Quantifying Migratory Bat Movements in Central Europe Across Seasons and Years Using a Vertical‐Looking Radar

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Vertical‐looking radar provides a first multi‐year analysis of migratory bat phenology in Europe. Bat activity was lowest in winter, increased from spring, and peaked in summer, with similar timing of pre‐ and post‐maternity migrations across years.

Directive Antenna Clutter Loss in Slant Paths

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the development of a clutter loss model specifically for slant paths involving directive antennas. Conventionally, clutter loss is characterized by using isotropic antennas to facilitate standard link budget calculations via single antenna gain values.

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...

Vibrational Exfoliation of 2D Materials

Small, EarlyView.
Vibrational energy folds, fractures and exfoliates atomically and molecularly thin materials. Combining experimentation and computational methods, this unique vibrational synthesis pathway is revealed. This process overcomes barriers of existing approaches by processing 1000 g/L dispersions without loss in yield.

Accurate Sizing and Resolution of Nominal 200 nm Diameter Polystyrene Nanospheres With Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry

Small, EarlyView.
This study highlights the utility of charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) as a high‐throughput nanoparticle characterization tool. CDMS measurements of 200 nm polystyrene size standards are within 1% of those derived from transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Notably, a mixture of three ∼200 nm samples is readily resolved by CDMS but not by TEM,

Linguistic Variation across Instructional Segments in International Teaching Assistants' Discourse: A Corpus‐Based Analysis

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates internal linguistic variation in the instructional discourse of international teaching assistants (ITAs) by segmenting their mini‐lecture performances into four discourse types: introduction, lecture, conclusion, and audience interaction.

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...

Investigating Dynamic Characteristics of Cavitation in Insulating Oil Microgaps Under Vibration: Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Observation

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The internal pressure fluctuations caused by vibration in oil‐immersed electrical equipment can initiate bubbles within narrow oil gaps, reducing the electrical strength of equipment and giving rise to the problem of abnormal gas production in oil‐immersed equipment.

X‐ray fluorescence microscopy exposure estimates using a single excitation energy

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We present calculations on the number of illuminating photons per pixel required for elemental detection using X‐ray fluorescence, even with far‐from‐threshold excitation.Scanning fluorescence X‐ray microscopy is widely used for quantitative mapping of elemental concentrations, including in studies of essential but low‐concentration metals in cells ...

Wind, waves, wing loading and the flight energetics of giant petrels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wind is a major factor driving seabird movement and energetics, the effects of which are modulated by morphology. Developments in tagging technology now make it possible to test predictions from aerodynamic theory about the effects of wind on flight performance in free ...
