Intrinsic Properties of Composite Double Layer Grid Superstructures

Infrastructures, 2023
This paper examined the opportunities of composite double-layer grid superstructures in short-to-medium span bridge decks. It was empirically shown here that a double-layer grid deck system in composite action with a thin layer of two−way reinforced ...

The diversity of people's relationships with biodiversity should inform forest restoration and creation

Conservation Letters, 2023
Forest restoration/creation is a policy focus worldwide, with initiatives pledging to plant billions of trees. While there is an emphasis on providing “the right tree in the right place,” we need to understand for whom the trees are right.

The economics of species extinction: An economist’s viewpoint

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
There is growing evidence to suggest that there is an increase in species extinction occurring globally. In this article, we briefly review the literature on the economics of species extinction, examining what is meant by extinction before explaining how

Rolling quantum dice with a superconducting qubit

, 2014
One of the key challenges in quantum information is coherently manipulating the quantum state. However, it is an outstanding question whether control can be realized with low error.

Continuous Dice Coefficient: a Method for Evaluating Probabilistic Segmentations [PDF]

bioRxiv, 2018
Objective Overlapping measures are often utilized to quantify the similarity between two binary regions. However, modern segmentation algorithms output a probability or confidence map with continuous values in the zero-to-one interval.

An Improved Dice Loss for Pneumothorax Segmentation by Mining the Information of Negative Areas

IEEE Access, 2020
The lesion regions of a medical image account for only a small part of the image, and a critical imbalance exists in the distribution of the positive and negative samples, which affects the segmentation performance of the lesion regions.

Riparian Reserves Promote Insectivorous Bat Activity in Oil Palm Dominated Landscapes

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
The expansion of oil palm agriculture has contributed to biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia and elsewhere in the tropics. Riparian reserves (areas of native forest along waterways) have the potential to maintain forest biodiversity and associated ...
