Abstract:
... Inter Partes review (IPR) can efficiently invalidate drug patents and potentially convey strategic advantages to follow-on drug makers. However, recent changes in the IPR system foretell a tectonic shift in the landscape. Here we summarize these major changes and discuss the implications for the biopharmaceutical community. ...

Abstract:
... This paper presents a finite volume scheme on structured grids to simulate shallow flows over complex terrain. The situation of shallow downhill flow over a step is particularly challenging for most shallow water schemes. We study this situation in detail and devise a novel second-order reconstruction strategy, which gives superior results over former hydrostatic reconstruction (HR) schemes. The r ...

Abstract:
... Growing evidence for lineage diversification that occurs without strong ecological divergence (i.e., nonadaptive radiation) challenges assumptions about the buildup and maintenance of species in evolutionary radiations, particularly when ecologically similar and thus potentially competing species co-occur. Understanding nonadaptive radiations involves identifying conditions conducive to both the n ...

Abstract:
... Images used to promote Estonia both home and abroad frequently highlight the element of pristine nature, often represented by the mire. Mires have witnessed historical change that can be described from ecological, institutional and perceptional aspects; artistic representations of mires have been transforming as well. The article observes literary representations of mires, based on 80 Estonian wor ...

Abstract:
... Solving inverse problems, performing sensitivity analyses, and achieving statistical rigour in landscape evolution models require running many model realizations. Parallel computation is necessary to achieve this in a reasonable time. However, no previous landscape evolution algorithm is able to leverage modern parallelism. Here, I describe an algorithm that can utilize the parallel potential of G ...

Abstract:
... An effective parallelization algorithm based on the compute-unified-device-architecture (CUDA) is developed for DEM generalization that is critical to multi-scale terrain analysis. It aims to efficiently retrieve the critical points for generating coarser-resolution DEMs which maximally maintain the significant terrain features. CUDA is embedded into a multi-point algorithm to provide a parallel-m ...

Abstract:
... Ecosystems are complex adaptive systems (CAS) by nature, which means that macroscopic patterns and properties emerge from, and feed back to affect, the interactions among adaptive individual ecological agents. These agents then further adapt (genetically) to the outcomes of those interactions. The concept of self-organization has become increasingly important for understanding ecosystem spatial he ...

Abstract:
... This article provides new evidence on how images influence survey responses, using a split-sample choice experiment. Our results suggest that, when respondents are presented with both images and text, they exhibit stronger preferences for attributes with high visual salience than when presented with either images or text alone. Furthermore, respondents are less likely to ignore individual attribut ...

Abstract:
... In this article, we establish an update procedure for rapid positioning coefficients or rational polynomial coefficients (RPCs) via iterative refinements using polynomial augmentation and reference images. RPCs are widely popular in establishing a ground-to-image relationship without using physical sensor model. However, the accuracies of RPCs are degraded due to unavoidable errors in physical sen ...

Abstract:
... In high resolution remote sensing imagery (HRI), the sizes of different geo-objects often vary greatly, posing serious difficulties to their successful segmentation. Although existent segmentation approaches have provided some solutions to this problem, the complexity of HRI may still lead to great challenges for previous methods. In order to further enhance the quality of HRI segmentation, this p ...

Abstract:
... Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are difficult to detect due to their cryptic nature, occurrence at low densities and broad distribution. We compare the relative effectiveness of two common, direct survey techniques used to detect koalas: spotlighting and diurnal searches. Seventy-six 2-ha sites were surveyed using both spotlighting and diurnal searching. Each site was surveyed for 0.5 person-hours ...
