Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Wavefront sensing at a high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron laser

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a fast, robust and sensor‐free approach to X‐ray speckle tracking that enables shot‐to‐shot wavefront characterization at high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron lasers. Our measurements reveal a hierarchy of wavefront fluctuations indicative of instabilities in the accelerator and beamline optics at the European XFEL.Wavefront ...

Rural Health at a Crossroads: How Policymakers Have Failed Rural America and What Can Be Done for a Healthier Tomorrow

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points Rural communities have more limited access to medical care and worse health outcomes. Existing federal and state policies largely fall short in addressing rural access disparities. Rural health woes require increased government funding for providers and the embrace of alternative health delivery mechanisms, as well as expanded public ...

Syphilis and ‘Sons of Empire’: The ‘Prostitute’ and Britain's Fighting Arm in Nineteenth ̵ Century Colonial Punjab

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The British army in India took great care to provide European troops with facilities for sexual relations while anxiously managing venereal disease. Examining archival evidence, political debates and medical discourse from the nineteenth century, this article examines the colonial military enterprise of regulated prostitution in colonial ...

Engineering Apprenticeships: Youth Transitions, Industrial Capital and the Role of Working‐Class Households

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using biographical methods, the study explores the lives of 34 young people undertaking engineering apprenticeships in Teesside, Northeast England. It examines why working‐class youth in a deindustrialised region might be attracted to engineering, how they might secure apprenticeship, and the invaluable role households play in orchestrating ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.
