Scalogram habitat measures as predictors of bird abundance

Ecography, EarlyView.
Birds select habitat characteristics, such as variability in habitat structure, across multiple spatial scales (grain and extent). Measuring habitat variability at multiple scales can better capture factors that influence avifauna communities than focusing on one scale only. One valuable tool in assessing habitat heterogeneity is the cumulative dynamic

The geography of connectivity shapes plant endemism hotspots

Ecography, EarlyView.
The high biodiversity in mountains is attributed to species accumulation from dispersal, high habitat heterogeneity and local speciation. Landscape connectivity thereby influences colonization and speciation processes, making its net effect on biodiversity challenging to understand.

Dual Graph‐Based Bayesian Network Modeling With Rao‐Blackwellization for Seismic Reliability and Complexity Quantification of Network Connectivity

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern societies depend on various lifeline networks such as transportation, electricity, and gas distribution systems, which are vulnerable to seismic events. Although numerous analytical and simulation‐based methods have been developed for efficient seismic system reliability analysis (SRA), dealing with high‐dimensional events arising from ...

Description and Convergence Order Analysis of the Finite Element‐Volume Spatial Discretization Method

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This article presents the principles of Finite Element‐Volume discretization and conducts an analysis of its properties and convergence orders. The discretization ensures local mass conservation, second‐order convergence for velocity, and first‐order convergence for pressure.

Perspective Projection of an Ellipse and an Ellipsoid for Analytical View Factor Evaluation

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiative view factors are fundamental quantities for evaluating radiative heat transfer between different surfaces. While analytical expressions of view factors have been evaluated for various types of basic geometries, including circular disks and spheres, extending these solutions to more complex geometries, such as ellipses and ellipsoids ...

High quality large‐scale nickel‐rich layered oxides precursor co‐precipitation via domain adaptation‐based machine learning

InfoMat, EarlyView.
This work pioneers an AI‐driven defect prediction system and optimized scheduling to enhance the stability of nickel‐rich layered oxide precursors, enabling large‐scale production. With an 83% capacity retention after 500 cycles and exceptional sphericity, it sets a new benchmark for the stable, high‐yield synthesis of advanced lithium‐ion battery ...

Palynological Characterization and Taxonomic Delimitation of the Genus Impatiens L. in Pakistan: An LM and SEM Study

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
The study identifies significant variations in features such as Muri and Lumina, as well as Exine thickness and Colpi length, which are critical for taxonomic delimitation within the genus. ABSTRACT Impatiens L. is a taxonomically complicated genus of flowering plants that entails extensive morphological studies to demarcate its taxa.

Yield stability of water yam (Dioscorea alata L) landraces compared to improved varieties across multiple environments and their culinary qualities in the Republic of Benin

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the Republic of Benin, the fresh yam market has two key periods: a time of high availability from August to February, followed by a scarcity from March to July. Fortunately, when Dioscorea rotundata fresh tubers become scarce and expensive, Dioscorea alata (commonly known as Agaabidjan/ Florido) pervades the market and provides a

Perception of variety in forests in relation to reducing polygon count : Exploring human perception in computer graphics and computer graphics education

, 2023
By taking human perception into account in computer graphics, time and processing power may be utilised more efficiently when modelling and rendering scenes. Exploring possibilities for reducing the complexity of forest scenes is particularly interesting because of the geometric complexity of trees, the effects of which are compounded by dense, large ...
