Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Analysis of small‐angle scattering data of interacting ellipsoids using pair distance distribution functions

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
Pair distance distribution functions of interacting ellipsoidal particles can be hard to interpret. This difficulty can be circumvented partially by the generalized indirect Fourier transformation.Pair distance distribution functions (PDDFs) similar to those obtained by indirect Fourier transformation of small‐angle scattering data from interacting ...

Renormalization techniques for inflation systems and some of their applications

Acta Crystallographica Section A, EarlyView.
In this work, renormalization methods for quantities related to the diffraction of inflation systems are surveyed.Exact renormalization techniques are important and powerful, particularly for inflation‐generated systems. We review recent results in this direction.

Conceptual colour: race, economic knowledge, and the anthropology of financialization De la couleur comme concept : race, connaissances économiques et anthropologie de la financiarisation

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Economic anthropologists now carry out fieldwork in settings for which the ethnographic method was never designed, amongst powerful financial actors who are notoriously difficult to access, and in contexts which transcend geographical boundaries. This has engendered a re‐orientation of anthropology, to consider not only the economic lives of people but

Comparative Efficiency of eDNA, Camera Traps and Scat Surveys to Detect a Semi‐Aquatic Mammal Across Multiple Catchments

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.

One‐Class Autoencoders for Porcelain Art Attribution: The Case of William Billingsley

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This comprehensive study explores the application of advanced machine learning techniques, specifically one‐class autoencoders, for the authentication and attribution of English porcelain artworks. Focusing primarily on the works of William Billingsley (1758–1828), one of England's most celebrated porcelain decorators, we demonstrate how ...
