Impact investing in biodiversity conservation with bonds: An analysis of financial and environmental risk

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 353-368, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Impact investments have the dual goals of generating profit and environmental and/or social impact from the same project or enterprise. This article examines recent impact investments in biodiversity conservation—specifically, debt finance in the form of conventional bonds and impact bonds.

Hydroxyl radical enhanced carbon dots fluorescence quenching immunoassays for simultaneous detection of six kinds of antibiotics

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, Volume 1, Issue 3-4, Page 212-223, December 2022., 2022
A label‐free fluorescence quenching immunoassays using hydroxyl radical‐sensitive carbon dots as fluorescence probe was established for simultaneous extraction and highly sensitive detection of six wide‐spectrum antibiotics (nitrofuran metabolites, chloramphenicol, and florfenicol) in animal‐derived food.

Selection of the promising accessions of jamun (Syzygium cumini (L.) skeels) based on pomological characterizations

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 470-480, January 2023., 2023
The obtained results are useful for designing conservation strategies for the germplasm as well as implementing breeding programs such as introducing cultivars with different goals such as early or late ripening and seedless, non‐astringent, large, and deeper color‐fruits.

Multi‐proxy reconstruction of the Holocene vegetation and land use dynamics in the Julian Alps, north‐west Slovenia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 107-122, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Small mountain lakes are natural archives for understanding long‐term natural and anthropogenic impact on the environment. This study focused on long‐term (last ca. 13 000 years) vegetation changes and sedimentary processes in the catchment area of Lake Planina pri jezeru (1430 m a.s.l.) by using mineralogical, geochemical and palynological ...

Cost‐effective in‐mine seismic experiments to image platinum deposits and associated geological structures at Maseve platinum mine, South Africa

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 572-589, December 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The detection of mineral deposits and their related geological structures is of great importance to the mining industry as structures (such as dykes and faults) can affect the safety, cost and efficiency of mining. With the goal of testing cost‐effective seismic methods for mineral exploration and mining, active and passive seismic experiments

Geographic object‐based image analysis (GEOBIA) of the distribution and characteristics of aeolian sand dunes in Arctic Sweden

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 22-36, January/March 2023., 2023
Abstract Current climate change in the Arctic is unprecedented in the instrumental record, with profound consequences for the environment and landscape. In Arctic Sweden, aeolian sand dunes have been impacted by climatic changes since their initial formation after the retreat of the last glacial ice sheet.

Automatic flower detection and phenology monitoring using time‐lapse cameras and deep learning

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 765-777, December 2022., 2022
We present an automatized method for monitoring flower phenology of specific plant species trough full growing seasons and across geographical regions. The method couples image‐based monitoring of field plots with a dedicated convolutional neural network to detect and count flowers in the images, and returns information on flowering phenology at ...

Where to find over-massive brown dwarfs: new benchmark systems for binary evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Under the right conditions brown dwarfs that gain enough mass late in their lives to cross the hydrogen burning limit will not turn into low-mass stars, but rather remain essentially brown dwarf-like. While these objects, called either beige dwarfs or over-massive brown dwarfs, may exist in principle, it remains unclear exactly how they would form ...
