MusselFinder: Automated dreissenid mussel density estimation via robotic benthic imaging

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the widespread need to map the abundance of invasive quagga and zebra mussels (Dreissena spp.) in lakes and reservoirs worldwide, current methods remain limited by data collection and analysis bottlenecks. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) combined with machine learning (ML) offer a scalable remote sensing approach for estimating ...

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

A Bayesian Spatial Disaggregation Approach for Fine‐Scale Mapping of Water Access Disparities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Access to clean water remains a critical challenge for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. While national statistics agencies report water access at coarse municipal scales, this data obscure critical hotspots where vulnerable populations lack essential services.

A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Bioaccessibility of Metal(loid)s From Anthropogenic Contamination in Dry Riverbed Sediments in the Cartagena–La Unión Mining District (Murcia, SE Spain): Implications for Human Health Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the contamination levels, bioaccessibility, and potential health risks of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in sediments from three dry riverbeds (El Beal‐EB, Las Matildes‐LM, and Ponce‐PN) impacted by historical mining activities in the Cartagena‐La Unión Mining District.

Study of Three-Dimensional Digital Core Reconstruction Based on Multiple-Point Geostatistics in a Cylindrical Coordinate System

IEEE Access, 2019
Image inpainting and the extraction of different components from the electrical image log images are performed. After generating the training image, determining the appropriate template, multigrid, and event, calculating the conditional probability ...

Pesticides and Hypospadias in Southern Brazil: An Ecological Study

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rio Grande do Sul ranks among the Brazilian states with the highest pesticide consumption and one of the highest prevalences of hypospadias, a congenital anomaly often associated with prenatal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals. We assessed the relationship between prenatal pesticide exposure and hypospadias risk through an ecological ...

Regional Prediction of Soil Nutrient Availability and Management Using Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Portable x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy has emerged as a rapid and cost‐effective technique for soil elemental analysis; however, its application for predicting available nutrients and supporting agronomic decision making remains insufficiently evaluated under field conditions.
