Summary: The study found that Pungitius pungitius has less genetic diversity and higher levels of genetic differentiation and isolation compared to Gasterosteus aculeatus. In contrast, G. aculeatus exhibits stronger genetic parallelism in freshwater populations, with evidence showing selection on ancient haplotypes, while P. pungitius has younger haplotypes involved in freshwater adaptation. The results suggest that population subdivision limits local adaptation and the likelihood of parallel evolution, with connectivity and genetic drift playing crucial roles in determining genetic variation levels and distribution.

Summary: This article discusses the communication complexity of the Hamming distance of two strings and proposes a new protocol based on the representation of LZ77 without self-references. Original complexity analysis is conducted by introducing Crochemore's C-factorization and Rytter's AVL-grammar.

Summary: k-mismatch shortest unique substring (SUS) queries have been proposed in computational biology recently. The challenge lies in finding the SUS for every position of a massively long string in a time- and space-efficient manner. The first parallel approach leveraging GPU technology has been proposed, providing a faster tool for SUS finding and the first practical tool for approximate SUS computation.

Summary: This paper explores the stiffness requirements for bracing components in systems of parallel compression members or sub-assemblages. The formulation is based on an equilibrium analysis of a single arbitrary column within a braced n-member system, resulting in a system of brace stiffness equations. Approximations are developed to estimate system bracing requirements, which are shown to be sufficient for systems with multiple parallel members.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel check-node (CN) decoding algorithm called Hamming-distance trellis min-max (H-TMM) to reduce complexity in non-binary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes. A high-performance H-TMM-based NB-LDPC decoder architecture is presented, utilizing the proposed algorithm and the number appearances of reliable values. Experimental results show that the proposed decoder achieves high throughput with fewer hardware resources and maintains competitive error-correcting performance compared to state-of-the-art works.

Summary: Conservation of wildlife requires precise and unbiased knowledge on species abundance and distribution. However, choosing appropriate methods for obtaining accurate data is challenging, especially in remote regions like the Arctic. In this study, we compared the use of a quadcopter survey to traditional ground and helicopter surveys to assess its efficiency as an alternative technology. The results showed that the quadcopter survey underestimated the abundance of Svalbard reindeer compared to traditional surveys. Future studies should explore long-range fixed-wing UAVs and improve post-processing techniques to increase sample size and coverage, as well as account for uncertainties.

Summary: In this paper, we propose a method for compressing LiDAR point clouds by using the Hamming distance between octree nodes as a criterion for motion estimation. Experimental results show that our method achieves an average bitrate savings of 3.5% and a 92.5% increase in encoding speed in lossless geometric coding compared to existing methods.

Summary: The subpopulation of Central Sabah, which is a geographically isolated and genetically distinct group of Asian elephants, has been surveyed in 2015 using advanced methods. The estimated population size and density were much lower than the previous estimate in 2008. There were no identifiable causes for the population decline, suggesting methodological and analytical flaws in the previous estimate.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel adjustable reversible data hiding method for AMBTC-compressed codes using Hamming distance. The proposed scheme generates a candidate list based on calculating the frequency of decimal numbers to find the peak bitmap, allowing for replacement of original bitmaps. Experimental results show that the scheme achieves high image quality and adaptable information hiding capacity through threshold adjustment.
