ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

ABSTRACT Most high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) tailored for contaminant degradation suffer from complex fabrication processes and high‐cost alloy design. Furthermore, low‐cost active elements such as Fe and Mg cannot be readily alloyed into HEAs via conventional routes.

A link between increased temperature and avian body condition in a logged tropical forest
Abstract The combined effects of anthropogenic disturbances, such as logging and climate change, remain poorly understood; yet, they are the main threats to tropical biodiversity. Most tropical African countries lack long‐term climate data, so climate impacts on biodiversity cannot be assessed.

ABSTRACT Developing multifunctional luminescent materials with tunable spectra is crucial for plant lighting and information–security applications. To address the critical requirement of plant photosynthesis for blue and red spectral components, a novel lead‐free double perovskite Cs2NaGdCl6: Sb3+, Pr3+ phosphor was designed and synthesized via a ...

Attainment Pairing Effects on Cognitive Conflict in Technology‐enhanced EFL Cooperative Tasks
ABSTRACT This study examines how attainment pairing (high‐high versus high‐low versus low‐low attainment) impacts English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learner engagement during technology‐enhanced cooperative writing tasks. Seventy‐eight Chinese university learners formed 39 dyads (13 pairs per group) via Tencent Meeting.
