Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

Methodological Challenges in Studying Wealthy Families
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Studying the wealthy is not easy. This piece provides suggestions for recruitment, interview strategies, and design to gain high‐quality data on wealthy people. It is based on an interview study of 81 US racially‐diverse families with a median net worth of $25 million. First, to gain access to the wealthy, it is key for the researcher to use a

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accounting standards require firms to distinguish recurring revenues and expenses from nonrecurring gains and losses, which are often referred to as special items. However, not all special items are genuinely nonrecurring. Exploiting the setting of earnings conference calls, we explore whether analysts can identify opportunistic special items,

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.RÉSUMÉ L'étude publiée par Ball et Brown en 1968 (ci‐après « BB68 ») est principalement reconnue pour son affirmation selon laquelle la comptabilité de l'époque était utile pour les investisseurs, s'inscrivant alors en contradiction avec la littérature comptable normative faisant office d'autorité. Or, une telle affirmation n'allait pas de soi.

Multiple Source Localization Based on Acoustic Map De-Emphasis
EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2010 This paper describes a novel approach for localization of multiple sources overlapping in time. The proposed algorithm relies on acoustic maps computed in multi-microphone settings, which are descriptions of the distribution of the acoustic activity in ...
