Differential effects of anthropogenic noise and vegetation cover on the breeding phenology and success of two urban passerines

The urban environment is associated with a multitude of challenges and stressors for populations of wild species from the surrounding natural environment.Among those, habitat fragmentation and noise pollution are suspected to have negative Weight Plate Pin effects on the behavior and physiology of free-living birds in urban areas.Exposure in early

Multimodal and Multitemporal Land Use/Land Cover Semantic Segmentation on Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 Imagery: An Application on a MultiSenGE Dataset

In the context of axe handle global change, up-to-date land use land cover (LULC) maps is a major challenge to assess pressures on natural areas.These maps also allow us to assess the evolution of land cover and to quantify changes over time (such as urban sprawl), which is essential for having a precise understanding of a given territory.Few studi

Spatiotemporal Torquing of Light

We demonstrate the controlled spatiotemporal transfer of transverse orbital angular momentum (OAM) to electromagnetic waves: the spatiotemporal torquing of light.This is a radically different situation from OAM transfer to longitudinal, spatially defined OAM light by stationary or slowly varying refractive-index structures such as phase plates or a
