Exploring New Chemical Paths in Quantum AI: Preliminary Accomplishments and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
Two new strategies derived from Chemical AI to promote the advancement of sustainable quantum technologies are presented and discussed. The first strategy relies on the chemical implementation of molecular fuzzy sets, which are quantum mixed states associated with chemical microheterogeneous systems. The second strategy relies on photochromic compounds

Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Exploring Farmers' Intentions to Mitigate Climate Change Through the Lens of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major challenge requiring farmers to adopt sustainable practices. As climate policies often depend on voluntary action, understanding what motivates farmers is essential. This study applies the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) to assess key factors influencing Hungarian farmers' intentions to mitigate climate change ...
