Negative symbolism of wildlife shapes human–nature coexistence: The plight of owls in Nigeria

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–wildlife coexistence in culturally diverse landscapes requires understanding how socio‐cultural processes shape perceptions and behaviours towards conservation‐priority species. This study examines perceptions, belief‐based uses and conservation attitudes towards owls in communities surrounding six Protected Areas in Nigeria, addressing ...

Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Generalizing the Gaussian Network Model: Spanning‐Tree Thermodynamics Shows Entropy‐Driven KRAS Activation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The GTPase KRAS executes a conformational switch between a GTP‐bound active state and a GDP‐bound inactive state, a process central to oncogenic signaling. However, the structural basis of this switching at the level of residue‐contact organization remains incompletely characterized by traditional binary structural models.

EnKF and expectation‐maximization based parameter estimation of a convective gravity‐wave parameterization using Strateole 2 constant‐level balloon data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
An offline methodology is applied to estimate parameters of a convective gravity‐wave scheme using momentum flux (MF) observations from constant‐level balloons (left panels: pdfs of east and west MFs in green from observations and black from EnKF). The approach integrates an ensemble Kalman filter with an expectation‐maximization algorithm and permits ...

Multi‐Objective Bayesian Co‐Optimization of Parameterized Moving Horizon Estimation and Model Predictive Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a Machine Learning (ML)‐enabled estimator‐controller design framework, in which a parameterized Model Predictive Controller (MPC) and a parameterized Moving Horizon Estimator (MHE) are jointly refined using Bayesian Optimization (BO).

Frequency Shaping for Improving a Trade‐Off Between Control and Privacy Performance: Beyond Differential Privacy

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In privacy protection of control systems, a trade‐off between control performance and privacy level is often pointed out. Our goal in this paper is to improve this trade‐off by shaping the frequency of noise added for privacy protection when the control objective is to track a reference signal, which is taken as a piece of information whose ...
