Recursive Grid Indexing for Fast Non‐Uniform Quantization Without Binary Search

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To present Recursive Grid Indexing (RGI), a practical software technique for accelerating non‐uniform quantization and predecessor queries without relying on binary search at any stage. Design/Methodology/Approach RGI replaces conventional logarithmic binary search with a recursive, low‐branching grid structure. The method constructs a

From Patterns to Attractor‐Like Modes: A Systems Sensemaking Framework for Recurring Conflict in Healthcare Teams

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recurring conflict in healthcare teams frequently persists despite well‐intended interventions (Page et al. 2024; Mazzei et al. 2024). Dynamic systems theory helps to map how such recurrences reflect systemic feedback loops linking individual experience, behaviour, shared beliefs and organisational structures, supporting intervention design at

Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Do Shifts in Migrant Labour due to COVID‐19 Affect Climate Change Adaptation Practices of Climate‐Vulnerable Farmers? Implications for the Post‐Pandemic Future

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of our study is to examine how migrant labour shifts due to the COVID‐19 pandemic influenced the adaptation behaviour of climate‐vulnerable farmers in Nepal. We examine how the resulting temporary change in climate change adaptation behaviour may be sustainable and improved after migrant labour returns to overseas employment by ...
