Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Mueller-Polarimetry of Barley Leaves II: Mueller Matrix Decompositions

Photonics
This paper highlights the application of decomposition methods in Mueller polarimetry for the discrimination of three groups of barley leaf samples from Hordeum vulgare: Chlorina mutant, Chlorina etiolated mutant and Cesaer varieties in the visible ...

Harvesting the Spin-Orbit Interaction of Light to Generate Helicity-Dependent Complex Rotational Motion in Optically Trapped Mesoscopic Matter. [PDF]

Nanophotonics
Spin–orbit interaction (SOI) of light is exploited to generate helicity‐dependent complex rotational and revolution dynamics in optical tweezers. At the trap center, particle rotation is governed by the direct helicity that follows the input polarization.

Tales of Cyberspace and Artificial Intelligence: Diverging Stakeholderships?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article traces the evolution of the Internet from the 1990s to the 2020s and compares it with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly following the public launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. It identifies both parallels and divergencies between these two overlapping technological domains, focusing on the growing ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

On the noise and physical realizability of experimental polarimetric images

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010
Optical polarimetric images are usually calculated from a set of intensity images recorded with different states of polarization of light [1] . Be cause these latter states are setup dependent, propagation of experimental noise to polarimetric images ...

Explanation strategies in humans versus current explainable artificial intelligence: Insights from image classification

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Explainable AI (XAI) methods provide explanations of AI models, but our understanding of how they compare with human explanations remains limited. Here, we examined human participants' attention strategies when classifying images and when explaining how they classified the images through eye‐tracking and compared their attention strategies ...

Polarization Optics to Differentiate Among Bioaerosols for Lidar Applications

Photonics
Polarization optics, which characterize the orientation of the electromagnetic field through Stokes vectors formalism, have been effectively used in lidar remote sensing to detect particles that differ in shape, such as mineral dust or pollen.

Droughts and human impact in the ancient Uaymil region of the Maya lowlands inferred from a 2800‐year sedimentary archive at Lake Kaná, Mexico

Boreas, EarlyView.
The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.
