Identifying Groups Using Animal Patterns: A Quantitative Comparison of Feature Extraction Methods

Many animal species have unique patterns on their body that allow for individual identification, and these patterns often have a genetic basis. This individual-level pattern variation can be leveraged in ecological applications in a number of ways, such as facilitating the identi...

From linguistic outsiderhood to inclusive practice: critical experiential learning in multilingual teacher education

International debates about inclusive education increasingly stress the identification and removal of barriers to participation for all learners, yet teacher education often treats multilingualism as a specialist language issue rather than as a core dimension of inclusion. This q...

Oxide-Nitride Heteroepitaxy for Low-Loss Dielectrics in Superconducting Quantum Circuits

Abstract Superconducting qubits show great promise for the realization of fault-tolerant quantum computing, but lossy, amorphous dielectrics limit current technology. Identifying highly crystalline and stoichiometric dielectrics with intrinsically low microwave loss is therefore...
