Exploring the Impact of Unsafe Behaviors on Building Construction Accidents Using a Bayesian Network. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 Unsafe behavior is a critical factor leading to construction accidents. Despite numerous studies supporting this viewpoint, the process by which accidents are influenced by construction workers’ unsafe behaviors and the extent to which unsafe behaviors ...

occumb: An R package for site occupancy modeling of eDNA metabarcoding data
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study introduces a new R package, occumb, for the convenient application of site occupancy modeling using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data. We outline a data analysis workflow, including data setup, model fitting, model assessment, and comparison of potential study settings based on model predictions, all of which can be performed using

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Thermally Curved Glass - Research and Standardisation of the Four-Point Bending Test
Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018 Research has shown that the general approach to determine the bending strength of thermally curved glass with the aid of the four-point bending test for flat glass according to EN 1288-3 is applicable. At the moment, however, there is no statutory method

BIM-Integrated Collaborative Robotics for Application in Building Construction and Maintenance
Robotics, 2020 The application of robotics in construction is hindered by the site environment, which is unstructured and subject to change. At the same time, however, buildings and corresponding sites can be accurately described by Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...
