'Josip Kusak' 'Çağan H. Şekercioğlu' 'Karolina Goździewska-Harłajczuk'] Occupancy and N-mixture analyses have been successfully used to understand habitat use in various species. However, since these methods fundamentally answer different questions about wildlife distribution, the results from each modelling approach…

'Ethan P. White'] We show that occupancy models are more difficult to fit than is generally appreciated because the estimating equations often have multiple solutions, including boundary estimates which produce fitted probabilities of zero or one. The estimates are unstable when the data are sparse, making them…

'James A. McGrath' 'Miriam A. Byrne' "James O'Donnell"] The occupancy profile dataset presented in this study leverages publicly available UK Time Use Survey (TUS) 2014-15 data to evaluate the impact of occupancy on energy consumption at various spatial and temporal scales using multi-scale archetypes. Constructing…

1. Accurate estimates of wildlife distributions and population persistence are essential for conservation programs. Occupancy models that account for detection probability have been used to characterize the occupancy and habitat selection of imperilled species. However, failure to distinguish between true-presence and…

Buildings account for a significant share of global energy consumption and emissions, making it critical to operate them efficiently. As electricity grids become more volatile with increasing renewable penetration, buildings must provide flexibility to support grid stability. Building automation plays a key role in…

Gridded population datasets represent high-resolution distributions of human occupancy, enabling informed decision-making across a broad range of fields. These data products are valuable for assessing environmental risk, urban development, disaster preparedness and resource allocation-areas where accurate population…

Markov Regime Authors: ['Amir-Mohammad Esmaieeli-Sikaroudi' 'Boris Goikhman' 'D. N. Chubarov' 'Hung D. Nguyen' 'Michael Chertkov' 'Petr Vorobev'] Abstract—Energy efficiency of buildings is considered to be one of the major means of achieving the net-zero carbon goal around the world. The big part of the energy savings…

As an individual moves through its life cycle, it passes through a series of states (age classes, size classes, reproductive states, spatial locations, health statuses, etc.) before its eventual death. The occupancy time in a state is the time spent in that state over the individual’s life. Depending on the life cycle…

Occupancy models have been extended to account for either multiple spatial scales or species interactions in a dynamic setting. However, as interacting species (e.g., predators and prey) often operate at different spatial scales, including nested spatial structure might be especially relevant to models of interacting…

Historical museum records provide potentially useful data for identifying drivers of change in species occupancy. However, because museum records are typically obtained via many collection methods, methodological developments are needed in order to enable robust inferences. Occupancy-detection models, a relatively new…

Species tolerating the same environmental conditions can potentially colonize and thrive in the same habitats and eco-regions. Are any pair of those species equally probable to co-occur in the same community? Can we quantify the propensity of two species to co-occur together? Here, we focus on a simple but largely…

Occupancy models involve both the probability a site is occupied and the probability occupancy is detected. The homogeneous occupancy model, where the occupancy and detection probabilities are the same at each site, admits an orthogonal parameter transformation that yields a two-stage process to calculate the maximum…

'Thomas Niesler'] We present a new machine learning based bed-occupancy detection system that uses the accelerometer signal captured by a bed-attached consumer smartphone. Automatic bed-occupancy detection is necessary for automatic long-term cough monitoring, since the time which the monitored patient occupies the bed…

Interspecific interactions, such as predation, competition, and mutualism, are fundamental to the structure and function of any biotic community. Understanding these interactions provides valuable insights into community dynamics and informs conservation efforts. One common approach to studying these interactions is…

Multidimensional analysis of traits are now a common toolkit in ecology and evolution and are based on trait-spaces in which each dimension summarise the observed trait combination (a morphospace or an ecospace). Observations of interest will typically occupy a subset of this trait-space, and researchers will apply one…

In North America and around the globe, there has been emerging recognition of the size and scope of urban shrinkage, yet little is understood about how decline impacts commercial centers and downtowns. In order to facilitate geographically targeted policymaking, this paper examines the physical patterns of downtown…

The widespread diffusion of electric mobility requires a contextual expansion of the charging infrastructure. An extended collection and processing of information regarding charging of electric vehicles may turn each electric vehicle charging station into a valuable source of streaming data. Charging point operators…

Despite of the prevalence of first-row transition metal containing compounds in virtually all areas of chemistry, the accurate modeling of these systems is a known challenge for the theoretical chemistry community. Such a challenge is shown in a myriad of facets, among them: difficulties in defining ground states…

Transient species, which do not maintain self-sustaining populations in a system where they are observed, are ubiquitous in nature and their presence often impacts the interpretation of ecological patterns and processes. Identifying transient species from temporal occupancy, the proportion of time a species is observed…

DELFIN is a fully automated workflow that determines preferred spin states and computes corresponding ground-state redox potentials. It covers up to three sequential reduction and oxidation steps and, for closed-shell species, further provides excited-state redox potentials and E00 energies. Starting from 2D structures…

'Lena Tarhuni' 'Nour Adel Zaki Abdel-Motaal'] There has been significant literature regarding the way product review sentiment affects brand loyalty. Intrigued by how natural language influences consumer choice, we were motivated to examine whether an AirBnB host's occupancy rate (how often their listing is booked out…

A central goal of community ecology is to infer biotic interactions from observed distributions of co-occurring species. Evidence for biotic interactions, however, can be obscured by shared environmental requirements, posing a challenge for statistical inference. Here we introduce a dynamic statistical model that…

Accurate prediction of the sensitivity properties of high-energy materials (HEMs) and the study of their decomposition mechanisms are two major focuses within energetics research. Due to the hazards associated with the synthesis and handling of energetic materials, predictive models for HEM sensitivity are of great…

Chemical libraries and compound data sets are among the main inputs to start the drug discovery process at universities, research institutes, and the pharmaceutical industry. The approach used in the design of compound libraries, the chemical information they possess, and the representation of structures, play a…
