Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Feared, revered, and politicized, wolves have long captured human imagination, and ignited fierce conservation conflicts. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act protects species at risk of extinction from human impacts. This far‐reaching legislation, which impacts development and state‐level wildlife management, has been fraught with legal ...

Exploration and Exploitation: A Study on Sample Efficiency in Reinforcement Learning With Multifaceted Curiosity Rewards and Adaptive Experience Replay Utilisation in Sparse Reward Environments

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the widespread application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in autonomous systems has highlighted the importance of achieving high sample efficiency under sparse reward conditions. To improve sample efficiency in sparse reward environments, this paper proposes a reinforcement learning framework built upon the Soft Actor ...

Electrical Breakdown Analysis of Emerging Oil–Paper Insulation Systems

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This investigation addresses the effect of particulate additives on the electrical breakdown strength of the oil impregnated insulation paper system. The morphological complexity is addressed by converting data from scanning electron microscope images to a data set suitable for numerical simulation analysis. Then, by using the conventional oil‐

Does Rodent Management Impact the Distribution of Rattus rattus and Mastomys natalensis in Village Settings?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Ecological differences between species may result in differential impacts of control measures. Our experimental study showed that intensive removal of rodents from houses (mostly Rattus rattus) resulted in increased use of houses by Mastomys natalensis, a species usually found outdoors. Our results suggest that M.

The Questioning of Special Items During Conference Calls: High Quality or Highly Questionable? Réexaminer des éléments exceptionnels lors des conférences téléphoniques : une pratique d'excellence ou très contestable?

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accounting standards require firms to distinguish recurring revenues and expenses from nonrecurring gains and losses, which are often referred to as special items. However, not all special items are genuinely nonrecurring. Exploiting the setting of earnings conference calls, we explore whether analysts can identify opportunistic special items,

Do universal owners behave like universal owners? The emergence of a financial sector norm

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The past few years have seen a surge in scholarship on universal ownership, systematic stewardship, and system‐level investing. These concepts describe the reality that large diversified owners of capital own a more or less representative slice of the market and therefore must concern themselves with systemic risks to the financial system as a

Alterations in the Temporal Variation and Spatial Distribution of Blood–Brain Barrier Permeability Following Electromagnetic Pulse Radiation: A Study Based on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI

Brain Sciences
Background: Previous studies have suggested that electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can induce openings in the blood–brain barrier (BBB). However, the temporal variation and spatial distribution of BBB permeability after EMP radiation are difficult to assess ...

Asymptotic standard errors for reliability coefficients in item response theory

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent review, Liu et al. (Psychological Methods, 2025b) classified reliability coefficients into two types: classical test theory (CTT) reliability and proportional reduction in mean squared error (PRMSE). This article focuses on quantifying the sampling variability of these coefficients under item response theory (IRT) models.
