Modeling Skin Mark Temporal Variations to Estimate the Sex of Delphinids with Low Sexual Dimorphism: Implications for Management and Conservation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Does AI Affect the Democratic Conduct of War? Analyzing US and Israeli Military AI Deployment

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the use of decision‐support military Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can affect the democratic conduct of warfare. AI can challenge the democratic conduct of warfare by introducing systemic risks such as reduced oversight, opacity, and automation bias.

Artificial Gravity in Mars Orbit for Crew Acclimation [PDF]

open access: yes
NASAs current baseline plan for a crewed Mars mission anticipates a transit time of up to three hundred days in microgravity and 3-14 days on the Martian surface for gravity acclimation before the crew can safely perform their first Extra-Vehicular ...

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

How did Japan catch‐up with the West? Some implications of recent revisions to Japan's historical growth record

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Revised GDP data suggest that Japan was more than one‐third richer in 1874 than suggested by Maddison, and that Meiji period growth built on earlier development. Despite trend GDP per capita growth during the Tokugawa Shogunate, the catching‐up process only started after 1890 with respect to Britain, and after World War I with respect to the ...

Economic trends in Qing China: A response to Rawski's bold claims

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Thomas Rawski challenges recent quantitative studies that find declining Chinese GDP per capita during 1700–1850 and suggests that the error margins around the component series for per capita grain supply should be widened, which would make it possible to accommodate stagnation, growth or decline.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Using continuous visual stimulus tracking for detecting visual function loss due to acquired brain injury

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Acquired brain injury (ABI) may cause homonymous visual field (VF) defects. Standard automated perimetry (SAP) is the gold standard for VF assessment, but it can be challenging in ABI. Continuous visual stimulus tracking (SONDA; Standardised Oculomotor and Neurological Disorders Assessment) simplifies the perimetric task to following a
