Functional agrobiodievrsity - a novel approach to optimize pest control in fruit production [PDF]
, 2017 Functional agrobiodiversity was implemented in organic apple orchards in Denmark, by perennial flower strips. Two techniques were tested with the purpose of enhancing natural enemies and reducing damage of the rosy apple ...

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary This study draws on the behavioral theory of the firm and a duality perspective to investigate the impact of founders' focus on academic goals on the financial performance of academic spin‐offs (ASOs)—a specific type of hybrid venture. We theorize that such relationship follows an inverse U‐shaped curve and is moderated by the

Formal Approach to Safety‐Driven Dynamic Procedure Modeling
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ensuring the safety of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) is a growing concern as the number of UAS grows increasingly fast. Regulatory bodies are in the process of tackling this problem by issuing standards and recommendations to be met by UAS designers.
