阻时,可以通过增加环绕接地网均匀布置的电流极数量方式缩短电流极与接地网之间距离,便于工程实际应用。探讨了一种工程实际中易于实现的多电流极测量方法。将多个电流极沿直线布设在接地网附近,根据CDEGS计算,五电流极沿直线布设的测量系统中均匀电流场效果最明显,当电压补偿点位置为0.8倍地网中心与直线布置的中心电流极之间的距离时,仿真计算出的测量误差不大于5%。

Mosaic Image Generation Method Based on Geodesic Voronoi Diagram [PDF]
, 2014 马赛克是一种非真实感的渲染效果，源图像被不同颜色、形状的嵌片组合而成。本文提出一种基于测地距离度量下的保持源图像特征信息的自适应马赛克图像生成方法。我们方法结合了测地距离度量和重心Voronoi图方法。测地距离度量是由源图像的特征曲线定义，特征曲线是利用特征算子从源图像中自动提取得到。Voronoi图在该测地距离度量下使用快速行进算法生成，这样可以保证生成的Voronoi图的Voronoi多边形边界与特征曲线重合，从而保持输入源图像的特征信息。除了测地距离度量外我们还定义了马赛克图像的密度函数 ...

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 823-830, December 2025.ABSTRACT Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with over 350,000 deaths annually, yet the contribution of neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDoH) remains underexplored. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 4.4 million hospitalized patients with sepsis, identified using ICD‐10 codes, leveraging de‐identified ...

Research in Application of Volumetric Topological Analysis in Osteoporosis Pathology Analysis [PDF]
, 2011 骨质疏松症作为一个世界性的健康问题，已引起了越来越多的关注。骨质疏松症患者的骨骼不仅骨量减少，骨微结构也发生了改变，导致骨的脆性增高及骨折危险性增加。世界卫生组织（WHO）预测，在今后的50年内，骨质疏松性骨折的发生人数也将继续增多，其中的一半发生在亚洲。医学上用骨矿密度作为检查标准，但是近几年来逐渐认识到了骨小梁微结构对骨质疏松的影响，随着CT技术的发展，进一步推动了这一方面的研究。 骨小梁（trabecularbone，简称TB）是由相互连接的板状和杆状组成的一个复杂伪随机网络，通过骨吸收（破骨细胞）
