Camera trap surveys of Atlantic Forest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004-2020).

Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land-cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot, especially for medium to large-sized species.

Quantum bits with polyacetylene.

The dynamics of a polyacetylene single chain as a system for possible physical implementations of quantum bits is determined. This novel proposition is studied by varying intensity and duration of application of an electric field as well as the intensity, number, and position in the polymer chain of impurity molecules. The behavior of soliton pairs, whose associated energy levels form the quantum bit, is analyzed.
