Spin Borromean surgeries

open access: yes, 2003
In 1986, Matveev defined the notion of Borromean surgery for closed oriented 3-manifolds and showed that the equivalence relation generated by this move is characterized by the pair (first betti number, linking form up to isomorphism).

Distributed Optimization of Finite Condition Number for Laplacian Matrix in Multi‐Agent Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the distributed optimization of the finite condition number of the Laplacian matrix in multi‐agent systems. The finite condition number, defined as the ratio of the largest to the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix, plays an important role in determining the convergence rate and performance of consensus ...

Evaluation of prestress losses in concrete beams using destructive and non‐destructive methods

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, prestressing techniques have become essential in the construction of key structures, infrastructure, and bridges. The serviceability and safety of prestressed concrete (PC) elements are closely tied to the effectiveness of the prestressing process.

A provably secure identity-based strong designated verifier proxy signature scheme from bilinear pairings

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2014
The proxy signature, a variant of the ordinary digital signature, has been an active research topic in recent years; it has many useful applications, including distributed systems and grid computing.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

On Basis Constructions in Finite Element Exterior Calculus

open access: yes, 2018
We give a systematic and self-contained account of the construction of geometrically decomposed bases and degrees of freedom in finite element exterior calculus.

Should you use data integration for your distribution model?

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This paper explores cases where data integration (the joint modelling of two or more observational datasets) is useful for species distribution models, and also highlights cases where it's actually not useful. This provides the first concrete guidance for deciding whether or not data integration is worth your time.

Identity Based Generalized Signcryption Scheme in the Standard Model

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Generalized signcryption (GSC) can adaptively work as an encryption scheme, a signature scheme or a signcryption scheme with only one algorithm. It is more suitable for the storage constrained setting.

Resource Availability and Habitat Quality Drive Time‐Lag Effects in High‐Altitude Ungulate Distribution

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate
