Invariance Properties and Measurement of Correlation Between Two Propagating or Evanescent Waves

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work analyses the strength of correlation between two propagating or evanescent plane waves generally expressed in different frames. Interferometric and nanoscattering‐based methods, respectively, are demonstrated for their measurement. The results show that the applied measure of correlation remains invariant under unitary polarization ...

Fiber level for laying hens during the growing phase

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2014
Feeding management of laying hens has been focused on the direct influence of nutrient intake on weight gain, especially at growing phase. This study evaluates nutrient digestibility, performance, development of the digestive tract, body composition, and

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Evaluating and Sampling Glinty NDFs in Constant Time

ACM Transactions on Graphics
Geometric features between the micro and macro scales produce an expressive family of visual effects grouped under the term "glints". Efficiently rendering these effects amounts to finding the highlights caused by the geometry under each pixel.

Boosted unsupervised feature selection for tumor gene expression profiles

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract In an unsupervised scenario, it is challenging but essential to eliminate noise and redundant features for tumour gene expression profiles. However, the current unsupervised feature selection methods treat all samples equally, which tend to learn discriminative features from simple samples.

Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco‐evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors.

“Alien versus predator”: predatory effect of coccinellid Exochomus quadripustulatus on the scale insect Toumeyella parvicornis. An open‐field experimentation on the Pinus pinea of Rome

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The release of gravid Exochomus quadripustulatus females proved to be effective in containing Toumeyella parvicornis infestations on stone pine trees, under open‐field condition. The ladybugs caused a lower infestation level compared to the trees that did not receive any ladybugs during the observation season.

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...

Microfacet BSDFs Generated from NDFs and Explicit Microgeometry

ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2019
Microfacet distributions are considered nowadays as a reference for physically plausible BSDF representations. Many authors have focused on their physical and mathematical correctness, while introducing means to enlarge the range of possible appearances.
