Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms
Darras, Kevin F. A.; Rountree, Rodney A.; Van Wilgenburg, Steven L.; Cord, Anna F.; Pitz, Frederik; Chen, Youfang; Dong, Lijun; Rocquencourt, AgnèsAim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. ...
Gender Identity Laws: The legal status of global sex/gender identity recognition
Ryan, JohnOfficial identity is a powerful thing. More than just feelings, diagnosis, or behaviors, official identity marks the status by which one can gain, or lose, access to certain social rights, responsibilities, and privileges. It can be predicated on biology or on the “determination” of other social identities. And it can serve as the means by which other identities can be determined. The ability to alter one’s off...
Spherical Pi-type operators in Clifford analysis and applications
Cheng, Wanqing; Ryan, John; Kähler, UweThe Pi-operator (Ahlfors–Beurling transform) plays an important role in solving the Beltrami equation. In this paper we define two Pi-operators on the n-sphere. The first spherical Pi-operator is shown to be an L_2 isometry up to isomorphism. To improve this, with the help of the spectrum of the spherical Dirac operator, the second spherical Pi-operator is constructed as an isometric L_2-operator over the spher...
