One #random occurrence about the #tension between the US and Canada that has popped up locally...

There are (and have been for a few months) billboards around my city announcing United Airlines' new direct flights between #Regina (#YQR) and #Denver (#DEN). The billboards announce that flights start May 15. This has almost certainly been in the planning stages for at least a year; it takes time to negotiate with #airport authorities, obtain clearance from a foreign government, figure out how to schedule planes and crews and ground services without screwing up any existing routes, and on and on.

This is a big deal for my city; it's a small city, with lousy connectivity to, well, everywhere. You pretty much have to connect to #flights in Calgary or other bigger cities to get anywhere by #plane from here. Direct flights from Regina to USA destinations come and go over time as airlines try it, abandon it, rinse and repeat with a different airline.

And in the last couple of months, because of Orange Donny's decision to light #Canadian goodwill for the #USA on fire while dancing naked in the glow [1], air travel numbers from #Canada to the USA are down ... 70% from a year ago, at last report.

I don't think there is any air route which can be operated #profitably at 30% #occupancy.

I'm guessing those direct flights are not going to stick around long this time, either.

[1] I probably should have bought stock in a brain #bleach company before saying this.

#UnitedAir

The analysis found that a 16% decrease in staffed #hospital beds, rather than more hospitalizations, resulted in the higher hospital #occupancy rates. #SoundTheAlarm https://buff.ly/4hK4Ixr

Отказоустойчивость омниканальной коммуникационной платформы для контакт-центра

Для обеспечения бесперебойной работы необходимо реализовать механизмы сохранения разговоров при недоступности серверов и/или их перезапуске, т.е. обеспечивать отказоустойчивость системы. Это позволит обеспечить непрерывность коммуникации между пользователями. В данной статье рассмотрены кейсы, которые помогают решить проблему сохранения разговоров при недоступности и перезапуске сервисов на платформе Эра. Платформа Эра - это новая информационно-коммуникационная платформа, на базе которой можно строить распределенные IP-АТС, омниканальные контакт-центры, а также любые другие корпоративные системы для обработки информационных и коммуникационных процессов. Часть кейсов (аварийное сохранение разговоров) были доступны с первых дней существования платформы и входят сегодня в версию «Бизнес», другая же часть - полноценное восстановление разговоров, включая голосовые меню и очереди ожидания, стала возможной в декабре прошлого года и входит в версию «Корпорация». Итак, представим разговор двух абонентов, подключенных по протоколу SIP к платформе Эра. В качестве оконечных устройств могут использоваться IP-телефоны, классические softphone и webphone, подключенные по технологии WebRTC и WebSocket.

Quebec emergency rooms overflowing for the sixth day in a row
Quebec hospital's stretcher occupancy rate exceeded 100 per cent for the sixth day in a row on Thursday. According to data from the Index Santé website, it stood at 128 per cent at around 12:30 p.m. This is the highest level since the start of the holiday season.

Vacant unit tax declarations now open with new exemptions
The City of Ottawa has opened the portal to allow residents to declare the occupancy status of their properties under the vacant unit tax (VUT).

I don't want to #pay an #electricity company for #smartmeter #bullying #mail to #customers. They're even allowed to charge more for #power if you don't get one. That shouldn't be #legal as we all have a regular #meter. I'd only recommend one for #HMOs #houses of multiple #occupancy. "It turns the mystery of units
into something that we can actually look at as #currency". There's no mystery, that's spin. A #calculator has zero disadvantges & does the same. As does a usage-plug. #smartmeters

Here’s another one for your holiday #gamedev reading list 🎁

Have you ever wondered what ‘occupancy’ means? Or how to identify occupancy-limited workloads?

Our new post gives an overview of #occupancy, how to measure it with tools, and ways to improve it.

New paper on two-scale dynamic #occupancy modelling for #predator-prey systems in #JABES https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13253-023-00533-6 With former PhD student Eivind Kleiven, many colleagues from U Tromsø and @oaggimenez Useful for the many systems where the predator roams on a larger domain than that of its prey, or when the study design is hierarchical, or both. Inspired by and applied to a mustelid-vole camera trap dataset from the Norwegian tundra (part of a larger #monitoring program https://coat.no/).

#Apple has a new #HomePod, but I feel like the missed out on an opportunity to provide more value for the price. Temp and humidity sensors are nice, but if they really wanted to impress me they would have used that fancy audio tech inside to give me a built in #occupancy sensor.

The relationship between #bed #occupancy and #mortality is a complex one. In addition to the occupancy of beds, it is important to consider other factors such as #patient transfers in the individual #hospitals

#Introduction -

I am a #ecologist, passionate about natural history. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Rio de Janeiro State University 🇧🇷 .

I have been working mainly with #amphibians and #reptiles and I am researching which environmental factors could influence the #occupancy and #detectability of species. I also help with ecology projects involving #mammals.

I really love #fieldwork!

I am interested in topics such as #climatechange, #spatialecology, and #wildlifeconservation.

I have a variety of #tutorials posted on my website (https://peter-stewart.github.io/posts/) on a variety of topics, including a series on classic ecological #models in #Stan and #RStats, an #occupancy model which handles spatial autocorrelation using a #GaussianProcess, and a variety of useful Windows batch files for dealing with #CameraTrap images.

Here is a quick #thread 🧵 with links to the individual posts:
