Design of a monitoring program to advance nightjar conservation along the Atlantic Flyway

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We examined differences in estimates of occupancy of nightjars in the Atlantic Flyway, determined number of nightjar‐specific survey routes required to estimate nightjar abundance, and developed a statistically defensible distribution of survey routes.

Engineering plant immune circuit: walking to the bright future with a novel toolbox

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 17-45, January 2023., 2023
Generating and developing disease‐resistant plant varieties are required to maintain a sustainable food stockpile and the environment. The ability to engineer immune regulatory components through several approaches, such as genetic transformation, CRISPR/Cas‐mediated gene knockdown/knockout, decoy engineering, pathogen effector‐based strategy, RNAi ...

Supercooling, Glass Formation, and Mineral Assemblages upon Freezing of Salty Ice Grains from Enceladus’s Ocean

The Planetary Science Journal
The analysis of micrometer-sized ice grains emitted into space by Saturn’s moon Enceladus suggests that the moon’s subsurface ocean may be habitable. However, the formation conditions of these ice grains are largely unknown.

Vision at high latitudes: High sensitivity without specific boreal adaptations in photoreception in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.)

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species.

Water ice lines and the formation of giant moons around super-Jovian planets [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Most of the exoplanets with known masses at Earth-like distances to Sun-like stars are heavier than Jupiter, which raises the question of whether such planets are accompanied by detectable, possibly habitable moons. Here we simulate the accretion disks around super-Jovian planets and find that giant moons with masses similar to Mars can form.

Knowledge as a collective status

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 277-304, December 2022., 2022
Abstract While social epistemology is a diverse field, much of it still understands knowledge as an individual status—albeit an individual status that crucially depends on various social factors (such as testimony). Further, the literature on group knowledge until now has primarily focused on limited, specialized groups that may be said to know this or

The Ancient Maya Script of Hand Forms Embedded in Figural Art: A Decipherment of Numerals Signed by the Rulers of Altar Q1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Ancient Maya texts are informationally dominated by hieroglyphic inscriptions and visually dominated by figural art with distinctly formed hands. The hands suggest iconographically embedded hand signs, which would constitute a unique modality of semantic expression and a discourse complement to hieroglyphic writing.

Are auditors insulated to positive client news? Evidence from audit fees and going‐concern opinions

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates if and how auditors consider positive news, related to their clients, when making audit decisions. Using a large sample of US listed companies, we find that auditors charge lower audit fees and are less likely to issue going‐concern opinions when there are a higher number of positive news items related to their clients.

Science Objectives of the Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) for the JUICE Mission [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Laser altimetry is a powerful tool for addressing the major objectives of planetary physics and geodesy, and have been applied in planetary explorations of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, and the asteroids Eros, and Itokawa. The JUpiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), led by European Space Agency (ESA), has started development to explore the emergence of ...
