A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Distance sampling: comparing walked transects and road transects for rock ptarmigan densities and population trends

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
We compared population trends for rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta densities (2003‒2019) derived from walked transects and driven road transects in Mosfellsheiði and Slétta in southwest and northeast Iceland, respectively. The walked transects were laid out according to a random rule.

Method Based on Edge Constraint and Fast Marching for Road Centerline Extraction from Very High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
In recent decades, road extraction from very high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing images has become popular and has attracted extensive research efforts. However, the very high spatial resolution, complex urban structure, and contextual background effect

Parallel Distributed Compensation /H∞ Control of Lane-keeping System Based on the Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2020
Current research on lane-keeping systems ignores the effect of the driver and external resistance on the accuracy of tracking the lane centerline. To reduce the lateral deviation of the vehicle, a lane-keeping control method based on the fuzzy Takagi ...

Length of the Adult Human Colon in Health and Constipation Measured Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Colon length was measured in adult healthy volunteers, people with chronic constipation, and people with IBS with constipation using MRI. Colon length is significantly longer in chronic constipation. The chronically constipated colon is unable to accommodate longitudinally in response to fluid influx from a macrogol challenge.

Directed Communication in Theta and Alpha Networks Supports Content Handling in Working Memory

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 7, May 2026.
We examined mental rotation and delineated the role of directed communication in theta and alpha band activity in cortical networks. ABSTRACT Executive functions enable flexible control of behavior by dynamically coordinating perception, memory, and action.
