A legal assessment of private land conservation in South America
Abstract Privately protected areas (PPAs) are a potentially innovative conservation tool. Legal recognition is necessary for their success, especially where there are institutional challenges to nature conservation, such as in South America. Although PPAs have increased in South America since the early 2000s, there is a critical information gap ...

Highlights For distinguishing glucokinase maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (GCK‐MODY) from hepatocyte nuclear factor 1‐α MODY (HNF1A‐MODY), total triglycerides may help during the follow‐up period. In order to discriminate GCK‐MODY from MODY‐like type 2 diabetes, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein may be a suitable indicator in the early stage ...

Facilitating biodiversity conservation through partnerships to achieve transformative outcomes
Abstract Conservation biology is a mission‐driven discipline that must navigate a new relationship between conservation and science. Because conservation is a social and political as well as an ecological project, conservation biologists must practice interdisciplinarity and collaboration.

Abstract Defined by threat, urgency, and uncertainty, crises produce opportunities for government leaders to exploit and create meaning around their policy decisions in such unstable circumstances. In narrating their preferred policy solutions, one of the tools governments can use is relying on evidence‐based information.

ABSTRACT Objective Placental dysfunction can result in small‐for‐gestational age (SGA) or fetal growth restriction (FGR). The aim of this prospective cohort study was to assess the association of the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and other more conventional fetoplacental Doppler indices, circulating placental growth factor (PlGF) levels and soluble fms ...

Background – Canine interdigital furunculosis (CIF) is a complex, relapsing inflammatory condition, typically complicated by deep bacterial infections requiring prolonged systemic antibiotics. Hypothesis/Objectives – This split‐body study, where dogs acted as their own control, evaluated whether the adjunctive use of fluorescent light energy (FLE ...

Abstract The policy feedback literature has long argued that policies influence politics. Several scholars have examined the interpretive and resource effects of policies on political participation. However, how different policy design characteristics – say their generosity and their delivery – interact to influence political engagement requires ...

波形钢腹板钢管混凝土模型拱面内极限承载力试验研究 [PDF]
进行了波形钢腹板钢管混凝土模型拱的面内两点非对称和对称加载试验。对模型拱的挠度、钢管应变、波形钢腹板应变、极限承载力等进行了分析。试验结果表明:波形钢腹板钢管混凝土拱是一种受力性能很好的新型组合拱。在这种结构中,波形钢腹板与钢管混凝土弦杆均能发挥其各自的优势。它与钢管混凝土单圆管和哑铃形拱相比,刚度与承载力有了很大提高;与钢管混凝土桁拱相比,避开了节点破坏问题,模型拱呈总体破坏特征,从而使其延性与极限承载力明显提高。有限元分析表明:在承载力分析中应考虑双重非线性的影响 ...
