The Chagos archipelago in the British Intakes Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) has been lacking in detailed genetic studies of its chondrichthyan populations.Chondrichthyes in Chagos continue to be endangered through illegal fishing operations, necessitating species distribution and abundance studies to facilitate urgent monitoring and conservation of
Processing data that originates from uneven, multi-phase batches is a challenge in data-driven modeling.Training predictive and monitoring models requires the data to be in the right shape to be informative.Only then can a model learn meaningful features that describe the deterministic variability of the process.The presence of multiple phases in t
Our objective is to describe associations between media usage and multiple wellbeing indicators in a nationally representative sample of Canadian youth (CSTADS 2012–13) enrolled in grades 7 to 12 (N = 41,057).Youth reported media usage (television/movie viewing, videogame playing, and surfing the internet), wellbeing (academic achievement, sc
Resource selection is a key component in understanding the ecological processes underlying population dynamics, particularly for species such as northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), which are declining across their range in North America.There is a growing body of literature quantifying breeding season resource selection in bobwhite; however, w
This paper proposes a 3D vehicle-detection algorithm based on multimodal feature fusion to address the problem of low vehicle-detection accuracy in unmanned system environment awareness.The algorithm matches the coordinate relationships between the two sensors and reduces sampling errors by combining the millimeter-wave radar and camera calibration
