Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Spectral Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function Simplification
Non-diffuse materials (e.g., metallic inks, varnishes, and paints) are widely used in real-world applications. Accurate spectral rendering relies on the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF).

Impact of pandemic fatigue on the spread of COVID-19: a mathematical modelling study [PDF]
In late-2020, many countries around the world faced another surge in number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, including United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, United States, etc., which resulted in a large nationwide and even worldwide wave. While there have been indications that precaution fatigue could be a key factor, no scientific evidence has been provided

VigiFlood: evaluating the impact of a change of perspective on flood vigilance [PDF]
Emergency managers receive communication training about the importance of being 'first, right and credible', and taking into account the psychology of their audience and their particular reasoning under stress and risk.
