Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the European Union's main instrument for agricultural planning, with a new reform approved for 2023–2027. The CAP intends to align with the European Green Deal (EGD), a set of policy initiatives underpinning sustainable development and climate neutrality in the European Union (EU), but several flaws cast

The uses and implications of avian vocalizations for conservation planning
Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 50-63, February 2021., 2021 Abstract There is a growing recognition that animal behavior can affect wildlife conservation, but there have been few direct studies of animal behavior in conservation programs. However, a great deal of existing behavioral research can be applied in the context of conservation. Research on avian vocalizations provides an excellent example.

Climate suitability as a predictor of conservation translocation failure
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 1473-1481, December 2020., 2020 Abstract The continuing decline and loss of biodiversity has caused an increase in the use of interventionist conservation tools, such as translocation. However, many translocation attempts fail to establish viable populations, with poor release site selection often flagged as an inhibitor of success.

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 294-311, December 2024.Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze

Policy &Internet, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 818-832, December 2024.Abstract In recent years, the pace of Internet regulation around the world has quickened, with states increasingly confident that they can and should hold major platform companies to account. New laws have been developed to address the risks of digital technologies and law‐makers have drawn on familiar regulatory principles and legacy frameworks in ...

Social participation challenges and response strategies identified by adults aging with a disability
Journal of Elder Policy, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 95-109, October 2024.Abstract Social participation is likely to decrease among older adults as disability levels increase. However, it is a modifiable determinant of health that can impact older adults' well‐being and quality of life. Thus, this secondary data analysis aimed to understand what challenges older adults aging with a mobility or vision disability face with ...

Counter‐terrorism and humanitarian action: UK INGO responses since 2015
Disasters, Volume 48, Issue 2, April 2024.There has been growing awareness in recent years of the wide‐ranging negative impacts that counter‐terrorism measures and sanctions impose on humanitarian action. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with the staff of international non‐governmental organisations (INGOs), this paper examines these impacts on INGOs based in the United Kingdom. This is a

Dianci bileiqi, 2005 重点分析和研究了降阻材料中降阻剂,电解地极的降阻机理;论述了降阻剂在实际接地工程中对接地体的腐蚀,降阻的稳定性,降阻效果,施工工艺以及降阻剂对环境的污染等问题;提出了在选择降阻剂时,应从降阻剂的电阻率,对钢接地体的腐蚀率,降阻剂的稳定性和长效性,对环境的污染以及降阻剂的价格等方面综合考虑;阐述了降阻措施应建立在对接地装置周围的地形、地势及土壤电阻率分布进行认真勘探、测量的基础上。

Gaoya dianqi, 2013 降低变电站接地电阻,对保障人员、设备安全特别重要,敷设斜接地极是降低变电站接地电阻的重要措施。为确定斜接地极降阻效果,采用CDEGS软件建立仿真模型,分析了斜接地极布置位置、角度、长度、根数等对不同面积接地网的降阻效果和特征,进而确定了斜接地极的布置方式,并将斜接地极与垂直接地极进行对比。结果显示:敷设斜接地极能够有效降低变电站接地电阻,特别是对100 m×100 m以下地网降阻效果较好;均匀土壤中斜接地极降阻效果优于垂直接地极;分层土壤结构中,接地极的降阻效果取决于实际土壤结构 ...
