Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Twelve Years Revisited: Translanguaging as Relational Pedagogy for Sustaining Language Learning Motivation

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how foreign language teachers’ beliefs about the medium of instruction and translanguaging evolve over time by revisiting three in‐service teachers twelve years after their initial interviews. Using a qualitative longitudinal design, the study traces how translanguaging was initially framed as pedagogically deficient but ...

Resource Substitution: Local Governments' Issue Attention and Policy Reinvention

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on policy reinvention, where a government modifies rather than replicates policy innovations introduced by other governments, has progressed significantly, but how it is influenced by the government's issue attention has not been thoroughly examined.

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.

Three‐Stage Fluid‐Assisted Dual‐Mode Janus E‐Skin for Thermally Comfortable Multiplexed SERS Sweat Analysis and Strain Monitoring

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Wearable sweat sensors face persistent trade‐offs between multiplexed detection, signal stability, and wearing comfort. Here, we present a Janus electronic skin (e‐skin) with dual‐mode functionality, offering both thermal and moisture comfort.

Strain‐Dependent Evolution of Fatigue and Oxidation Damage in a Nickel‐Based Single‐Crystal Superalloy: The Dominant Mechanism Under Low‐Cycle and Thermomechanical Fatigue

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Systematic studies on the fatigue deformation and damage mechanisms of nickel‐based single‐crystal superalloys (Ni‐SXs) under combined thermal and mechanical conditions remain limited, particularly regarding the influence of strain amplitude on the relative contributions of fatigue and oxidation damage.

Inverse Thermal Softening Behavior in a High‐Entropy Alloy Under Various Strain Rates

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Although face‐centered cubic high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) have received extensive attention and in‐depth research, most existing studies focus on single temperature or strain rate conditions, lacking systematic investigations into deformation mechanisms under extreme thermomechanical coupling environments.

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like

Tuning Grain Boundary Carbides via Solute Rare‐Earth Elements to Prevent Intergranular Brittle Fracture

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Carbides strengthen the grain boundaries; nevertheless, excessive carbide precipitates embrittle the grain boundaries of high‐temperature alloys during prolonged service. Here, we provide direct evidence of solute rare‐earth atoms and demonstrate that they can trap vacancies and inhibit interstitial diffusion, restraining carbide precipitation
