When and why to give shorebirds a head start

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Prioritizing bat roosts for conservation with a global multicriteria bat roost priority index based on community science

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization in conservation is crucial for the development of efficient and effective decision‐making policies. For many decades, the importance of some species and their habitats has been assessed and applied in conservation legislation, but bats and their diurnal roosts have ofbeen overlooked.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

The Emotional Valence Paradox in Social media: A Computational Linguistic Analysis of How Sentiment, Emotion, and Content Domain Predict Social Comparisons on Rednote

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This computational linguistic study analyzes 8743 Rednote posts to examine how sentiment, emotion, and content domain collectively shape social comparison dynamics on social media. We identify four key findings: (1) an emotional gradient, where upward comparison content exhibits the highest sentiment scores and downward comparison the lowest; (

Transition metal compounds and alloys: A first-principles investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
含过渡金属的化合物与合金在数据存储、光催化和能量存储与转换等领域有重要的应用,主要得益于其特定的电子结构、力学性能等性质。本论文利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,选取特定的研究体系,系统地探索了过渡金属化合物与合金的电子结构(第三章)、内部原子扩散(第四章)、力学性能(第五章)以及压力与温度对其性质的影响(第六章)。 为了研究缺陷和掺杂对过渡金属氧化物电子结构的调制,我们以SrZrO3为研究对象,首先研究了内部含有有序氧空位和部分无序氧空位体系的电子结构。计算结果表明 ...

Accountability in Government Use of AI: Citizen Concerns and Preferences

open access: yesPublic Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Government adoption of AI opens the “pandora's box” of accountability, a core aspect of public value. Despite the centrality of governmental AI accountability, citizens' concerns and preferences in holding governments accountable for AI usage remain poorly understood.

Tabular method of calculating Boolean difference and partial derivative of logical functions(计算逻辑函数布尔差分及布尔偏导数的表格方法)

open access: yesZhejiang Daxue xuebao. Lixue ban, 2006
分析了用图形方法计算逻辑函数的布尔差分与布尔偏导数存在的问题,在分析布尔差分与布尔偏导数的定义的基础上提出了计算布尔差分与布尔偏导数的表格方法,讨论了在1值最小项数较多时用计算布尔差分与布尔偏导数的表格方法.本文提出的表格方法与图形方法相比,具有不需画图,操作方便,易于计算机编程操作以及可用于多变量逻辑函数等优点.
