Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

Modeling the distances traveled by flying insects based on the combination of flight mill and mark-release-recapture experiments

Ecological Modelling, 2019
The number of invasive species is increasing throughout the world. One of the corner stones to successfully control them is to better estimate their dispersal capabilities.

Evaluation of Panoramic Acquisition Errors by Predoctoral Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Panoramic radiography is commonly used in the management of dental‐alveolar pathology. Novice clinicians are prone to technical errors that diminish the diagnostic quality of radiographs. The objective of this study was to analyze technical errors made during panoramic exposures by third‐year (D3) dental students in order to enhance

Evidence of high longevity in an Island lacertid, Teira dugesii (Milne-Edwards, 1829). First data on wild specimens

Acta Herpetologica, 2012
Using the technique of capture, mark and recapture, here is reported a case of high longevity in the Madeiran lizard, Teira dugesii. It is one of the highest reported values for lacertid lizards (16 years or more) in a wild population.

Reliability of Different Mark-Recapture Methods for Population Size Estimation Tested against Reference Population Sizes Constructed from Field Data

PLoS ONE, 2014
Reliable estimates of population size are fundamental in many ecological studies and biodiversity conservation. Selecting appropriate methods to estimate abundance is often very difficult, especially if data are scarce.

Navigating Acceptability: A Think‐Aloud Study of Subjective and Contextual Factors in Radiographic Image Rejection

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated how radiographers assess radiographic image quality using the think‐aloud technique. It reveals that image quality assessment is shaped by both technical standards and subjective, contextual factors, including patient condition and interprofessional dynamics. This highlights the importance of balancing standardised criteria with

Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...

Revisiting the Effect of Capture Heterogeneity on Survival Estimates in Capture-Mark-Recapture Studies: Does It Matter?

PLoS ONE, 2013
Recently developed capture-mark-recapture methods allow us to account for capture heterogeneity among individuals in the form of discrete mixtures and continuous individual random effects.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

Manufacturing Nostalgia in the Digital Age: A Foreverism Perspective

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many scholars argue that we are experiencing the era of “retro”—nostalgia‐driven marketing and consumption phenomena reinforced by digital technologies. However, existing research lacks a critical analysis of nostalgia in contemporary markets and of how digital content, tools, and environments transform retro consumption experiences and alter ...
