Mark the Unexpected! Animacy Preference and Directed Movement in Visual Language. [PDF]

Cogn Sci
Abstract A preference for animate entities over inanimate entities is commonly found in perception and language. In our corpus study based on a cross‐cultural set of 331 comics from 81 countries, we asked whether animacy preference plays a role in the morphological marking of motion in the visual language(s) used in comics.

Contrasting ecological information content in whaling archives with modern cetacean surveys for conservation planning and identification of historical distribution changes

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Many species are restricted to a marginal or suboptimal fraction of their historical range due to anthropogenic impacts, making it hard to interpret their ecological preferences from modern‐day data alone. However, inferring past ecological states is limited by the availability of robust data and biases in historical archives, posing a ...

A joint distribution framework to improve presence‐only species distribution models by exploiting opportunistic surveys

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1176-1192, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim The availability of data related to species occurrences has favoured the development of species distribution models using only observations of presence. These data are intrinsically biased by the sampling effort. Presence‐only (PO) species distribution models (SDM) typically account for this effect by introducing additional data considered

Mapping poverty at the local level in Europe: A consistent spatial disaggregation of the AROPE indicator for France, Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 13, Issue 1, Page 63-81, February 2021., 2021
Abstract In the EU, territorial inequalities in terms of income and poverty have been broadly analysed at the national and regional levels. However, mainly due to the lack of reliable data, very little attention has been paid to territorial inequalities within European regions, namely, at a more local level, such as in metropolitan areas, cities or ...

Philosophical Analysis of the Meaning and Nature of Entropy and Negative Entropy Theories

Complexity, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The interpretation of entropy and negative entropy theories on the nature of information is the first scientific paradigm on the interpretation of the nature of information at the beginning of the rise of contemporary information science. The information entropy or negative entropy theories are the relative measurement for the structuralization degree ...

Green Start‐Ups’ Attitudes towards Nature When Complying with the Corporate Law

Complexity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
This paper examines how Spanish green start‐ups develop improved attitudes towards nature. Despite the prevalence of theories based on green entrepreneurs, very little research has been conducted on how green attributes influence nature in the framework of the new Spanish Criminal Code in what concerns corporate compliance.

Wavelet‐Based Multiscale Adaptive LBP with Directional Statistical Features for Recognizing Artificial Faces

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Recognizing avatar faces is a very important issue for the security of virtual worlds. In this paper, a novel face recognition technique based on the wavelet transform and the multiscale representation of the adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP) with directional statistical features is proposed to increase the accuracy rate of recognizing avatars in ...
