Range expansion of a declining forest species, the Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus), into semi-arid woodland by Sultaire, SM, Montgomery, RA, Jackson, PJ, Millspaugh, JJ

“…Occupancy modeling revealed that western gray squirrels were equally likely to occur in piñon–juniper woodland compared to mature pine forest that they occupy elsewhere in their range. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”

On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…Notably, the expressivity of QELMs is fundamentally limited by the number of Fourier frequencies and the number of observables, while the complexity of the prediction hinges on the reservoir. As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. …”
