Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

UIDF-Net: Unsupervised Image Dehazing and Fusion Utilizing GAN and Encoder–Decoder
Journal of ImagingHaze weather deteriorates image quality, causing images to become blurry with reduced contrast. This makes object edges and features unclear, leading to lower detection accuracy and reliability.

‘More Beastliness Than Beauty’: Gendering Pica in Seventeenth‐Century English Medicine and Culture
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Today, defined as the ‘persistent eating of non‐nutritive substances’, pica is a lesser‐known eating disorder with a long history. Defined in early modern England as the ‘desire to eat absurd things’, pica was explicitly gendered, associated with pregnant women and pubescent girls.

Sharpness-aware evaluation methodology for haze-removal processing in automotive systems
, 2016 This paper presents a new comparison method for haze-removal algorithms in nextgeneration automotive systems. Compared to previous peak signal-to-noise ratio–based comparisons, which measure similarity, the proposed modulation transfer function–based ...

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As hybrid threats blur the line between war and peace and challenge conventional deterrence logics, states increasingly turn to concepts of resilience, civil preparedness and whole‐of‐society as elements of their security strategies. This raises the question of how civilian agency can be viewed as an element of deterrence and what the ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.
