Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

TMSA‐Net: Transformer‐Based Multi‐Scale Attention U‐Net for Flood Image Segmentation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flood detection is essential for real‐time applications, including disaster management, emergency response, and alerting people in flood zones. For successful flood detection, accurate flood region segmentation is essential. However, the flood region segmentation is challenging due to the complex background and occlusions with debris and the ...

Optimization of Wind‐PV Co‐Generation Systems Using Artificial Bee Colony and Back‐to‐Back Voltage Source Converter

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract depicts the proposed Artificial Bee Colony algorithm‐based optimal tuning of PI controllers for back‐to‐back Voltage Source Converters in a hybrid wind–PV system. ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid model‐based back‐to‐back voltage‐source converter (B2B‐VSC) system comprising a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Permanent Magnet ...

Prey group cohesion mediates the outcome of predator–prey interactions under artificial lighting

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highest rates of piscivorous predation in the field have been recorded during crepuscular light levels associated with sunrise and sunset or artificial lighting at night (ALAN).

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

Sleep characteristics and self‐reported sleep quality in the oldest‐old: Results from a prospective longitudinal cohort study

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Little is known about the correlation between subjective perception and objective measures of sleep quality in particular in the oldest‐old. The aim of this study was to perform longitudinal home sleep monitoring in this age group, and to correlate results with self‐reported sleep quality.
