Sidelining Mitigation: Climate Delay Discourses Among Municipal Legislators in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how municipal legislators frame climate mitigation and how these framings shift responsibility, narrow the perceived scope of municipal authority, and reduce the urgency or feasibility of local action. We analyzed 31 interviews with city councilors serving on Permanent Environmental Committees across municipalities in ...

Modeling underwater hearing and sound localization in the frog Xenopus laevis [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Animals that are small compared to sound wavelengths face the challenge of localizing a sound source since the main cues to sound direction—interaural time differences (ITD) and interaural level differences (ILD)—both depend on size. Remarkably, the majority of terrestrial vertebrates possess internally coupled ears (ICE) with an air-filled cavity ...

An Intrinsically Multimodal Self‐Powered Sensor Enhanced by Microstructured Powder Layer for AI‐Enabled Tactile Perception

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a self‐powered, intrinsically multimodal tactile sensor capable of both static and dynamic pressure sensing. Enhanced with a microstructured polytetrafluoroethylene powder layer, it enables high‐accuracy material recognition and surface texture classification, offering AI‐compatible tactile perception for robotic systems.

Antarctic marine mammals and ocean acoustics [PDF]

, 2006
Marine mammals rely on sound and hearing as their primary means of communication and sensing their world. Concerns that anthropogenic sound in the ocean could infer their sensing, cause stress or even damage their hearing physically rose a controversial ...

ORCA-SPOT: An Automatic Killer Whale Sound Detection Toolkit Using Deep Learning [PDF]

, 2019
Large bioacoustic archives of wild animals are an important source to identify reappearing communication patterns, which can then be related to recurring behavioral patterns to advance the current understanding of intra-specific communication of non ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Wireless recording of the calls of Rousettus aegyptiacus and their reproduction using electrostatic transducers [PDF]

, 2008
Bats are capable of imaging their surroundings in great detail using echolocation. To apply similar methods to human engineering systems requires the capability to measure and recreate the signals used, and to understand the processing applied to ...

A zebrafish model for hearing loss and regeneration induced by blast wave

Journal of Bio-X Research, 2019
. Zebrafish have the potential to regrow injured organs and tissues, but their use as a model for hearing regeneration following blast injury has never been reported.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

“Taking Off the Rose‐Colored Glasses”: How Justice‐Centered Science Curricula Engages Prehealth Undergraduates' in Critical Consciousness

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Health disparities rooted in systemic oppression and perpetuated by implicit bias among medical professionals remain pervasive across North America. These inequities are often sustained by providers' limited awareness of social realities that shape the lives of people from marginalized communities.
