Strategies for balancing exploration and exploitation in electromagnetic optimisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The paper focuses on the advantages and drawbacks of different strategies which may be used to assist kriging surrogate modelling with the purpose of selecting multiple design vectors for evaluation when stepping forward in optimisation routines.

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Integrating multiple surveys using state–space models improves inference of population trends for Illinois furbearers

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

Changes of Potential Suitable Areas for Lynx Under Climate Change in Mohe Area, Daxing'anling Mountains, China 气候变化下中国大兴安岭漠河地区猞猁潜在适宜区的变化

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 ...

Considerations of uncertainty in robust optimisation of electromagnetic devices

open access: yes, 2014
Due to unavoidable uncertainties related to material properties and manufacturing processes, the robustness of the optimal solution must be considered when designing electromagnetic devices.

Using Harvest Data to Assess Factors Influencing Regional Population Declines of Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) 利用捕获数据评估影响麝鼠 (Ondatra zibethicus) 区域种群数量下降的相关因素

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Universities as the Next Counterintelligence Battleground in Geopolitical Contests

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, universities are increasingly becoming the target of foreign national security actors, engaging in espionage, sabotage, foreign interference and intellectual property theft. Despite that, there has been no examination of the utilisation of counterintelligence approaches by universities to the threats they face from the subordination ...

Species‐Specific Genetic Patterns in Sympatric Freshwater Turtles Challenge a Generalized Multi‐Species Conservation Approach

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure in the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina; left panel), Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii; bottom right), and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata; top right) sampled in areas of co‐occurrence across ~49,160 km2.

Balancing Exploration and Exploitation using Kriging Surrogate Models in Electromagnetic Design Optimization

open access: yes, 2006
The balance between exploration and exploitation is an important issue when attempting to find the global minimum of an objective function. This paper describes how this balance may be carefully controlled when using Kriging surrogate models to ...
