Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

A High‐Performance Oxidized Graphene for Dendrite‐Free Anodes and Kinetically Enhanced Cathodes of Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Oxidized graphene rich in carboxylic acid groups obtained via a simple electrochemical exfoliation route is shown to tackle the main challenges of aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs), specifically short Zn anode cycle life and sluggish cathode reaction kinetics.

Digital twin quantifies spatial‐heterogeneity‐driven failure in fast‐charging lithium‐ion battery anodes

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
This work constructs a series of graphite anodes with systematically varied binder distribution, porosity, and electrode thickness to resolve the role of microstructural heterogeneity during fast charging. The digital twin framework reveals how phase‐level structural gradients govern Li plating, SEI formation, and diffusion‐induced stresses, providing ...

The Effects of the Dark and Light Triad Traits on Entrepreneurs' Coping Strategies and Psychological Well‐Being

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research has often portrayed entrepreneurs in largely positive terms, reflecting their contributions to innovation, employment, and economic growth. At the same time, it is well recognized that entrepreneurial activity can also involve harmful and unethical behaviors, as evidenced by numerous cases of misconduct among business owners and ...

Managing Strategically in Public Procurement: Dynamic Capabilities, Set‐Asides, and Contract Outcomes

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key challenge in public procurement management is balancing equity and efficiency in government procurement. Based on longitudinal data on more than 120,000 US federal service and construction contracts awarded between 2008 and 2018 across over 500 federal agencies, we examine how agency‐level dynamic capabilities shape the performance of ...

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.
