One‐more‐vertex Next‐Event Estimation with Hierarchical Geometry Sampling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Robust next‐event estimation (NEE) remains a challenge in scenes characterized by sparse or small‐scale geometry where indirect illumination is the primary transport mechanism. In these scenes, traditional path construction, which relies on local directional sampling, often fails to find intersections with the sparse geometry, and standard NEE

Cognitive and institutional barriers to effective natural resource management under global change

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many of the most challenging decisions facing natural resource managers today can be understood as time dependent. The concept of time‐dependent decisions is useful when considering natural resource management decisions that are characterized by nonstationarity in the underlying ecological system, uncertainty surrounding key ecological ...

Incorporating reef condition into conservation planning to meet place‐based biodiversity outcomes under the Global Biodiversity Framework

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract To achieve Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) Target 3, the selection of protected areas must consider the condition of ecosystems at sites in addition to the GBF 30% area target. Implementing this consideration for coral reef ecosystems is challenging because data describing condition are patchy and limited.

Sea Surface Temperature Influences Migratory Patterns of the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanographic variability plays a critical role in shaping the migratory behavior of the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). This study investigates the thermal preferences of individuals migrating through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Cádiz during pre‐ and post‐spawning movements.

Estimation of Total Sleep Time From Respiratory Event Intervals in Sleep Disordered Breathing

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The correct identification of respiratory events and estimation of total sleep time (TST), done in a sleep clinic with polysomnography (PSG), are central elements in the diagnostic process of sleep‐disordered breathing and in the quantification of its severity with the apnoea‐hypopnea index (AHI). However, total sleep time may not be available

Integrative revision of the Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Revision of the Calliphora stygia‐ and ochracea‐groups

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae are revised using an integrative approach combining morphology and mitogenomics. A new taxonomic key, morphological images and verified mitogenomic data, including COX1 barcodes, are provided to support the identification of species.

Artificial fish swarm optimization algorithm for power system state estimation [PDF]

, 2020
In this paper, the power system state estimation (SE) problem is formulated as a general non-linear programming problem with equality constraints and boundary limits on the state variables.

Epistemological Friction: Embodied Expertise and the ‘Last Mile’ of Agricultural Automation in the US Tree‐Fruit Industry

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous and AI‐driven agricultural technology is often framed as a panacea for labour dependency. While proponents envision autonomous technologies seamlessly optimising farming, this rationalised model misunderstands the reality of on‐farm integration.

The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).
