Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

A Semi-Empirical State of Health Estimation Method for Batteries of Electric Vehicles Operating in Varying Real-World Conditions

IEEE Access
Present research on battery State of Health (SoH) estimation is mainly focusing on constant conditions, solely cycling conditions or solely storage conditions, whereas few attempts have been made for varying real-world conditions.

A Space for “us”: Sensory Ethnography as an Embodied Method in Food Anthropology

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minority communities are vulnerable to poor health due to diet‐related diseases, a fact that food anthropologists have long discussed. This is also something that the individuals living within constrained food environments are aware of and challenge intellectually and on an embodied basis through food choices based on cultural and physical ...

Origin of the anomalous long lifetime of 14C

, 2011
We report the microscopic origins of the anomalously suppressed beta decay of 14C to 14N using the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) with the Hamiltonian from chiral effective field theory (EFT) including three-nucleon force (3NF) terms.
