Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Selectivity and efficiency of predator control methods: a case study from a Mediterranean hunting ground

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Application of Intelligent Systems in CO2 Management: State of the Art and Future Prospects

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine learning (ML) integration is becoming increasingly popular in advancing the 4th industrial revolution, known as Industry 4.0. This review paper examines ML applications in CO2 management stages: emission, capture, and conversion. ML models, including multiple linear regression (MLR), multiple nonlinear regression (MNLR), and artificial

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

An investigation of the corrosion of domestic hot water tanks

, 1951
A method for the examination of corrosion in domestic hot water tanks is described. Results based on physical and metallographic examination of tanks taken from 15 localities in Ontario are given. Evidence is presented to show that the polarity of the zinc-iron couple reverses under certain service conditions.

Benefit Mechanism and Enhancement Strategy of High‐Proportion Building Photovoltaic Systems Under Carbon Reduction Constraints

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A benefit evaluation framework for high‐proportion building photovoltaic systems was established considering carbon reduction constraints and grid absorption costs. The study reveals the intrinsic contradiction between system‐level benefits and PV utilisation benefits, and proposes a dual‐driven optimisation pathway of effective generation and ...
