Severity‐Based Reliability Assessment of Energy Communities

open access: yesSafety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
We develop a severity‐based semi‐Markov framework that replaces binary generation‐demand adequacy with a time‐varying, multistate classification of renewable‐energy shortfalls. The method quantifies shortfall probability, magnitude, persistence, first‐passage time, and unsafe occupation, and derives a cyclo‐stationary severity law to support safety ...

Impacts of Change‐Type and State‐Type System Qualities on Complex System Architectures

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT System qualities, such as scalability, expandability, and reconfigurability, are key requirements of complex systems. Requirements associated with system qualities are important factors in design trade space analyses, but systems engineering design methodologies make only limited use of these qualities, hindering a holistic understanding of ...

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Detecting changes in distribution and abundance using harvest data in two sympatric bear species in Southeast Alaska

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Monitoring wildlife populations in remote landscapes is challenging due to the difficulties of conducting field surveys. However, harvest data, which are routinely collected by management agencies, offer valuable insights into population trends. Brown bear Ursus arctosand American black bear U.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...
