Abstract Registries of Indigenous knowledge and centralised Indigenous authorities to oversee these have been advanced as mechanisms to prevent the misappropriation of Indigenous knowledge within Western intellectual property (IP) systems. This article critically examines the potential and limitations of such registries and centralised authorities in ...

Forest Floor Protection: The Critical Defense Against Post‐Harvest Soil Carbon Loss
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of soil carbon accumulation and loss following forest harvest is crucial for sustainable forest operations in western Canada. However, the region's diverse climates and forest types complicate broad generalizations regarding disturbance impacts. We synthesized 20 years of soil carbon stock (SCS) data from the British

Preliminary design of a BWB UAV for highway traffic monitoring
Abstract The current work presents the preliminary design procedure of a small-scale, fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), incorporating the novel Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) layout configuration. The UAV is designed to support a Cooperative-Intelligent Transport System (C-ITS), for monitoring traffic conditions at large national ...

Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...

A Structural Design Concept for a Multi-Shell Blended Wing Body with Laminar Flow Control
Static and fatigue analyses are presented for a new blended wing body (BWB) fuselage concept considering laminar flow control (LFC) by boundary layer suction in order to reduce the aerodynamic drag. BWB aircraft design concepts profit from a structurally
