Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Pooling information across sites and years to estimate bat fatalities at wind farms

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We compared complete pooling (CP), no pooling (NP), and partial pooling (PP) approaches for estimating detection probabilities and hence bat fatalities at wind farms. Partial pooling integrates information across sites and years, improving precision with sparse data while preserving site‐level variation.

A safe reinforcement learning approach for autonomous navigation of mobile robots in dynamic environments

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract When deploying mobile robots in real‐world scenarios, such as airports, train stations, hospitals, and schools, collisions with pedestrians are intolerable and catastrophic. Motion safety becomes one of the most fundamental requirements for mobile robots.

Coal Mining as a Driver of Land Use and Land Cover Change and Degradation: A Case in Moatize City, Mozambique

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.
