Efficacy of deterrents for mitigating human‐polar bear conflict in northern Alaska by Susanne Miller, Ryan R. Wilson, Lindsey S. Mangipane, Nathan Gordon II, Andrew L. Von Duyke, Carla Sims‐Kayotuk

“…Given the limited information on efficacy of deterrence methods for polar bears, our goal was to use incident records from 2018 to 2019 to quantify polar bear responses to hazing. We also evaluated whether factors such as deterrent type, time of year, social class, body condition, and feeding would affect 1) the probability that a polar bear would move away, and 2) the amount of effort required to move a polar bear. …”

Critical energy distribution and fracture characteristics of heterogeneous rock under splitting condition by Hongguang JI, Zhen FU, Yuezheng ZHANG, Chunrui ZHANG, Dongsheng CHEN

“…Samples with different deformation coordination have different proportions of acoustic emission events at different stress levels, and the more coordinated the deformation, the more stable the growth pattern of acoustic emission events; ③ The splitting and fracturing process of granites with different deformation coordination exhibits self-organized critical characteristics. The energy probability density functions of the entire process and the local stress stages follow power-law distributions, and as the deformation coordination deteriorates, the power-law distribution curve in the local stress stage at the later stage of loading gradually approaches the power-law curve of the entire process; ④ The change patterns of RA - AF values are similar for samples with different deformation coordination, but the samples with poorer deformation coordination have lower tensile strength, larger deformation space variability, more small-scale tensile fractures, rougher fracture surfaces with larger JRC, smaller released energy, and are more likely to enter a critical state, while the opposite is true for rocks with better deformation coordination. …”
