Abundance and occupancy trends of sooty grouse in western Oregon: determining best modeling practices by comparing observed and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.
Sooty grouse Dendragapus fuliginosus are large game birds that occupy montane forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA. These forests have been altered by human activities, which have been shown to have both positive and negative impacts on local populations.

American Sign Language (ASL): Linguistically and Cognitively - Why Deaf People Should Learn ASL & Learn it Early [PDF]

, 2023
This thesis presents data supporting the value of including American Sign Language (ASL) in the education of Deaf people. Historically, Deaf education has not fully included or has excluded ASL in an effort to focus on English due to a belief that ASL ...

Elevation‐Dependent Permafrost Thaw on the Tibetan Plateau Delays Seasonal Discharge and Poses a Risk of Reduction in Downstream Water Availability

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Global warming and permafrost thaw have significantly altered landscapes and hydrological conditions in permafrost regions. While site‐specific process studies have described hydrological changes during thawing, basin‐scale impact assessments and streamflow modeling remain challenging due to landscape heterogeneity and complex interactions ...

A framework for sign language recognition using support vector machines and active learning for skin segmentation and boosted temporal sub-units [PDF]

, 2007
This dissertation describes new techniques that can be used in a sign language recognition (SLR) system, and more generally in human gesture systems. Any SLR system consists of three main components: Skin detector, Tracker, and Recognizer.

Mechanisms and integrative machine learning approaches to blood–brain barrier biomarker profiling for personalized ischemic stroke management

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 13, July 2026.
Abstract Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption playing a central role in vasogenic edema, neuroinflammation, hemorrhagic transformation, and secondary neuronal injury. The BBB is a specialized neurovascular unit composed of endothelial tight junctions, pericytes, astrocytes,

MS-ASL: A Large-Scale Data Set and Benchmark for Understanding American Sign Language [PDF]

CoRR, 2018
Sign language recognition is a challenging and often underestimated problem comprising multi-modal articulators (handshape, orientation, movement, upper body and face) that integrate asynchronously on multiple streams. Learning powerful statistical models in such a scenario requires much data, particularly to apply recent advances of the field. However,

Radiocarbon Evidence for the Springtime Injection of South Himalayas Biomass Burning Into the Urban Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Carbonaceous aerosols (CA) on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) accelerate glacial melt, yet decoupling local emissions from transboundary transport remains challenging. We conducted a year‐long radiocarbon (14C) study in Lhasa, identifying it as a CA hotspot. Fossil fuels dominated EC (69%), while non‐fossil sources contributed 54% to OC.

Tropical Controls on West Antarctic Ice Sheet Surface Mass Balance Interannual Variability in the Twentieth Century

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contains an ice volumetric equivalent of 5.3 m of global mean sea‐level rise. Understanding the climate mechanisms that influence WAIS surface mass balance (SMB) can help reduce uncertainties in sea‐level rise projections. Previous work has focused on trends related to temperature and the roles of well‐known
