Capacity building needed to reap the benefits of access to biodiversity collections

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global conservation efforts increasingly depend on digitised natural history collections, yet the benefits of this digital data are not equally shared. We analysed biodiversity specimens and citation data from Montserrat and the Cayman Islands to assess who collected these specimens, how they are used, and by whom.

On Fejér type inequalities via fractional integrals

open access: yesJournal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics, 2018
In this paper, we extend some weighted version of the Hermite-Hadamard type and Fejer type inequalities for fractional integrals. The results presented here would provide extensions of those given in earlier works.

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Accreditation Against Limited Adversarial Noise

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
An upgraded accreditation (a variant of quantum verification) scheme is presented, significantly relaxing the assumptions, to allow adversarial noise, while preserving the suitability for near‐term / immediate usage. Abstract An accreditation protocol (a variety of quantum verification) is presented, where error is assumed to be adversarial (in ...

Data‐Based Refinement of Parametric Uncertainty Descriptions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider dynamical systems with a linear fractional representation involving parametric uncertainties which are either constant or varying with time. Given a finite‐horizon input‐state or input‐output trajectory of such a system, we propose a numerical scheme which iteratively improves the available knowledge about the involved constant ...

Comparative Analysis of the Performances of a Nonlinear Observer and Nonlinear Kalman Filters in the Presence of Non‐Gaussian Disturbances

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on state estimation for a fairly general class of systems, involving nonlinear functions and disturbances in both the process dynamics and output equations. A nonlinear observer that satisfies a H∞$$ {\boldsymbol{H}}_{\boldsymbol{\infty}} $$ disturbance attenuation constraint in addition to providing asymptotic stability in ...

On the compatibility of single‐scan terrestrial LiDAR with digital photogrammetry and field inventory metrics of vegetation structure in forest and agroforestry landscapes

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The single‐scan approach to terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and the self‐terrain‐normalized form of drone‐based digital aerial photogrammetry (DAP) offer practical options for rapid assessment of the vegetation structure in tropical landscapes.

Can Artificial Intelligence Technologies Advance Environmental Sustainability? The Role of Institutional Adaptability and Skill‐Biased Technological Transformation

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitous proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across contemporary global economic systems necessitates a comprehensive empirical examination of their environmental ramifications, particularly with respect to environmental sustainability paradigms.

Prioritization of the Sustainable Development Goals: Developing and Testing a Novel Framework Under Varying Geographic Scales

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops and tests a novel prioritization framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under varying geographic scales (regional, sub‐regional, national), focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region as a pilot case.
