Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Lightweight Convolutional Neural Networks Model and Data Augmentation‐Based Background Regression for Rail Surface Defect Detection

Artificial Intelligence for Engineering, EarlyView.
An ultra‐lightweight semantic segmentation network RailNet with only 0.905 M parameters is proposed for rail surface defect detection. Combined with a CDBM image enhancement and GAN‐based data augmentation, RailNet achieves superior segmentation accuracy and real‐time speed on edge devices.

Views of Vidigal: negotiating opportunities and risks in a gentrifying favela in Rio de Janeiro Favela avec vue : négocier opportunités et risques dans un quartier en voie de gentrification à Rio de Janeiro

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The contested dynamics of slum gentrification in Rio de Janeiro came into focus during the brief period of relative peace brought by the pacification policy leading up to the 2016 Olympics. In this unprecedented moment, Rio's South Zone favela residents experienced a respite from the daily confrontations with police operations and drug trade violence ...

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...
