No thanks: How an ideology of sharing, not reciprocating, ensures abundance in the forests of south‐eastern Cameroon by Simon Hoyte, Felix Mangombe

“…But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown to reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other and their environment through egalitarian social structures. Investigations of human–nature reciprocity in Central African hunter‐gatherers has been neglected. …”

Effect of Air Duct Layout on the Airflow in Data Center Using Under-floor Air Distribution (2) Experimental Verification by 胡雨, 耿云, 张忠斌, 张萌, 姚喻晨, 黄虎, 黄毅, 蒋赟昱

“…Based on the simulation described in Part I, the optimal model, including six groups of duct structures, is verified. The odd-numbered sub-modules of the data center were taken as the measured objects, changing the perforation rate of the floor, and the angle of the baffle, to obtain the six groups of reasonable airflow patterns. …”

Towards zero-shot learning in 3D change detection: improving generalization with custom augmentations and evaluation by Riccardo Contu, Valerio Marsocci, Virginia Coletta, Roberta Ravanelli, Simone Scardapane

“…We hence propose a new set of custom augmentations, applied individually or in specific combinations, to discern intricate geometries small structures and subtle terrain changes. Furthermore, to address conventional evaluation metrics' limitations we introduce the true positive RMSE (tpRMSE) metric which provides a more comprehensive understanding of MTBIT efficacy. …”

Pollinator Sharing in Specialized Bee Pollination Systems: a Test with the Synchronopatric Lip Flowers of Centrosema Benth (Fabaceae) by Mauro Ramalho, Maise Silva, Gilson Carvalho

“…These same relationships were not significant (P > 0.01), however, for C. brasilianum flowers. The structures of the two pollination systems also sustained the hypothesis of a size threshold for pollinators, although only the C. pubescens-bees interactions sustained the hypothesis of random interactions proportional to species abundances in the habitat. …”
