Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Long‐term outcome of a non‐reducible congenital atlanto‐occipital subluxation in a warmblood foal

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary An 11‐day‐old warmblood colt was referred to the Large Animal Teaching Hospital, University of Copenhagen, for further investigation of a stiff neck and lateral deviation of the poll, with suspicion of a congenital cervical vertebral abnormality.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Nursing Student Perspectives and Curricular Insights on Health Equity Content: Findings From a Mixed Methods Study

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims (1) Explore prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions about applying any health equity knowledge gained in school for their future nursing practice. (2) Evaluate whether student perspectives of health equity learning in their programs align with explicit health equity content within curricular documents.

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
