Shock wave propagation characteristics of aluminum‐containing explosive in corrugated steel‐lined tunnel

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Aluminum‐enhanced afterburning renders AE explosives more hazardous than conventional ones. Corrugated steel linings reduce far‐field AE blast overpressure by ~50% through wave reflection and dissipation. The developed model accurately predicts peak pressure (<10% error) and arrival time (<3% error), supporting protective design.

Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

Species distribution modeling with expert elicitation and Bayesian calibration

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDM) are key tools in ecology, conservation, and natural resources management. They are traditionally trained with data on direct species observations. However, if collecting species data is difficult or expensive, complementary information sources on species distributions are needed.

Ideological (a)Symmetry in Research Evaluations: The Case of Research on Ideological Versus Racial Group Differences

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research investigates how political ideology shapes laypeople's evaluation of scientific studies examining cognitive differences between groups. In three experiments in Germany and the United States, participants evaluated identical research reports that varied only in the intergroup context—racial (Blacks/Whites) or ideological (liberals/

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Sustainable Optimization of Emissions and Performance in Hydrogen Port Injection Diesel Engines Through Port Timing and Injection Duration Modulation

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Optimizing hydrogen port injection in diesel engines significantly improves efficiency and reduces emissions, demonstrating a sustainable dual‐fuel strategy for cleaner transportation solutions and lower environmental impact. ABSTRACT This study evaluates a single‐cylinder hydrogen port injection (HPFI) Diesel engine by systematically varying the ...

Textural characterization of agar–agar and guar gum‐based hydrocolloids in vegan gummies: Effects of acid and sugar

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores the potential of replacing gelatin with vegan hydrocolloids as gelling agents in gummies. The goal was to create a gelatin‐free, vegan gummy using natural plant‐based hydrocolloids such as agar–agar and guar gum, which provide a chewy texture similar to gelatin.

A Nutritional Paradigm to Impede Cataract Initiation: A Narrative Review of Emerging Perspective on Nutraceuticals

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
By lowering oxidative stress and lens protein aggregation, nutraceuticals enriched with antioxidants may reduce the development of senile cataracts, demonstrating their potential as supplemental, non‐pharmacological cataract preventive methods. ABSTRACT This review explores the emerging evidence to accommodate the developing requirement of non ...

The Many Facets of Workplace Moral Courage: Development and Validation of a Multidimensional Scale

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the battle against unethical behavior in organizations, fostering employees' moral courage proves vital beyond conventional regulation and compliance efforts. To propel this frontier and empower individuals to uphold moral values, a robust measure of workplace moral courage becomes imperative.
