Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

INFRASTRUCTURAL CONCEALMENT: Everyday Festival Economies and Riverine Ecologies in Kolkata

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban infrastructures are often celebrated within marketized development logics for their promise of equitable access while concealing ecological harm. This article examines whether and how ecological degradation is integral to infrastructural modernization, showing how infrastructures that promise improvement and inclusion simultaneously ...

PECULIARITIES OF BEHAVIOR OF UNDERGROUND PIPELINES WITH THE STRUCTURAL INCLUSIONS UNDER DYNAMIC ACTIONS

Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2012
The paper considers the dynamic behavior of an underground pipeline with a structural inclusion. It is shown that the seismic action may lead to local fluctuations of the structural inclusion with respect to a stationary pipeline that could be the ...

THE URBANISM OF EXCEPTION: Scalar Rivalry and Political Loyalty in the Making of the Panorama Tbilisi Megaproject

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In flawed democracies, such as the Republic of Georgia, legal exceptions for urban megaprojects are becoming a standard mode of governance. While frequently analyzed as singular, top‐down sovereign acts, I argue that the imposition of such exceptions is a complex and dispersed process.

Forensically significant microbial community responses to aboveground cadaver decomposition in Southeast Texas soils

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract During vertebrate decomposition, a purge of nutrient‐rich fluids enters the surrounding soil producing a localized nutrient hotspot. The composition of microbial communities at the soil surface is known to predictably change in response to this influx of decomposition fluids over time.

Punishment begets punishment: An exploration of racial variation in school‐to‐prison pipeline mechanisms

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract To mitigate the consequences of school punishment, we must move from documenting the school‐to‐prison pipeline (STPP) toward understanding how punishment increases criminal legal system involvement. Beyond impacting academic performance, punishment may encourage disengagement from school, teachers, and peers; delinquency; and secondary ...

Collaborative Innovation and R&D Disclosures: Evidence From Co‐Patents Innovation collaborative et communication d'informations sur la R et D : données relatives à la copropriété de brevets

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As firms increasingly rely on collaborative innovation to develop new technologies, they face a growing tension between signaling their technological capabilities and protecting sensitive information. This tension is especially important in co‐patenting settings, where firms jointly develop innovations and operate in a more interconnected ...

The law of AI knowledge distillation

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge distillation—the practice of training a compact student model on the outputs of a larger teacher model—has emerged as the fastest‐growing technique for replicating and disseminating frontier artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...
