Time‐frequency enhanced CNN models for nonlinear strain prediction in RC structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes convolutional neural network (CNN)‐based models for predicting the nonlinear strain responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to seismic loads. Using convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the study establishes the relationships between the global structural responses—such as acceleration and displacement ...

Mallard response to experimental human disturbance on sanctuary areas is mediated by hunting

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (e.g. hunting) and non‐lethal (e.g. non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as societal interest in outdoor recreation continues to climb, many areas face added pressure to allow recreation, yet studies increasingly demonstrate negative effects of ...

A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into wild populations.

Behavioural responses of brown bears to helicopter capture

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the effects of capture and handling on wild animals is crucial in evaluating ethical practices in ecological research, and in avoiding biased conclusions from misinterpreting biologging data potentially affected by capture. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of helicopter capture on the behaviour of Scandinavian brown bears ...
