Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism
Wildlife 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.

Electronic structure and bandgap of γ-Al2O3 compound using mBJ exchange potential [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2012 Abstract γ-Al2O3 is a porous metal oxide and described as a defective spinel with some cationic vacancies. In this work, we calculate the electronic density of states and band structure for the bulk of this material. The calculations are performed within the density functional theory using the full potential augmented plan waves plus local ...

Integrative 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.

Sn(II)-containing phosphates as optoelectronic materials
, 2016 We theoretically investigate Sn(II) phosphates as optoelectronic materials using first principles calculations. We focus on known prototype materials Sn$_n$P$_2$O$_{5+n}$ (n=2, 3, 4, 5) and a previously unreported compound, SnP$_2$O$_6$ (n=1), which we ...

Animal 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.

Allergy, EarlyView.This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluated the effects of live probiotic and HT postbiotic B. longum CECT 7347 in adults with moderate–severe allergic rhinitis. Postbiotic supplementation for 8 weeks significantly reduced CSMS and dSS, exceeding the established CSMS MCID with a 33% greater improvement, when compared to placebo ...

Interactive Groupwise Comparison for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
Computer 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 ...

The distribution of red and blue galaxies in groups: an empirical test of the halo model
, 2004 The popular halo model predicts that the power spectrum of the galaxy fluctuations is simply the sum of the large scale linear halo-halo power spectrum and the weighted power spectrum of the halo profile.

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Preterm birth rates may have been affected during the COVID‐19 pandemic but the impact of this on perinatal morbidity is unknown. Aim To review the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on rates of preterm birth and perinatal mortality. Methods Medline, Embase, and online pre‐prints were searched from Jan 2020 to Oct 2022.
