Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We highlight an overlooked pathway in ecosystem functioning: the role of animal carcass decomposition in trace element cycling. By linking animal life cycles to landscape‐scale processes, we explain how large animals redistribute scarce elements and influence spatial heterogeneity, with implications for ecosystem functioning and restoration.

The law of AI knowledge distillation
American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Knowledge distillation—the practice of training a compact student model on the outputs of a larger teacher model—has emerged as the fastest‐growing technique for replicating and disseminating frontier artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.The transportation of livestock poses an increased risk of disease transmission, with transportation vehicles acting as vectors for disease. Biosecurity management within the livestock industry is therefore critical to reduce the risk of disease transmission. This study investigated the current biosecurity practices of stakeholders within the livestock

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 We have started up the ALPACA (Andes Large area PArticle detector for Cosmic ray physics and Astronomy) project. The ALPACA experiment is composed of an 83,000 m2 air shower array and a 5,400 m2 underground muon detector array to make wide field-of-view high-sensitivity observations of high-energy cosmic rays/cosmic gamma rays on the Cerro Estuqueria ...

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 8
Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams–Landel–Ferry equation, of exhaustion/rate of dyeing/fixation data previously reported for and acid dye, natural dye and two reactive dyes on three different types of silk substrate revealed that thermally activated dye diffusivity is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the ...

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Large‐scale population‐based studies of risk and protective factors for youth mental health rarely assess youths' first‐hand experiences in their own words. This longitudinal study analyzed young people's self‐reported most important life events and examined how the key topics changed from midadolescence to young adulthood and are associated
