Five critical questions we should ask of rewilding projects—And that social science can help us answer

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Engaging conservation decision‐making with critical aspects of social science can enhance the equitability of conservation practice by recentring issues of social and environmental justice. Using rewilding as a conservation case in point, we identify five foundational questions to ask of rewilding projects to help align rewilding decision ...

Equivalence of two Fixed-Point Semantics for Definitional Higher-Order Logic Programs

, 2015
Two distinct research approaches have been proposed for assigning a purely extensional semantics to higher-order logic programming. The former approach uses classical domain theoretic tools while the latter builds on a fixed-point construction defined on

Differential reflectivity columns and hail: Linking C‐band radar‐based estimated column characteristics to crowdsourced hail observations in Switzerland

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Differential reflectivity columns (ZDRC$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}}C $$) have been detected automatically on a composite of radar data derived from five operational C‐band dual‐polarization Doppler weather radars in Switzerland. The characteristics of the detected ZDRC$$ {Z}_{\mathrm{DR}}C $$ are linked to a large sample of 173,000 crowdsourced hail ...

The Emotional Valence of Hyperrationality in STEM Learning: Reinscriptions and Contestations of Coloniality

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, this paper examines the emergence and performance of hyperrationality in STEM classrooms. Hyperrationality describes verbal and embodied expressions whereby learners try to maintain an appearance of neutrality and emotional distance to ...

Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource‐poor settings

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Scarcity of productive factors poses a challenge for firms entering underdeveloped regions. We theorize that incumbent firms can overcome scarcity of skilled human capital in local labor markets by redeploying workers from existing units.

A systems‐theoretical exploration for understanding and enhancing policy design: Expanding an analytical locus with implications for policy studies

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Policy design has two analytical domains, policy design‐as‐formulation and policy design‐as‐content. The latter study policies as codified and constructed output of the formulation process, which is an activity directed to the process. The analytical concept ‘structural logic’ emerged as an internal property of policy text and has been ...

A combined concrete cone breakout—pull‐out model for cast‐in‐place fasteners

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cast‐in‐place fasteners are widely used in civil engineering to connect steel or other elements to reinforced concrete. Despite the inherent importance of such components in structural design, the introduction of dedicated mechanical models for their verifications is quite recent.

Theories of truth for countable languages which conform to classical logic [PDF]

Every countable language which conforms to classical logic is shown to have an extension which has a consistent definitional theory of truth. That extension has a consistent semantical theory of truth, if every sentence of the object language is ...

Competing for Views and Students: The Implications of Platformization for Online Language Teaching

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Language teachers increasingly make use of digital platforms to find students, upload teaching material, give lessons, and promote themselves. This article examines the accounts of two popular English teachers from China on the social media platform Douyin and explores similarities and differences in the two teachers' self‐branding strategies.

Approximate‐Guided Representation Learning in Vision Transformer

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the transformer model has demonstrated excellent performance in computer vision (CV) applications. The key lies in its guided representation attention mechanism, which uses dot‐product to depict complex feature relationships, and comprehensively understands the context semantics to obtain feature weights.
