Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Equity and growth in developing countries : old and new perspectives on the policy issues [PDF]

open access: yes
The"stylized fact"that distribution must get worse with economic growth in poor countries before it can get better turns out not to be a fact at all. Growth's effects on inequality can go either way and are contingent on several other factors.

Assessing and Quantifying Variability Across Vacuum‐Assisted Resin Infusion Variants for Aerospace‐Grade Composite Manufacturing

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Radar‐plot comparison of consolidation quality and flexural performance of composite laminates manufactured by six vacuum‐infusion routes, evaluated at the resin‐inlet and vacuum‐port regions. ABSTRACT Conventional vacuum‐assisted resin transfer molding (C‐VARTM) is recognized as a cost‐effective resin infusion technique for manufacturing large‐scale ...

Organotin and osmoregulation: quantifying the effects of environmental concentrations of sediment-associated tri-n-butyltin and triphenyltin on osmoregulatory processes in the European flounder Platichthys flesus (L)

open access: yes, 2000
The disruption of physiological and morphological aspects of osmoregulatory processes in freshwater-adapted 0-group European flounders, Platichthys flesus (L.), caused by exposure to environmental concentrations (150 ng triorganotin g-1 dry weight ...

Pretreatment Effects of Conventional and Reactive Extrusion on LLDPE Waste Pyrolysis

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the pyrolysis study using original and pretreated LLDPE waste samples. Pretreatment was performed via twin‐screw extrusion at 450°C: without additives (REX), with peroxide (REX‐RO2), or with polypropylene (REX–PP). All four samples underwent pyrolysis at 450°C–475°C for 15–45 min.

Open‐land‐derived agroforestry and effects of abandonment of management of the main crop on ecosystem services and woody plant diversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full
