Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...

Scaling turbulence drives the general circulation

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The NOAA Gulfstream SP4, which deployed the GPS dropsondes over the NE Pacific Ocean as part of the Winter Storms Project during the January–March periods of 2004, 2005 and 2006. Abstract Statistical multifractal analysis of airborne and dropsonde observations is used to show that persistence of velocity after molecular collisions breaks the continuous

Intrinsic bursts facilitate learning of Lévy flight movements in recurrent neural network models

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Isolated spikes and bursts of spikes are thought to provide the two major modes of information coding by neurons. Bursts are known to be crucial for fundamental processes between neuron pairs, such as neuronal communications and synaptic plasticity ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Dependent jump processes with coupled Lévy measures [PDF]

open access: yes
I present a simple method for the modeling and simulation of dependent positive jump processes through a series representation. Each constituent process is represented by a series whose terms are equal to a transformation of the jump times of a standard ...

Quantum Machine Learning for Cybersecurity: A Taxonomy and Future Directions

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context The rapid increase in cyber threats, coupled with increasingly sophisticated attack strategies and the exponential growth of data in recent years, has exposed significant limitations in classical machine learning, rule‐based, and signature‐based defense mechanisms.

Retrodicting with the truncated Lévy flight

open access: yes, 2023
There is a point in predicting the past (retrodicting) because we lack information about it. To address this issue, we consider a truncated Lévy flight to model data.

Abattoir antemortem inspection protocol: Observation of unloading improves detection of transport welfare compromises in livestock

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ensuring livestock welfare throughout the production chain, including transport, is an ethical and regulatory imperative. However, protocols to assess transport‐related welfare during routine abattoir inspections are not standardised, including antemortem (AM) inspection by an official veterinarian at UK abattoirs.
