High‐Power Performance of Textured Piezoelectric Ceramics Through Synergistic A‐Site Donor and B‐Site Acceptor Doping

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
A/B‐site co‐doping combined with templated grain growth enables synergistic defect and domain engineering in textured PIN–PMN–PT ceramics. The approach simultaneously enhances piezoelectric response and mechanical quality factor, achieving a balanced soft–hard characteristic.

Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Electronic structure of YbB$_{6}$: Is it a Topological Insulator or not?

open access: yes, 2016
To resolve the controversial issue of the topological nature of the electronic structure of YbB$_{6}$, we have made a combined study using density functional theory (DFT) and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Improved half-metallic ferromagnetism of transition-metal pnictides and chalcogenides calculated with a modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential

open access: yes, 2010
We use a density-functional-theory (DFT) approach with a modified Becke-Johnson exchange plus local density approximation (LDA) correlation potential (mBJLDA) [semi-local, orbital-independent, producing accurate semiconductor gaps. see F.

Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.

Design of a low band gap oxide ferroelectric: Bi$_6$Ti$_4$O$_{17}$

open access: yes, 2011
A strategy for obtaining low band gap oxide ferroelectrics based on charge imbalance is described and illustrated by first principles studies of the hypothetical compound Bi$_6$Ti$_4$O$_{17}$, which is an alternate stacking of the ferroelectric Bi$_4$Ti ...

Host preferences of non‐native Acalolepta aesthetica (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) on the Island of Hawaiʻi

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Interactive Groupwise Comparison for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
The standard RLHF uses pairwise comparisons and therefore requires a large number of comparisons leading to a high workload. The comparison pairs are suggested by the system and cannot be chosen by the user. Our RLHF approach provides more agency to the user and demands less work: we leverage the user's visual abilities to effectively explore the ...
