Dietary and Ranging Behavior of Semi‐Free Ranging Lemur catta and Varecia rubra at Myakka City Lemur Reserve, Florida, USA

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Generalized Hash Chain Traversal with Selective Output

IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems, 2010
A hash chain H for a one-way hash function h(·) is a sequence of hash values , where v0 is a public value, vn a secret value, and vi =h(vi+1). A hash chain traversal algorithm T computes and outputs the hash chain H, returning vi in time period (called round) i for 1 ≤ i ≤ n.

Exploration and Exploitation: A Study on Sample Efficiency in Reinforcement Learning With Multifaceted Curiosity Rewards and Adaptive Experience Replay Utilisation in Sparse Reward Environments

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the widespread application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in autonomous systems has highlighted the importance of achieving high sample efficiency under sparse reward conditions. To improve sample efficiency in sparse reward environments, this paper proposes a reinforcement learning framework built upon the Soft Actor ...

The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.

The effect of nearby listings on house sale prices in Sydney: A spatio‐temporal regularization approach

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the price impact of very nearby concurrently listed properties in the Sydney housing market and assess their competition effects. We apply a hedonic model with spatiotemporal effects regularized via a graph Laplacian prior at the month‐by‐SA2 regional level to seven SA4 subregions of metropolitan Sydney. The model structure enables

Preserving evidence integrity in full file system extractions: Assessing hash inconsistencies and potential solutions

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Smartphone manufacturers' enhanced privacy and security measures, such as File‐Based Encryption (FBE), have disrupted traditional data extraction techniques, necessitating the adoption of Full File System Extraction (FFS). FFS requires booting a smartphone, decrypting its UserData partition, and accessing files individually, a process that ...
