Integrating multiple sign types to improve occupancy estimation for inconspicuous species: a case study of American pika in the Pacific Northwest
… critical for conservation and management. Occupancy models have emerged as one of the most powerful tools to investigate regional population trends and dynamics, range shifts and habitat associations. Standard occupancy models are capable of producing unbiased estimates of occupancy and its …

Building occupancy analytics based on deep learning through the use of environmental sensor data
… is crucial to building energy efficiency. Occupancy information is a vital aspect in this process, as it determines the energy demand. Although there are various sensors used to gather occupancy information, environmental sensors stand out due to their low cost and privacy benefits. Machine …

Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) Based Optimization Of Air Handling Units: A State-Of-The-Art Data-Driven Demand-Controlled Ventilation Strategy
… Such systems, without any consideration of occupancy, may ventilate a zone excessively and result in energy waste. Previous studies showed that CO2-based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) methods are the most widely used strategies to determine the optimal level of supply air volume. …

Distribution, density, and habitat associations of the narrowly endemic coldwater crayfish (faxonius eupunctus) in the Eleven Point River drainage, Arkansas and Missouri, U.S.
North America harbors an exceptionally high number of rare or narrowly distributed crayfishes, and many of these species are threatened with displacement by a variety of biological, chemical, and physical factors. Detailed distributional and ecological data are lacking for many North American …

Towards the ecology and conservation of sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) populations in Southern England
… through exploration of population monitoring and estimation methods.<br/><br/>The detection rate of both male and female lizards in a captive population was found to be heavily dependent on their sex and reproductive stage. The detection probability of males was higher (39%) before mating than …

Improving human movement sensing with micro models and domain knowledge
… identification, presence and motion detection, occupancy estimation, gesture recognition, and breath rate estimation. The first question addressed in this thesis is whether micro or macro models are a better design choice for human sensing systems. Micro models are models exclusively trained …

Ecology, Habitat Use, and Conservation of Asiatic Black Bears in the Min Mountains of Sichuan Province, China
… feeding analysis from scats and sign, and occupancy modeling from sign surveys. I documented the home ranges of an adult female (100% MCP = 107.5km2, n=470 locations) and a sub-adult female (100%MCP = 5.9km2, n=36 locations) Asiatic black bear. I also documented two birthing occasions with …
