Dimensions of corvid consciousness [PDF]
Animal CognitionCorvids have long been a target of public fascination and of scientific attention, particularly in the study of animal minds. Using Birch et al.’s (2020) 5-dimensional framework for animal consciousness we ask what it is like to be a corvid and propose a

Acoustic variation in alarm calls of Corvidae–effect of morphology, ecology and phylogeny [PDF]
Animal CognitionBioacoustic parameters of vocalization are generally well adapted to the environment that the species inhabits and are influenced by the morphology and life history of the species.

Predator‐specific mortality of sage‐grouse nests based on predator DNA on eggshells [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGreater sage‐grouse (hereafter sage‐grouse; Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their range. Increased nest predation as a result of anthropogenic land use is one mechanism proposed to explain these declines.

Rapid thrombogenesis prediction in COVID-19 patients using DNN with data labeling [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe rapid spread of COVID-19 globally has led to a surge in patients, among whom the incidence of blood clotting has been observed. This phenomenon poses a significant risk, potentially leading to cerebral hemorrhage and severe complications.

Modeling Transport of SARS-CoV-2 Inside a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) Bus
Fluids, 2022 We present in this paper a model of the transport of human respiratory particles on a Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus to examine the efficacy of interventions to limit exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The methods discussed
