Resource selection functions are among the most commonly used statistical tools in both basic and applied animal ecology. They are typically parameterized using animal tracking data, and advances in animal tracking technology have led to increasing levels of autocorrelation between locations in such data sets. Because…

In the Web of Things (WoT) context, an increasing number of stationary and mobile objects provide functions as RESTful services, also called resources, that can be combined with other existing Web resources, to create value-added processes. However, nowadays resource discovery and selection are challenging, due to (1)…

Quantifying home range size and habitat resource selection are important elements in wildlife ecology and are useful for informing conservation action. Many home range estimators and resource selection functions are currently in use. However, both methods are fraught with analytical issues inherent within…

'Wilson Sairowua' 'Kate Tiedeman' 'Sospeter Kiambi' 'Patrick Omondi' 'Iain Douglas-Hamilton' 'George Wittemyer'] Understanding drivers of space use by African elephants is critical to their conservation and management, particularly given their large home-ranges, extensive resource requirements, ecological role as…

—This paper presents a distributed resource selection mechanism for diverse cloud-edge environments, enabling dynamic and context-aware allocation of resources to meet the demands of complex distributed applications. By distributing the decision-making process, our approach ensures efficiency, scalability, and…

Resource selection functions are commonly employed to evaluate animals’ habitat selection, e.g. the disproportionate use of habitats relative to their availability. While environmental conditions or animal motivations may vary over time, sometimes in an unknown manner, studying changes in habitat selection usually…

Pathological processes are often conceptualized as localized phenomena anchored in a primary tumor, a focal lesion, or a single organ. However, growing evidence indicates that many diseases persist and progress as complex distributed systems, maintained by interactions among multiple sites. Building on the emerging…

'Alexander Skopalik'] The strategic selection of resources by selfish agents is a classic research direction, with Resource Selection Games and Congestion Games as prominent examples. In these games, agents select available resources and their utility then depends on the number of agents using the same resources. This…

Genomic selection (GS) is a technique that plant breeders use to select individuals to mate and produce new generations of species. Allocation of resources is a key factor in GS. At each selection cycle, breeders are facing the choice of budget allocation to make crosses and produce the next generation of breeding…

Global change has altered the nature of disturbance regimes, and megafire events are increasingly common. Megafires result in immediate changes to habitat available to terrestrial wildlife over broad landscapes, yet we know surprisingly little about how such changes shape space use of sensitive species in habitat that…

better projects Authors: ['Lovis Heindrich' 'Falk Lieder'] The decisions of individuals and organizations are often suboptimal because normative decision strategies are too demanding in the real world. Recent work suggests that some errors can be prevented by leveraging artificial intelligence to discover and teach…

Mounting an immune response requires a considerable energy investment by the host. This makes expression of immune phenotypes susceptible to changes in availability of resources. There is ample evidence in scientific literature to suggest that hosts become more vulnerable to infection by pathogens and parasites when…

Hermaphroditic plants reproduce as females by maturing seeds from fertilized ovules and as males by fertilizing the ovules of other plants. Sex allocation theory predicts a trade-off between investment in male and female function. Thus, to maximize fitness, selection should favor plasticity in resource allocation among…

The dynamic multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem is a challenging scheduling problem that requires making decisions on both the execution order of activities and their corresponding execution modes. Genetic programming has been widely applied as a hyper-heuristic to evolve priority rules that…

'Joses Muthuri Kirigia'] Background The goal of universal health coverage (UHC) is that every individual has access to high-quality health services without running the consequences of financial hardship. The World health report 2013 "Research for universal health coverage" states a performant National Health Research…

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as a transformative approach to accelerate material discovery. A critical challenge in building predictive ML models is the selection of representative and informative training datasets from large databases. In this study, we present a framework that integrates inducing points and…
