Rate‐type and integral‐type sectional analysis for time‐dependent response with the fib Model Code 2020

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the time‐dependent behavior of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using integral‐ and rate‐type formulations, applying the concrete creep and steel relaxation models from the fib Model Code 2020. The stress–strain law for aging concrete is expressed by a second‐order differential equation, but a single rate‐type

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Handheld photogrammetry advances capabilities to systematically characterize broken‐rock habitat

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We developed a novel workflow using handheld photogrammetry to map and quantify fine‐scale habitat characteristics in broken‐rock patches, enabling detailed assessment of structurally complex habitats. Using structure‐from‐motion and image segmentation techniques, we generated high‐resolution digital elevation models and orthomosaics to classify cover ...

Bird Community Composition, Migration, and Environmental Factors Jointly Influence the Global Distribution of Avian Haemosporidian Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidians are widely distributed; however, the role of migratory and non‐migratory birds, as well as environmental conditions, is incompletely understood. A histogram of the number of parasite lineages per ecoregion shows the variation in avian haemosporidian richness across space.

Harvesting benefits: Exploring the effects of second‐best policies on enhancing soil organic carbon stocks in agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Arianna's Palette: A Diagnostic Study of the Painting Walls of the Domus of Arianna in Pompeii

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The House of Arianna, also known as the House of Colored Capitals, represents, with its 1700 m2 of floor space, one of the most majestic examples of a residence within the Pompeii archaeological site. The research developed within the project “Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society—CHANGES” reports the outcomes of the ...

Drones: Emergence of a transformative technology for island rodent eradications

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Drones have emerged as a potentially powerful tool to address an ongoing need for alternative rodent eradication solutions on remote islands. This potential has now been demonstrated in a diverse set of operations across the Pacific. In the coming decades, this novel toolset also offers the possibility to step beyond existing paradigms and imagine a ...

Integration of Multiple Data Types to Document Spatial Effort in a Recreational Fishery for Highly Migratory Species in Relation to Offshore Wind Development

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expansion of offshore wind interests in US waters has raised concern over potential adverse impacts to fisheries activity and productivity. Yet evidence‐based platforms for assessing those impacts are lacking for many recreational fisheries.

Handling Out‐of‐Sample Areas to Estimate the Unemployment Rate at Local Labour Market Areas in Italy

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Unemployment rate estimates for small areas are used to efficiently support the distribution of services and the allocation of resources, grants and funding. A Fay–Herriot type model is the most used tool to obtain these estimates. Under this approach out‐of‐sample areas require some synthetic estimates. As the geographical context is extremely
